Zach Wahls, the son of two lesbians, addressed the Iowa legislature in defense of same-sex marriage this past year. This is the footage of his impassioned speech. Okay, I want to marry Zach now. Or vote for him. What year will he be eligible to run for president? But seriously, his words were so eloquent and moving. My heart is bursting. I just watched the speech four times in a row. I’m trying to memorize it. [Move On]
I consider myself a Christian and nothing pisses me off more than when people are bigoted a**holes and couch it in “Christianity.” Yes, I’m talking about you, Victoria Childress, baker in Iowa. Victoria was courted by a lesbian couple, Trina Vodraska and Janelle Sievers, to prepare a wedding cake for their June nuptials. But during a taste-testing session on Thursday afternoon, Victoria realized these two gals weren’t sisters or friends but [stage whisper] lesbians! That’s when Victoria said, as she told local news station KCCI, “‘I’ll tell you I’m a Christian, and I do have convictions.’ And I said, ‘I’m sorry to tell you, but I’m not going to be able to do your cake.’” Just like what Jesus would do.

Holy thought police, bat girl! Police in Iowa arrested a pregnant woman in her second trimester last month for telling a nurse she’d been thinking about having an abortion. While in the hospital after falling down a flight of stairs, Christine Taylor, 22, told a nurse about her employment and marital woes; Christine also said she’d considered both abortion and adoption before deciding to carry her pregnancy to full-term. The nurse then got suspicious that Christine had been trying to self-abort by throwing herself down the stairs — Christine was arrested under Iowa’s feticide laws, and the poor woman spent two days in jail.

Depending on which poll you’re reading, the Senator from Illinois may be in the lead in today’s Iowa Caucus. We’re not going to indicate where we stand politically in the current primary race, however, we will indicate where our lady parts stand — firmly in Obama’s pants…err, camp. The inspired speaker and youngest Presidential candidate is sex on a freaking stick. [CNN] Keep reading »
We’re not political analysts or anything, but we’re going to take a wild guess and say that Republican Presidential Candidate Fred Thompson just lost a whole lot of potential votes. On Wednesday in Iowa, he said, “There is no woman on the horizon that ought to be president next year, let’s all agree on that.” Denouncing one woman would have been understandable – Hillary is the competition, after all, and sometimes you need to badmouth your opponents. But he didn’t even mention Hillary! Sure, she’s the only female with a fighting chance, but he kind of makes it seem like no woman will win, not next year, not ever. Fred, dear, it’s never wise to put down the group that makes up more than half of the U.S. electorate. [KGAN] Keep reading »
