Best. Gay. Week. Ever. (July 10, 2009)

ASSHAT OF THE WEEK NOMINEES!
In case you missed the results of last week's poll, the "winner" were the idiot police who turned a liquor check in Fort Worth, Texas into a mini-Stonewall. May the shame of wearing the Asshat crown lead to some self reflection on their part. Though I don't have high hopes. 

On to this week's nominees!

(I know the Asshat feature isn't everyone's cup of tea, so again, why not just head on to page four to see who won this week's gay crown?)

1. Bravo

Why? Did you not pay attention to what I said on the first page? And I didn't even getting around to mentioning some of the other crap Bravo has foisted on us the past couple of years. There is the awful Patti "Are you a top?" Stanger from Millionaire Matchmaker, the self-absorbed vapidity of Chad Rogers on Million Dollar Listing, the meanness of Merlin on The Fashion Show and the embarrassment that was Hey, Paula! Boo, Bravo!

2) Michael Nazir-Ali

Why? In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, The Archbishop of Stupidity Rochester, a senior Church of England bishop said: 

The Bible’s teaching shows that marriage is between a man and a woman. That is the way to express our sexual nature. We welcome homosexuals, we don’t want to exclude people, but we want them to repent and be changed. We want to uphold the traditional teaching of the Bible. We believe that God has revealed his purpose about how we are made.

Hmm, I wonder if those traditional teachings include stoning adulterers and slaves obeying their masters? 

Torchwood star John Barrowman shot back, saying Nazir-Ali should "stop talking rubbish." He then locked the Bishop in a room full of Weevils and said "I'm sure there is something in the Bible to justify that!"
