Enough: Scott Brown and the Betrayal of the LGBT Left

The schadenfreude surrounding Scott Brown’s Massachusetts Senate win is the final confirmation of the current LGBT leadership’s betrayal of 50 years of progressive politics. It began within minutes of Coakley’s concession speech: A volley of “I told you sos” by her haughty Carolina highness, Pam Spaulding. Mock-shock and caustic concern from the dirt-dishers over at Queerty. Dispassionate dispatches from those “just-the-facters” Towleroad, Joe.My.God and the AMERICAblog. And finally — a muddled, misanthropic, self-serving and — obvi! — Obama-bashing brief from David Mixner.

That Brown won should have come of little surprise to these LGBT “leaders” or their devoted fan base. After all, Spaulding, Queerty, Mixner and Co. practically cheer-led the former Cosmo-hunk to this critical triumph. Having officially turned on their president, these netrooters have conceded the greater good for their own shortsighted image-inflating. Well aware of the monumental consequences of a Republican win, Gay-stream media nevertheless continued their Dem-dissing and Obama-bashing with little concern for its election-day implications.

Why Won’t Project Runway (Or Lifetime) Show Gay Romancing?

From Queerty:

Project Runway is a gay show that moved from one gay network to another and appeals to a gay audience and includes scores of gay characters. So how come it’s so afraid of gay love?

It was no web secret that, during Season 5, designers Wesley Nault and Daniel Feld enjoyed each other’s company more than most. They held hands during the runway shows, flirted in the sewing room, and even exchanged notes when Feld was voted off — against the show’s policy. The duo are still dating, living and working together; they started their own fashion line called WesFeld.

And yet Project Runway edited the season to remove any notion of a romance.

B.C. (Before Cosmo) History of the Gay Cocktail

Oh sure, gays were getting drunk long before the Cosmo came to town, but it’s remembered now as a shadowy world of light beers, wine coolers, Cape Cods, Long Island Iced Teas and other seashore-related libations. People drank and certain drinks were more popular than others, but the idea that everyone just had to be drinking the same thing was unheard of. Early gays did not yet know the unifying power of a single cocktail and so, like hunter-gatherers, each found his own respective drink, rarely holding much allegiance one way or another, unaware that just beyond the horizon a new sunset beckoned.
