OUT magazine reported that Manhunt.net co-owner Jonathan Crutchley has donated the personal maximum of $2300 to Republican John McCain’s presidential campaign. Crutchley and co-owner Larry Basile bought Manhunt for $800,000 and now make about $2.4 million per month on the membership site designed to help men hook up with men.

Crutchley claims that McCain will be a better Commander-in-Chief than Democrat Barack Obama and he notes that Obama “also opposes gay marriage.”

The title is a quote from another one of my all-time favorite movies (Office Space). My last title “Butch is a Bitch” was from Best in Show. I am so clever sometimes I wish I could date myself. And in fact, maybe someday I could! I’ll just buy myself a little Dee Clone for $1M, which by then (let’s guesstimate 20 years from now), will be equivalent to today’s Ben Franklin. On second thought… Continue Reading »

You know it’s ironic. My older brother is a total hetero-queen. The boots he wears have 3″ heels and he bought them because they click when he walks, he uses a hair iron, he wears ass tight jeans, he L-O-V-E-S fashion, oh, and he loves women. I know, I thought he was gay too, but au contraire. He’s just femme!

Basic Rights Oregon has just learned that the California State Supreme Court has ruled this morning that laws excluding gay and lesbian couples from the right to marry are unconstitutional.

Today’s historic decision in California is a victory for all Americans who cherish fairness and opportunity. While the ruling has no legal impact on Oregonians, we are encouraged by the societal change this represents. This country is steadily moving in the direction of recognizing that every committed couple in a trusting and loving relationship deserves dignity and equal treatment under the law.

California’s High Court did its job today by ensuring that all Californians are treated fairly and equally under the law. Basic Rights Oregon continues to work for a day when all Oregonians are treated just the same under Oregon law.

All eyes are on Oregon as we cast our ballots in the May 20th presidential Primary. (Don’t forget to mail your ballot by Friday, or else you’ll want to drop it off at an official ballot drop site.)

Meanwhile, we’ve told you about dozens of local candidates who deserve your vote. The Basic Rights Equality PAC supports local and statewide candidates who will make a real difference for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Oregonians - and whose races could be decided by just a few hundred votes.

I created a very brief text message on my cell phone that said something like “Happy Mothers Day. Don’t forget to call your Mom today!” Meant to be a mass text message to my friends, I soon found that I faced more than the usual problems in selecting recipients from my contact list.
