Awards Edition Plus Editorial
by Lenin Cat
Last Summer, the President said that his stance on marriage equality was "evolving", which of course is code for I'll support it after the election. It was nice to hear him weigh in on bills in Minnesota and North Carolina. It has long been evident that marriage equality is inevitable and frankly it's pretty embarrassing to watch the bigots in their death-throes. It's never pleasant to see people make jackasses out of themselves.
Today in a very special edition of the Golden Douchenozzle award, we have only one nominee, and this guy is a real doozy. This guy is so vile, so mean, so nasty that not even Rick Santorum is his class of bigots. He almost makes Fred Phelps seem, well, charming.
As far as the President is concerned, I sincerely hope that not only will he come out strongly in favor of equality after the election, but that he'll make a strong statement in favor of removing all barriers for the Federal recognition of same sex marriage.
It will be interesting to see just how "evolved" he turns out to be.
Department of Ennui
This is self-explanatory.

Now, without further ado, it's the
Golden Douchenozzle Award!!!
Today we have just one nominee and therefore one winner: The vile, the repugnant, ueber-bigot Maine's very own home-grown whackdoodle, Michael Heath!!
He used to be the chairman of the innocuous sounding Christian Civic League of Maine which, along with the Roman Catholic diocese spearheaded the effort to repeal marriage equality in 2009. Well, he's not with the Civic League any more, and in his new-found freedom he's back on the attack and saying what he really thinks.
You see, he doesn't speak of same sex marriage or even gay marriage. The term he prefers? Sodomy-based marriage, . Yep, you read that right. It gets even better, according to the Portland Phoenix:
The so-called "gay movement" is rooted in sorcery , and it is a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right.
So there we have it, from "sodomy-based marriage" to sorcery and the devil, Michael Heath.
