The Columbus Dispatch’s Alan Miller refused my demand for an apology and retraction of Joe Hallett’s Sunday column. Shocker, I know! The email includes the most offensive reference of all this “public discussion” to date. Will Brian Rothenberg attack the Dispatch for calling his sexuality a “preference?” Nice people you crawled into bed with, Brian. You [...]

Guess who’s name isn’t on this rally for HB 176. If you guessed the gay baiting homophobe who Brian Rothenberg wants you to think is on his side, you’re right! Farce.

Like all cowards do. We attacked you on the merits. You falsely ignored that and went to the Dispatch and essentially screamed “Modern called me a f****t.” And like a coward, now you refuse to so much as talk to me to explain the basis of your actions.

Brian Rothenberg himself is gay baiting. That Rothenberg is gay, and is only gay baiting in response to criticism that he sat down with a [...]

I ran into Joe Hallett at the Barack Obama town hall in Shaker Heights, introduced myself, my blog, told him where to find me if he wanted to chat. Hallett seemed nice enough. And even though I know for a fact that he reads my stuff, Hallett said he didn’t. Which of course is fine, [...]

The quality of journalism coming from the Rachel Maddow Show right now is beyond anything that’s been done in news, in any medium – print, TV, radio, internet – in my lifetime. This quality has accelerated in the health care reform debate. Rachel is uncovering the biases, the financial interests, the facts, the myths, so [...]

I was hoping someone would respond to my John Hughes/gay post, because I’ve been thinking about this a lot, and it’s extra great that it was DJBG. your wrong, of course. the time was wrong, John Hughes needed his movies made and not banned. No test audience would have stood for a gay geek or Cameron [...]

A ton of great writing is out there since John Hughes died. This one in the New York Times caught my eye. Which is not to say — I hasten to tell the children of Barack Obama and Vitamin Water — that Mr. Hughes’s movies provide a literal or comprehensive picture of that time. A lot [...]
