This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: Earlier this month, a North Carolina pastor suggested rounding up gays and lesbians and starving them to death.
Just yesterday, an audio file of a Kansas pastor saying the government should kill gays made the rounds.
Now, we are confronted with perhaps the most egregious homophobic offense in recent weeks — a youngster at Apostolic Truth Tabernacle in Greensburg, Indiana,belted out “Ain’t No Homos Gonna Make It To Heaven,” and the congregation rewarded him with a standing ovation.

Holy krackles, that’s the stuff.
This is mind-blowing stuff, even now. There’s a reason that Stan was just The Man and Kirby was The King.

Comic Book Boycott of the Day: Conservative group One Million Moms is at it again, directing its not-quite-a-million members to boycott Marvel and DC Comics due to recent announcements from both companies about their futures of their gay characters.
DC has revealed that a major character is soon going to come out as gay, while Marvel announced the engagement of superhero Northstar to his boyfriend, Kyle.
These events don’t sit will with One Million Moms, whose anti-gay agenda has also led them to protest the wedding of Archie Comics’ first gay character, Kevin Keller.
“Children desire to be just like superheroes,” said the group in a statement. “Children mimic superhero actions and even dress up in costumes to resemble these characters as much as possible. Can you imagine little boys saying, ‘I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men?’”
The statement goes on to accuse the publishers of trying to “indoctrate [sic] impressionable young minds.”
Marvel and DC have yet to respond to the homophobic comments.

Every time the One Million Moms call for a boycott of a comic, it delights me. Why? Because they are essentially broadcasting, louder than the publisher ever could, that “THIS COMIC IS REALLY IMPORTANT”!!!
Seriously, Stan the Man himself would be proud of the huxstering and aggrandizing OMM is doing FOR FREE for the upcoming issues. Can the subtitle of the issue be “TOGETHER AGAIN, FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!”?](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4jy0xRyON1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)

Why would musical theater be the only culture that resists newness? It doesn’t make sense. Bands become successes on tumblr. Where’s the tumblr of musical theater? [The problem is] older people are willing to pay for it, and they’re the same audience that’s not going to want something new. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. I’d rather go see our future than most musicals. The theater is simply not democratized in any way, and other art forms are.

Thinkin' 'bout Inkin' (with David McGuire): Greg Rucka rips Hollywood and Comics a New One
The folks over at Comicbook interviewed Greg Rucka where he discusses the treatment of women by Hollywood and DC Comics. Rucka’s discussion of Hollywood comes in reference to the development of his Queen and Country for the big screen. That discussion, as you’ll see,…
Jesus, Greg Rucka is smart. Go read something a smart guy said for a chance.

Denis Medri returns to take a look at the rogues of Gotham and more of Batman’s supporting. Catwoman, Joker, Poison Ivy and Bane join Batgirl, James Gordon and Alfred in round out this amazing collection of Rockabilly gothamites. It’s interesting to note that reimagining Catwoman for the 1950s brings her costume full circle, close to her original suit from the 1940s.
I’ve commented/reblogged this almost every day this week. It’s insanely good.

In Case You Missed It of the Day: Special Prosecutor Angela Corey on Thursday released several videos, crime scene photos, witness interviews, the autopsy report, and more documents relating to the February 26 shooting death of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman, and the new evidence begs the question: Can you “stand your ground” if you were the instigator?
Police reports written that night make it pretty clear Zimmerman took a beating — they say he had a bloody face and nose, and bleeding to the back of his head. The reports also include two witness accounts that back up Zimmerman’s version of events, describing a man on his back with another person wearing a hoodie straddling him and throwing punches.
Officer Christopher Serino, the lead investigator on the case, wrote that Zimmerman could be heard “yelling for help as he was being battered by Trayvon Martin.”
Still, one investigator concluded: “The encounter between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin was ultimately avoidable by Zimmerman, if Zimmerman had remained in his vehicle and awaited the arrival of law enforcement.”
[hypervocal]
Please. Please don’t do this. Please don’t turn off the logic centers of your brain because you see some blood. Zimmerman was always the aggressor here. He followed Trayvon home. He approached him and assaulted him. Trayvon fought back. Zimmerman is lucky he only got a bloody nose. I’d attempt to beat seven shades of shit out of someone assaulting me, if only to incapacitate them long enough to get to safety.Racist thugs like Zimmerman are the worst type of trash. A bloody nose and a few scratches aren’t a bad trade off for murdering someone.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m48bpblGjK1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)

Mitt Romney, from his Cranbrook senior yearbook: “Give a guy enough rope and he’ll hang himself.”
i hate that just by looking at him you can tell that Mittler was a fucking righteous dick head in college.
like not even just a regular asshole, but like the kind of creep that they use as antagonists in movies about private schools in the 60s.
like the lets throw footballs at the geeks kind of dick head.
like revenge of the nerds shit.
prick.
Mitt Romney is a total 80s douchebag jock name. It’s like “Biff Bradley”. That’s the dude who beats up Marty McFly, not our next president. #Obama20Does
