How my site was taken down in a web-washing attempt by false “hate crime” victim Justin Zatkoff

By Mark | November 11, 2012

I apologize for the interruption in service yesterday, but my site was taken down without my consent, at the request of a man by the name of Justin Zatkoff. If the name sounds familiar, it’s because I wrote about Justin back in 2006, when he was severely beaten in Ann Arbor. The story went viral [...]

You’ve just crossed over into… the Queer Zone

By Mark | October 27, 2011

It’s nice to be reminded on occasion that, in spite of all the bad shit going on in the world, there are still incredible people doing good things all around us, trying to make life better for people who are desperate, confused, scared, hungry, etc. I had the occasion to speak with one of those [...]

The christening of the U.S.S. Paul Lynde

By Mark | December 19, 2010

Funny headlines aside, we all know that, in reality, not one goddamned thing will change in the military based on the recall of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. It’s a ridiculous non-story, and I can’t believe the extent to which the whole thing has been in the news. Hopefully, now that it’s done, what’s left of [...]

The relationship between the National Organization for Marriage and Carrie Prejean

By Mark | November 8, 2009
