Jerry Falwell Radar Online is reporting that John McCain has a gay sweater problem (look here for pictures of his so-called gay sweaters and the "controversy" surrounding them). He apparently wears too many of them. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But there is something wrong with that if you're doing it because your handlers told you to. I believe in balance. You shouldn't always ignore your handlers. Sometimes they have very relevant poll results (like 70% of the country wants to withdraw from Iraq, you will lose the race if you support that position not that there's anything wrong with that either, if you really believe in staying in Iraq you should fight for it even if you're going to lose). Sometimes they tell you about facts in a policy debate that might help shape your opinion. Sometimes they tell you whether you have schmutz on your tie.

var tcdacmd="dt"; Back Next Fresh Intelligence D.C. CONFIDENTIAL McCain Unraveled by 'Gay Sweaters'? SWEAT THE TECHNIQUE McCain ( Photos: Getty Images In the final days of his imploding candidacy, John McCain has taken a page out of Richard Nixon's play book, finding increasingly bizarre explanations for his political failures. Strangest of all: He reportedly feels his handlers forced him to wear "gay sweaters." According to one insider, the knit-picking was the crescendo of a tirade by the Arizona senator, in which he blistered aides about the minutiae of the campaign. While many septuagenarians live in a perpetual state of sweater weather, McCain reportedly declared his frustration with being told to don the perceived homosexual outerwear in order to look younger and more approachable. "He wasn't happy being dictated to. The sweaters were part of that," the source says. The Mr. Rogers-inspired wardrobe was on its finest display last spring, when the candidate wore a roomy black snuggly while standing under the pounding Iraq sun. Washington insiders wondered why the campaign would place the candidate in such obviously awkward garb.

The University of Adelaide Library eBooks Help John Gay (1685-1732) Biographical note Poet and dramatist, born near Barnstaple of a good but decayed family. His parents dying while he was a child he was apprenticed to a silk-mercer in London, but not liking the trade, was released by his master. In 1708 he published a poem, Wine , and in 1713 Rural Sports , which he dedicated to Pope, whose friendship he obtained. A little before this he had received an appointment as secretary in the household of the Duchess of Monmouth. His next attempts were in the drama, in which he was not at first successful; but about 1714 he made his first decided hit in , a set of six pastorals designed to satirise Ambrose Philips, which, however, secured public approval on their own merits. These were followed by Trivia (1716), in which he was aided by Swift, an account in mock heroic verse of the dangers of the London streets, and by The Fan . G. had always been ambitious of public employment, and his aspirations were gratified by his receiving the appointment of secretary to an embassy to Hanover, which, however, he appears to have resigned in a few months. He then returned to the drama in , and Three Hours after Marriage , neither of which, however, took the public fancy. In 1720 he published a collection of his poems, which brought him £1000, but soon after lost all his means in the collapse of the South Sea Company. After producing another drama

Find Publish Community Join ... Lifestyle Was John Wayne Gay? Could it Be True? A totally devoted John Wayne fan will deny any accusation that screams John Wayne could have been gay. From a group of blindsided, biased people, I could easily understand the outrage but in an era where films like Brokeback Mountain had huge success we must once again revisit the question was John Wayne gay? John Wayne has been portrayed as a tough as nails, war fighting, cowboy that couldn't be toppled from his horse. Women feigned over his southern twang and broad shoulders while they rested in damsel-in-distress-saving arms both on and off the set. There have been arguments that because his first name was Marion that it hinted towards his more feminine ways that weren't and couldn't be seen on screen. However, the popular consensus is that his mother simply liked the name and failed to consider the consequences of giving a male child a female's name. Arguing against any gay connections, right-wing republicans remind us that John Wayne was a conservative republican. In 1943 Marion Morrison (John Wayne's real name) was a part of the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals and was also a die-hard anti-communist. John Wayne was one of the most famous Republicans in

Kevin Naff, managing editor of the Washington Blade and leader of the boycott says: Travolta, a prominent Scientologist, has no business reprising an iconic gay role, given his [religion's] stance on gay issues." Travolta, whose role in the upcoming film was originally played by drag queen and gay icon, Divine, says: There is nothing gay in this movie.

cddcodebase = "/";cddcodebase454632 = "/"; HELP E-mail Author Author Archive Send to a Friend ... Print Version February 10, 2004, 8:50 a.m. Bad timing for the Democrats. H as the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court just spoiled John Kerry's chance to be president? Quite possibly. It's difficult to know exactly how the politics of gay marriage will play out during the campaign. Yet there's every prospect that this issue will weigh heavily against John Kerry and Democratic congressional candidates this fall. It hasn't quite dawned on many Americans just how big this issue could be. Gay marriage is an awkward and polarizing subject. Neither the public, politicians, nor the media are eager to take it up. Yet there's a dynamic built into this issue that makes it likely to have an explosive impact on the coming campaign. But the trouble for Kerry and the Democrats doesn't end there. The media firestorm over gay marriage is going to continue through the entire campaign (and beyond). This country has never confronted a situation in which the marriages of a substantial body of citizens go unrecognized in large parts of the country. What happens if someone in a same-sex marriage is injured in a non-recognizing state? Will his spouse get hospital visitation rights? What if a marriage dissolves, and property in a non-recognizing state has to be divided? Complications will proliferate, and each new permutation will mean more news stories and more pleas for national recognition.

MSNBC TV Travolta says ‘Hairspray’ isn't a gay film Plus: Jennifer Lopez wants to put diva reputation behind her Michael Sawyer / AP John Travolta says there's nothing gay about John Waters' cult classic "Hairspray." By By Jeannette Walls MSNBC John Travolta says that gay-rights folks who are looking to boycott “Hairspray” don’t know what they’re talking about. The 1988 version of the film is a cult classic in which late drag queen Divine plays the role that Travolta has in the 2007 flick. “Travolta, a prominent Scientologist, has no business reprising an iconic gay role, given his [religion’s] stance on gay issues,” notes Kevin Naff, managing editor of the Washington Blade, who has been spearheading the call for a boycott. “There is nothing gay in this movie,” Travolta told the London Times on-line. “I’m not playing a gay man.” Besides, the actor insists, Scientology isn’t anti-gay, despite numerous reports that it seeks to “cure” homosexuality. “Scientology is not homophobic in any way,” he said. “In fact it’s one of the more tolerant faiths.

Op-ed JOHN LEWIS At a crossroads on gay unions By John Lewis, 10/25/2003 FROM TIME to time, America comes to a crossroads. With confusion and controversy, it's hard to spot that moment. We need cool heads, warm hearts, and America's core principles to cleanse away the distractions. ADVERTISEMENT We are now at such a crossroads over same-sex couples' freedom to marry. It is time to say forthrightly that the government's exclusion of our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters from civil marriage officially degrades them and their families. It denies them the basic human right to marry the person they love. It denies them numerous legal protections for their families. This discrimination is wrong. We cannot keep turning our backs on gay and lesbian Americans. I have fought too hard and too long against discrimination based on race and color not to stand up against discrimination based on sexual orientation. I've heard the reasons for opposing civil marriage for same-sex couples. Cut through the distractions, and they stink of the same fear, hatred, and intolerance I have known in racism and in bigotry. Some say let's choose another route and give gay folks some legal rights but call it something other than marriage. We have been down that road before in this country. Separate is not equal. The rights to liberty and happiness belong to each of us and on the same terms, without regard to either skin color or sexual orientation.
