Stephen Colbert talkin bout The National Organization for Marriage, abbreviated as NOM.

oh god! the homo-storm got me!

NOM publicly thanked Stephen Colbert’s show for bringing attention to their group. What.

Apparently, they believe that Colbert has helped their cause, somehow. This is, as they say, ADORBS:
“I’ve always thought Stephen Colbert was a double-agent, pretending to pretend to be a conservative, to pull one over Hollywood. Now I’m sure,” said Maggie Gallagher, President of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM).

“Thank you Stephen for playing our ad in full on national television–for free. HRC eat your heart out. Plus we all had a great chuckle, too!” said Brian Brown, NOM’s Executive Director. “Where can I make a donation to the National Organization for Colbert?”

clearly these bitches don’t understand sarcasm. ontd
Anti-Gay Group Sends Letter To Colbert Thanking Him For Mocking Them Huffington Post

In the November 24th issue of The New Yorker, Claire Hoffman’s interview with Prince gives a detailed account of her visit to his home in Los Angeles. It also quotes Prince on politics and homosexuality.

“So here’s how it is: you’ve got the Republicans, and basically they want to live according to this.” He pointed to a Bible. “But there’s the problem of interpretation, and you’ve got some churches, some people, basically doing things and saying it comes from here, but it doesn’t. And then on the opposite end of the spectrum you’ve got blue, you’ve got the Democrats, and they’re, like, ‘You can do whatever you want.’ Gay marriage, whatever. But neither of them is right.”

When asked about his perspective on social issues—gay marriage, abortion—Prince tapped his Bible and said, “God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like, ‘Enough.’ ”

Idk, coming from the guy that answers the door in yoga pants and platform flipflops, it sounds kinda off. This dude thrives on gender-bending clothing choices. Fuck, half of his sex appeal is his androgynous style. He converted to Jehovah’s Witness in 2001.

Thankfully, Perez Hilton says that Prince’s people are all pissed about the publishing. Hoffman didn’t have a tape recorder and misinterpreted Prince’s motion to the Bible at a time different than when he did. As to who is right, Prince’s PR or the writer, we won’t know for sure.

I like this bit:

Apparently, the interviewer did not even use a recorder when she spoke with His Holy Purpleness, and that when she called his people to fact check, it turned out she had several factual inaccuracies, including a little bit about Prince recovering from hip surgery, which he never even had. Like Prince is really made of bones or something and not nebulous gold glitter - come on!

yay. i hope.

ontd and the backlash that is commenting

Apparently I’m slow on picking up on things. At any rate, Keith Olbermann made a special comment on the passing of Proposition 8 a few days ago. He seems to be just as confused as I am that the hippie dippy awesome state of California rescinded its law on allowing gay marriage.

on the whole idea in general: “this isn’t about yelling, and this isn’t about politics. This is about the human heart, and if that sounds corny, so be it…”

on people against legalized gay marriage: “What is it to you? …they don’t want to take anything away from you.”
