Uma, Anita; Anita, Uma. As reported by THR and other trade outlets, Uma Thurman has been cast as outspoken anti-gay activist Anita Bryant in the upcom...
The latest episode of Critical Thinking Hosted by Waymon Hudson focuses on the anti-gay myth that has been blocking LGBT equality progress for decades: the vicious and debunked "Save Our Children" argument that gays are somehow dangerous to children.
Last week ultra-right-wing rabbi Noson Leiter referred to Hurricane Sandy as "divine justice" for the state of New York's 2011 legalization of marriage for same-sex couples. Conservative Christian leaders have long held LGBT people responsible for natural disasters.
A museum in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., has something the Smithsonian in Washington wants: a gavel. Sitting in a glass case at the Stonewall National M...
In late January, Robert Green Jr. found himself back where he started more than 30 years ago--trying to reconcile the parents he knew with the public ...
Bob Green is dead. Most people have no idea who he was. You can't blame them. He was just a speed bump on the road toward equality of rights. Behind the scenes, however, he played an important role in creating the "culture war" that still plagues this nation.
Here's something you don't hear everyday (or even every century): Anita Bryant wants a gay best friend. E!'s Marc Malkin reports Bryant recently me...
A year ago today, U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn R. Walker overturned Prop 8. I thought the war had finally been won. We were elated. It was truly justice done. But as with so much else, it was also justice unfinished.
Apparently we are a nation comfortable with paradox: our increasingly conservative politics coexist with a popular culture more uninhibited than ever. Or are we? Can the center hold?
I am a Republican with a long and proud Republican History. I worked as a GOP political consultant and advisor for over 30 years. I was a senior c...
The Real L Word may reflect today's anything-goes philosophy, but as a meaningful dialogue about gay issues, tolerance, and human rights, it falls way short.
When Elvis fell off a toilet and straight into rock'n'roll heaven, I was the reporter the paper called to drive up to Memphis to cover it. But I didn't want to go.
Carrie Prejean has become a sort of anti-Susan Boyle. It isn't just that she's a bigot, per se. There is no shortage of bigots. They just usually don't wear tiaras.
I call for a boycott of all things Fox. It worked on Florida orange juice. Think I'm overreacting? Leave your gay-friendly, big city bubble for a minute.
HBO is developing a biopic of former beauty queen, singer and celebrity pitchwoman Anita Bryant, who is known mostly for her work as an anti-gay activ...
With a record of 0-31 in marriage initiatives, now may be a good opportunity to review our complicity in a process that doles out or strips away basic rights by majority vote.
Was it bigotry that defeated gay marriage in Maine and California, or was it ignorance? Films like The Campaign, about the fight for gay rights, require our attention and our support.
The ACLU is back in court in Florida challenging the constitutionality of that state's thirty-year old law which prohibits lesbians and gay men from adopting.
Prejean might want to take a brief look at Milk and think about how her legacy will hold up over the long haul. It is not the hero of that movie she resembles. No offense intended.
Watching the film on the 30th anniversary of Milk's tragic and unnecessary death ... I was reminded that while we've come far, we really haven't gotten anywhere.
The most poignant aspect of Milk is that the story it tells -- of the fight against ignorance and intolerance -- is, unlike the hairdos and the Haight couture in the film -- all too current.
There she was, on the screen, in Milk. Anita Bryant, speaking out about "the homosexual agenda." Back in 1977, she was hugely controversial.
Bryant became the gay community's public enemy No. 1 for leading a movement to overturn antidiscrimination laws. I called her office to find out what she thinks about the upcoming movie.
