As I type this, it's about 4:30 AM in Australia, just a few hours before the national elections start up. The bulk of the national and international attention on the elections has been on the neck-...

I've always been a tad suspicious of secretly queer homophobes who get outed, only to then morph, hey presto, into crusaders for gay rights.

The following interview is a very important piece of history. When Paul Krassner first published it in the June, 1962 edition of his underground newspaper, The Realist, the Roe v. Wade decision was...

Just when you figure Mike Huckabee couldn't be any more of a putz than we already know he is, he goes and surprises you. Most recently, the ex-governor of Arkansas caused a minor shitstorm by...

Stonewall Week is here again, gang, time to haul out those rainbow-colored tchotchkes. You know, the plastic shit manufactured in that bastion of queer rights, the People's Republic of China. And...

Ah, the things you learn from debates on online message boards….

When I stopped working for youth-focused sex education, I thought the political bullshit would be left far behind me. I thought that by working with adults, I would finally be able to speak openly...

I’m on my way home from Denver, where I testified as an expert witness at a deeply troubling trial—a trial that’s become way too common in America.
Here’s the situation: The defendant “Mr. Jones...

Remember playing with photos and scissors as a young teen? You’d make collages: your scrawny face on a caveman’s body, your friend’s body with the head of a dog, you and a movie star on a beach in...

Yesterday was International Human Rights Day.
On such a day, we think of journalists and political activists who are jailed, tortured or killed; people so poor they have no toilets or clean...
