Ditch the racist, homophobic, creationist, climate change-denying dominionists: inclusive, secular conservatism is the only option for Grand Old Party, says Adrian Tippetts

The US presidential election was not so much an endorsement of Obama as a verdict on the Republican Party. Given the dire economic circumstances, any challenger would have strolled into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. They even outspent the Democrats on their presidential campaign by a factor of 3.5 to one. The recriminations and post mortems are in full swing. At least Newt Gingrich has the honesty to admit being ‘far off’ wrong.

The Chick-fil-A chain has been at the center of a heated debate ever since its top executive went on the record to say he was against gay marriage.

Gay marriage opponents like Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin have rallied to the Atlanta-based chain's defense who marriage equality advocates have spoken out, tweeted and protested.

Barack Obama impersonator 'marries' right-wing politicians including Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin

A Barack Obama impersonator has ‘married’ lookalikes of Mitt Romney and Donald Trump for a new marriage equality campaign.

The adverts also show lookalikes of far-right politicians Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin tying the knot.

The humor may have been lost on some people, as the campaign was banned in California and other states in the US.

Greg Hodge, CEO of Beautiful People, told Gay Star News that as long as all of his members cannot enjoy the same benefits and recognition of their fellow citizens, he will be campaigning for marriage equality.

According to Right Wing Watch, Phillips said: ‘The left’s definition of equality is to allow anyone and anything to marry.

In the second of a two part piece on gay San Francisco, we explain lowdown what to see, where to see it and how to get around

If I could relocate anywhere tomorrow, it would be San Francisco. I fell in love with the beautiful Bohemian city by the bay as a teenager and find myself drawn back there again and again.

Make sure your location is central. We use the Personality Hotels Collection based around Union Square and have stayed at Hotel Diva, Kensington Park and Hotel Union Square during past visits. All warm, friendly and fun, I am particularly a sucker for their complimentary Jelly Belly Jelly Beans (a San Fran delicacy…)
