Winning candidate is not only gay, but OPENLY gay

Brandon Burt

It was good news that Stan Penfold won the Salt Lake City Council District 3 race (he's the one who supported gay rights and neighborhood bars).

And, yes, Penfold is gay, and as far as anybody can tell, Nov. 3 marked the first time a gay man was elected to the Council.

Looking on the bright side ...

Brandon Burt

Apart from the revocation of marriage rights in Maine, things didn't go all that badly for the gays, electionwise.

The blame in Maine lies mainly on the lame

Brandon Burt

It's not official yet, but it seems like everybody's calling a win for the ballot measure that seeks to take away the rights of gays and lesbians in Maine to marry. Assuming the measure does pass, though, it will be by a very narrow margin.

Keith Allen vs. Westboro Baptist Church

Brandon Burt

Keith Allen is something of an entertainment Renaissance man. The Welsh-born artist has occupied pretty much every creative field imaginable, from acting and songwriting to writing and film-making.

In 2007, he was in his documentary television mode, making videos for the U.K.'s Channel 4, when he became interested in the Westboro Baptist Church (the "God Hates Fags/America/Sweden/etc." people). He traveled across the pond to Topeka to confront the Phelps clan in their compound.

Proof that lots of Mormons are cool

Brandon Burt

Some readers have gotten the idea that I hate Mormons.

I guess it's understandable. I spend a lot of time railing against LDS Church leadership -- mainly for financing anti-marriage campaigns and supporting church policies that encourage the spiritual abuse of its gay and lesbian members.

What is NOM hiding in Maine?

Brandon Burt

The National Organization for Marriage -- which has a pretty Orwellian name for a group seeking to prevent a lot of people's marriages -- is hitting Maine hard this season in an attempt to revoke the marriage rights of gays and lesbians in that state -- and trying to skirt Maine's election laws in the process.

The Importance of Being Gay Tony

Brandon Burt

Disclosure: A few months ago, when I stumbled upon a reference to the impending release of a video game titled Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony, I dismissed it as some kind of geeky Internet meme.

Shows how much I know about the gaming world.
