I hear that in the Middle East they drink the blood of babies and pita out of the skin of gays...

The only Republicans not dreaming all day out about cock are Condi Rice and Mary Cheney.

Montana's gay and lesbian community? So the guy's gotten, what, four phone calls?

The tiresome conflation of homosexuality and bestiality is misguided, at best. The standard joke is:
[Insert western state name], where the men are men and the sheep run scared. It's the "hetero" men that the sheep are scared of - the homos are off fucking homos.


Anyway, as the t-shirt sentiment makes clear, Larry Craig is not gay. He may like to use sign language to pick up men in public facilities, he may like to have sex with men, but, he assures us, he is not not not gay.


One other quick note. The Village Persons include a cowboy and an indian: Montana icons.

Ok cmon, its a little funny. All straights are a little homophobic. Just like everyone is a little bit racist. Avenue q et Al.

Dan, the connection between cross dressing and being gay is not all that inaccurate.

After all, when I first me you, YOU still were dressing in drag.

No need to be a hypocrite.

You'd think that by placing items on Simpson's seat, Rehberg would be violating some sort of TSA regulation, the one addressed when they ask, "Have you packed your own bag? Has anyone asked you to carry anything for them? Has the luggage been out of your sight?"

Perhaps Rehberg should be placed on a Homeland Security watch list in case he tries to tamper with someone else's luggage or carry-on junk again.

@5 - when I read the part about sign language, I was all, what do deaf people have to do with any of this? You're obviously right that it was meant as the signs used to initiate anonymous restroom sex, but still, I think that one was a bit of a stretch.

Yeah, the items were kind of lame but the punch line was kind of cute. Montana GLBT groups should let this one slide.

Where in the Middle East were they going?

I have to add that not all gay men do drag. I was with a group of 20 & 30 something gay friends talking about it, and none of us had ever done drag. Although one did say "Make no mistake, if I ever did drag, I would be fierce."

You know, for Rehberg this is a step up, seriously. Several years ago he stood in the State Capital building in Helena while he was the Lt Govenor and said the state should not spend money on AIDS patients as they were going to die anyway and Montana should not waste it's money. So this is actually a step in the right direction for that right wing piece of shit.

I'd like to take this opportunity to say:

Butch Otter!

And I think it bears repeating:

Butch Otter!

Matt Sanchez went to Iraq as an embed and he was openly in gay porn and cruising men. So it's bullshit for people like Anderson Cooper to use the excuse that they have to remain closeted because of the danger. Sanchez is totally open about his gay porn and escorting.

I was offended until I read the shirt. That is fucking funny.
