"SNL" parodies "300," Obama, DADT

While Saturday Night Live has been flailing as of late (Can't we just rewind the tape a few years to the much more hilarious times?), the show has been producing some queer content as of late, especially when it comes to Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

Lady GaGa beats out Obama on equality

Equality is on the hor… Continue

The Difference Between Trans And Gay

"I'm tired of hearing people talk about me, Telling me I'm a disgrace to society. Just look at yourself clearly in the mirror. I'm not much of a sinner!
