You can love America and also delight in watching Trump’s vain vision of America’s 250th celebration fizzle like a sparkler in a sprinkler.

Folklore

 

Pride 2026

 

Here's evidence that I (on the right) marched with my church in Seattle's Pride Parade yesterday. The crowd seemed both celebratory and defiant, which, by the end of the procession, was more than could be said for my knees.

The Horror

 

That Was Then

It was 11 years ago today that the Supreme Court made marriage equality the law of the land.

If that hadn't happened and Jim Obergefell stood before this present crop of justices, they'd give him a choice between conversion therapy or scrubbing the Reflecting Pool.

Pastor Odious

Allow me to introduce you to Jackson Lahmeyer, megachurch minister.

The founder of Pastors for Trump, Lahmeyer has ended his bid for a congressional seat from Oklahoma, thanks to a report in the Daily Mail tabloid. It seems the married Lahmeyer exchanged thousands of racy text messages with a former beauty queen who worked on his campaign.

In one message, the father of five says he "enjoyed those lips." In another, Lahmeyer tells her of going to a strip club after leaving Mar-A-Lago.

Just another fundamentalist minister who moonlights as a hypocrite?

Not quite. Lahmeyer previously claimed that "witchcraft-practicing lesbians" started Black Lives Matter. And he posted that the "Antichrist will be a HOMOSEXUAL of Jewish descent."

Lahmeyer's sexting scandal won't land the two-faced HETEROSEXUAL bigot in nearly enough trouble for my taste. If you ask me, the witchcraft-practicing lesbians have shirked their duty by not coming up with a spell for these occasions.
