A text message thread from Ratner has recently surfaced in which he breaks the bad news.

This talking teddy bear sounds an awful lot like a certain homophobic GOP presidential candidate.

Perhaps if Rick Santorum donned a giant teddy bear outfit, it would help his dismal poll numbers*, and he wouldn’t have to take unseemly swipes at his fellow Republican nominees.

At the very least, it would make him seem slightly more cuddly than the Rick Santorum who shouted down a Penn State student to make a spurious point about gay rights back in August.

In this unaired footage from CNN, former Pennsylvania Senator and 2012 presidential pipe dream Rick Santorum has a change of heart regarding the civil rights of homosexuals in the United States.

This stunning mea culpa comes on the heels of countless anti-gay comments, which earned Senator Santorum his frothy nickname.

No word yet as to the cause of Senator Santorum’s attitude shift regarding gay Americans, but it may have had something to do with this.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife Lynne appeared on The View this morning and voiced their full, unqualified support of gay marriage.

Lynne Cheney spoke of their lesbian daughter Mary, her partner Heather and their two children, saying, “Whatever Mary and Heather decide to do is up to Mary and Heather.”

When asked if he agreed with his wife’s stance on gay marriage, Dick replied, “I think freedom means freedom for everybody. And you ought to have the right to make whatever choice you want to make with respect to your own personal situation...

Religious extremists are nothing if not predictable. After every natural disaster, they unwrap themselves from their cocoon of self-righteousness, crawl out of their dank caves, shield their eyes from the sun, and use the event as a cudgel against whichever pet causes they happen to be championing at the moment.

In past centuries, it was witchcraft, bare lady-ankles, and Protestantism (or Catholicism, depending on which inbred, superstitious monarch was in power at the time). Now it’s mostly the gays, with a little abortion thrown in for good measure. But mostly the gays. Strange that God would threaten millions of lives by causing a drought in Uganda, as the Ugandan parliament is determined to kill their homosexual population, which should cause God to rain down tears of joy on Uganda’s withering crops. But that’s Africa, which isn’t blessed by God, so fuck them, right?

After yesterday’s rare East Coast earthquake, Joseph Farah of Armageddon-themed masturbatory fantasy website WND wrote a column detailing how “occasionally God really does shake things up as a sign to us of the consequences of disobedience and indifference to our Creator,” completely undeterred by the fact that the Twittersphere beat him to his own punch line by several hours....

Pacing back and forth underneath the flashing, multi-colored spotlights of a Christian youth conference in Alabama, this unnamed preacher worked the crowd of over-excitable tweens into a frenzy with a rant about the “lie of homosexuality.”

“I’d like to end the gay issue in America by so many homosexuals getting radically delivered from the demonic lie that you’re gonna be happy when you come out of the closet,” snarled the tattooed* preacher to a roomful of impressionable kids, which is pretty irresponsible, but also…pretty cruel.

“You’re not happy. But you can be. Give it to Jesus. He’ll take away the sin and stain,” continued the preacher, apparently not referring to the giant armpit sweat stain on his shirt.

Granted, we can’t go the whole day without a healthy dose of snark, but at least this one post is going to be 100% snark-free.

In a post titled “Mommy, they are just like me,” an awesome mother recounts her six-year-old son’s crush on Blaine, the openly gay gay character from Glee:

 

My oldest son is six years old and in love for the first time. He is in love with Blaine from Glee.

For those who don’t know Blaine is a boy…a gay boy, the boyfriend of one of the main characters, Kurt...
