The same people that were condemning Kim Davis as a repulsive bigot were raving that Blank Frank was "inspiring" and wonderful.

but attack anyone who points out he's a bigot. DUers fighting for LGBTQ equality and reproductive choice are somehow the enemies to be silenced, and NOT the guy leading a billion-person-strong organization with uncountable wealth who is actively (and literally!) preaching against both.

in our jury system.

No one would get hidden for calling a Republican politician with the same positions as the pope those names. Why should Blank Frank get a pass?

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]The pope was invited to speak to Homeless, LGBTQ, Catholic Youths.

Nope, fuck that. But he did take time to meet with Kim Davis!

What great priorities, huh? [/font]

Right? Well, ok..some of us more than others (yeah, you). Myself, I'm way out in front of Blank Frank on pretty much every issue, whereas he's either late to the party or disgustingly wrong. I'm thinking he should be getting his inspiration from ME!

I got some pasties at the burleque a few months ago. I thought they were $10 a pair but they were $30. By the time I found out I was too far into the deal to withdraw. So I paid $30 for some hand-made-by-a-burlesque-performer pasties. They're purple



I haven't used them yet. You apply them with double-sided tape. Double damn sided tape. Who knew?!

Those telling us to stop hating the homophobia and misogyny of the RCC have questionable priories as well.
