Disturbing video of a woman on a London Underground verbally assaulting a man “because he is gay” has been making the rounds online. The incident happened Monday at around 5:30 a.m. at the start of the morning rush hour. The clip was submitted to MailOnline by an anonymous tipster and shows the woman screaming homophobic abuse at a male passenger. “Because you’re gay, even more I’m going to violate you!” the women, who appears to be intoxicated, shouts in the man’s face. When...

Amer Alhaggagi was a young, aspiring terrorist in Oakland, California with dreams of blowing up a San Francisco gay bar, selling cocaine mixed with strychnine (rat poison), starting a massive hill fire to destroy homes and blowing up the UC Berkley dorms with backpack bombs. “I’d like to kill the students,” he says to an undercover FBI agent on a recently released tape. “I’ve been so excited about it. I’ve been hyped up.” Then he laughs. In July, the 23-year-old pleaded...

They’re baaaack! After taking some time off to promote their crappy amateur baseball memoir, the Benham Brothers are back to writing scathing antigay op-eds for World Net Daily. Their latest one is all about the three stages of today’s “radical sexual revolution,” otherwise known as the gay agenda. “The three stages of today’s radical sexual revolution are as follows: Marginalize, demonize and criminalize,” the brothers boldly state in the opening of their new think-piece. What follows next are several more paragraphs of completely...

Another day, another antigay pastor caught up in a prostitution scandal. This time it’s 41-year-old Edward Ignacio Espinosa, who just stepped down from his position as community outreach pastor at Antioch Community Church in Waco, TX after being arrested for allegedly soliciting sex at a local massage parlor. The Waco Tribune-Herald reports: Espinosa’s charge stems from a massage parlor targeted by undercover McLennan County Sheriff’s Office investigators last year. Hundreds of men engaged in prostitution at two massage parlors in Waco between...

Marriage equality has been the law of the land for almost two years, but not everyone is ready to accept settled law. One man, Chris Sevier, has been trying to defeat same-sex marriage with an ongoing campaign to try to marry his laptop. In the latest development, the Utah Attorney General’s Office was forced to state in a new court ruling that there is no constitutional right to marry a laptop, KSTU-TV reports. Lawyers for the state asked a federal judge...

A Queerty reader has directed us to a video of a teen expressing his severe homophobia, and we feel it deserves to be seen. We must warn you that he uses highly offensive language, and if you’re sensitive to hate speech, you may want to move on. While antigay hostility on high school campuses (or anywhere else for that matter) isn’t much by the way of news, the willingness of bigots to wear their ignorance on their sleeves has become noticeably more...

Ellen Page spent the weekend not taking any crap, thank you very much. A new video shows her confronting a crazy street preacher somewhere in DC. At first, the preacher rants about demons, while Ellen simply nods in annoyance. In the background, a woman screams at someone else — what a fun little gathering! — and then Ellen’s had enough. “You’re wrong,” she says. “Look, we’re not going to get anywhere and you’re doing to believe this your whole life. I feel for you...

Mike Pence is set to become the most antigay incoming Vice President in modern history, and according to WJLA, his new D.C. neighbors aren’t so keen on having a known homophobe on their block. Ilse Heintzen lives just down the block from the house where Pence is currently staying as he waits to move into the Vice President’s mansion on the grounds of the Naval Observatory. After learning Pence was moving to the neighborhood, she and some of her neighbors...

Sweet Cakes by Melissa refused to bake a cake for a lesbian couple and found themselves at the center of a media storm. Three years later, the bakery is closed. Aaron and Melissa Klein abruptly announced the closure of their Gresham, Ore., bakery three and a half years after they ignited a firestorm by proudly refusing service to a same-sex couple. Rachel and Laurel Bowman-Cryer were denied a wedding cake from the Kleins, who claimed their "religious freedom" allowed them to...

Donald Trump‘s new campaign manager Stephen Bannon is the chairman of Breitbart Media, which runs Breitbart.com, which he himself calls the “platform for the alt-right.” What that means, exactly, seems to be open to interpretation. One thing that is not in dispute is their utter distaste for what they consider political correctness. This often drifts into anti-immigrant, anti-feminist, antigay rhetoric, all with a casual relationship to facts and evidence. While their antigay rhetoric may pale in comparison to some of the vile...

Filmmaker Tyler Perry has added his voice to those of other Hollywood figures urging Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal to veto the state’s antigay “religious liberty” bill. “At Tyler Perry Studios, we believe in inclusion and equality for all people,” a Perry spokeswoman told Variety in an article published Friday. “We do not tolerate bigotry, division, and discrimination. We have tremendous confidence in Governor Deal’s leadership and ability to continue to lead our great state forward and urge him to veto...
