Homo Escape, Hatch!

Posted by Dan Savage on Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 1:06 PM

This just in:

"Survivor" winner Richard Hatch said in an interview broadcast Tuesday that he believes he was sent to prison because he's gay.

Ellen Degeneres, Andrew Sullivan, Elton John, Billie Jean King, Clay Aiken, Rosie O'Donnell, and my boyfriend remain at large.

Well, if you posted a pic of your boyfriend I would be happy to put up "wanted" posters.

Something shirtless would be nice...

(can't blame a queen for trying)

Thank you Mr. Hatch for alerting us to this new plot by the federal government!

Now we don't only have to worry about "death panels" but the homo inquisition as well!

This is hilarious. The guy accepts a check for $1 million on national television, pays no taxes on it, but somehow feels persecuted. This guy is nuts.

& TR Knight, & Neil Patrick Harris, & all the queer eye guys...

@6

Aren't the Queer Eye guys in jail? I assumed Ted Allen ratted the other four out in exchange for witness protection on the food network, and that's why he's the only one still around.

Joan Jett, Samantha Fox, Janet Napolitano, Alan Chambers, Charlie Crist, Larry Craig...

oh no! did he play "the GAY CARD"?

Or ... it could be because he committed a crime.

The gay thing probably just increased the sentence duration.

I thought his sentence would be increased because he was, as portrayed on Survivor S1, a total fucker who walked away with a million dollars, but no, that's the crime for which he was ultimately sentenced.

He was sent to prison because he tax-evaded and lied to the stand. He could have been martian venusian, gay, straight, mormon etc... he comitted a serious offence and was sentenced.. Hey Richard, snap out of it... there is no conspiration theory.
