Lesbian

In Australia, lesbians are neither gay nor people?

From the department of "Things that make you go hmmmm" comes this doozie :

Gay Aussie hotel wins right to ban heterosexuals, lesbians
The Peel Hotel in Melbourne won an exemption from the Equal Opportunity Act to prevent insults and abuse directed toward gays in its bars and nightclubs, owner Tom McFeely told AFP.

"The hotel predominantly markets itself towards homosexual males, towards gay men and we want to protect the integrity of the venue as well as continue to make the men feel comfortable," McFeely said.

"When large numbers of heterosexuals or even lesbians are in the hotel that changes the atmosphere and many gay men can feel uncomfortable."

I would love it if this where a joke given the owner's last name is one McFeely and all I think of him being the insensitive evil twin of Grey Anatomy's McDreamy, but no ... 'tis true.

Goes to show women end up being second class citizens even within marginalized communities.

Compassionate Michelle Malkin chooses hard-core porn star and male prostitute over feminist bloggers


Not only that, Matt Sanchez, who also worked as a male prostitute, claims to be "bad at being gay".

Towelroad has the whole story. And, get this, Pat at Towelrod met him 18 years ago --as a gay man.

Could he have gone to the same rehab center as Ted Haggard?

Anyhow, this is the drivel Michelle Malkin posted about the 'situation':

Last night, hate-filled liberals on MSNBC attemped to smear Marine Corporal Matt Sanchez and conservatives who honored him at CPAC for his support of the military at Columbia University. They gleefully showed photos of Cpl. Sanchez at the event--including ones I took--in mockery after his gay porn past was outed by left-wing blogs. They cackled "Semper Fi."

I said the other day I thought CPAC organizers would be justified in being embarrassed if the rumors about Sanchez's porn star past 15 years ago turned out to be true. Well, the rumors are true. But it is neither CPAC nor Cpl. Sanchez who should feel embarrassed.

Wow! Sister is so compassionate. I had no idea given all the digital ink she wasted in calling Amanda Marcotte a nut during her Christian League vs. Edwards Bloggers debacle.
