Dharun Ravi Accused Of Being Gay By Post Columnist Andrea Peyser (In Column About Not Humiliating People Based On Sexual Orientation)

Dharun Ravi was sentenced to 30 days in jail after getting found guilty of charges related to the suicide of 18-year-old Tyler Clementi. As far as we know, Ravi's not gay -- and Andrea Peyser's a hypocrite.
In a column about a Rutgers University student who committed suicide because he was publicly humiliated by his freshman roommate for being gay, New York Post columnist Andrea Peyser publicly humiliates the roommate -- who by all accounts is not gay -- by claiming that he's a "possible closet case."

She then calls Dharun Ravi, the former Rutgers University student who received a slap on the wrist for his involvement in the 2010 suicide death of Tyler Clementi, a "doofus douchebag" before arguing that just about everyone who'd ever met Clementi should be charged with a crime in his suicide.

Clementi, as you probably know, jumped off the George Washington Bridge in September of 2010 after he learned that Ravi had recorded him making out with a man in the dorm room the two shared. The case brought national attention to the issue of cyber-bullying and the struggles of LGBT youth.

Manny Pacquiao's Not As Much Of A Homophobe As 'Examiner' Makes Him Out To Be . "Journalist" Comes Clean

mannypunch.jpg
The media (especially "The Examiner") Owes Manny Pacquiao an apology.

Manny Pacquiao's feeling the heat from the homosexual community over comments he apparently didn't even make.

The "journalist" who published an article that attributed a quote from the Bible calling for the death of homosexuals to Pacquiao has since backed off his claim that Pacquiao's the one who referenced the passage.

Granville Ampong, the "conservative examiner" over at Examiner.com (a news website that lets just about anyone submit articles) now says Pacquiao never referenced the offensive passage taken from Leviticus 20:13, which states that "if a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

But no, it's not Ampong who's to blame for misleading people into thinking Pacquiao referenced the Bible passage (according to him, anyway), it's everyone else in the media (note: prior to publishing anything about Pacquiao, we contacted his representatives four times to give him a chance to explain his quotes in the Examiner article. Nobody got back to us).

Manny Pacquiao's Gay Marriage Stance Is Based On The Same Biblical BS That Inspires The Westboro Baptist Idiots

biblekingjames.jpg
No, I did not write the Bible.
Filipino boxer/congressman/Roman Catholic Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao's idiotic comments about why he opposes gay marriage are based on the same Biblical bullshit that inspires the lunatics at the Westboro Baptist Church to picket funerals. The overall theme: "fags" must die.

If you missed it, in response to President Barack Obama's announcement that he now "personally" supports gay marriage, Pacquiao told the National Conservative Examiner that he doesn't agree with the president. He then cited Leviticus 20:13, telling the publication that "if a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads" (see our post about 10 gays who could kick Manny's ass here).

We'd like to think "Pacman's" a slightly better human being than the WBC bozos, but his comments literally parrot the general message of Fred Phelps and his clan of kooks -- the WBC's web address is www.GodHatesFags.com, just to give you a small example.

Ten Gays Who Could Beat The Crap Out Of Manny Pacquiao

villagepeople.jpg
*UPDATE: since this post was published, the "journalist" who claimed Pacquiao quoted a Bible verse calling for the death of all things homosexual has come clean -- he admits Pacquiao never said it. Get the details here.

As we reported in a previous post, Filipino boxer/congressman/Roman Catholic Manny Pacquiao doesn't agree with President Barack Obama (and the majority of Americans) that gay people should have the right to get married. Not only doesn't Pacquiao agree with Obama, he cites a passage in the bible that says gay people "must be put to death."

There's no question that Pacquiao's a tough little guy. But he's still a little guy (5-foot-6 and 144 pounds) -- and killing off gays one-by-one might be a slightly more difficult task than the feisty Filipino might think.

Despite the stereotypes, there are some pretty tough dudes out there who just happen to prefer a penis -- and could probably kick the shit out of that pipsqueak Pacquiao. We've listed 10 of our favorites below.

The Bible Via-Manny Pacquiao: Gays Shouldn't Get Married, They Should Be "Put To Death"

The gayz have a new enemy -- and he's a 5-foot-6 Filipino who could probably kick your ass.
*UPDATE 2: Since this post was published, the "journalist" who claimed Pacquiao quoted a Bible verse calling for the death of all things homosexual has come clean -- he admits Pacquiao never said it. Get the details here.


*UPDATE* See our list of gay people who could beat the crap out of Pacquiao.


Lovable Filipino boxer/congressman Manny Pacquiao, it turns out, is a bit of a dick.

In response to President Barack Obama's announcement that he's now pro-gay marriage, Pacquiao says he doesn't agree with the president's position and that according to the Bible, homosexuals should be put to death.

In an interview with the National Conservative Examiner, Pacquiao quoted Leviticus 20:13, telling the publication that "if a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

He went on to say that society needs to "put God's word first."

Pacquiao, apparently, missed church the day they explained the "Golden Rule."

(We reached out to Pacquiao to give him a chance to explain his idiotic comments. He hasn't gotten back to us yet. We'll let you know if he does).

Mike Bloomberg Gives North Carolina A Tutorial In How Same-Sex Marriage Won't Lead To The Apocalypse

nccousin.jpg
New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg gave the commencement address at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill yesterday, during which he explained to the audience how same-sex marriage won't instantly lead to the end of moral society as we know it.

Last week, as you may recall, North Carolina voters passed a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage in the state. So, you might think a northern mayor heading south to lecture people on gay marriage wouldn't be met with the warmest reception. You'd be wrong -- the crowd roared when Bloomberg bashed the new law.

Gay-Bashing Massachusetts Macho Man Pleads Guilty To Hate Crime After Attack On Gay Queens Man Backfires

Cristian Flores must have thought he was pretty tough when he and a few of his buddies decided to hassle a gay couple in Queens last year. However, Flores wasn't such a tough guy when one of the gay men tackled him to the ground and held him until police showed up -- and that was only after Flores already had stabbed the gay man.

Now Flores, 28, likely is headed to prison after pleading guilty yesterday to second-degree assault as a hate crime.  

Flores, who's from Boston, has been sitting in jail on $25,000 bond since the August 2011 attack. When he's sentenced later this month, Queens Supreme Court Justice Steven W. Paynter indicated that he'll likely sentence Flores to three-and-a-half years in prison.

Calling Gay People "Cupcake" Is Offensive -- As MTA's Learning The Hard (Litigious) Way *UPDATED*

www.yvpc.edu
*UPDATE: Click here to see MTA's response to Jenkins' allegations.

Reginald Jenkins, a former coach cleaner for the Metro-North Railroad, is described by his attorney as a "proud gay man." So, when he claims some of his co-workers started shouting "kill them faggots dead" while shuttling people to and from last year's Gay Pride Parade, he didn't find it nearly as amusing as some of his colleagues. When his foreman allegedly spent the rest of that day calling him "cupcake," Jenkins claims he became "physically ill" from the stress it caused.

"It was extremely disconcerting to be surrounded by co-workers yelling about killing gay people," Jenkins says. "I am proud of who I am, but I know how hostile people can be. It was one of the most difficult things I've ever done to experience this and feel like it was to dangerous to speak up."

Jenkins has since spoken up -- he's currently suing the MTA for $1.5 million.

Same-Sex Marriage Contributed 200K to City Coffers: Report

220px-Cakeinwhitesatin-1.jpg
New York City made quite a bit of money on gay marriage -- 200,000 bucks, in fact.

Cash flow into the city's marriage bureau shot up since August, when same-sex nups got enacted, according to the New York Post.

The office took in $2.26 million -- up from $2 million during that same period in 2010, the newspaper reports.

From July 24, 2010, to February 22, 2011 -- the city clerk's measurement period -- New York issued 36,913 marriage licenses.

Did Matt Heinz, the Openly Gay Democrat Running for Gabby Giffords's Seat, Have a Three-Way With Sheriff Paul Babeu? We Ask Him on Facebook.

Heinz For Congress/Facebook
Our colleagues at the Phoenix New Times had the story of the holiday weekend for anyone interested in Republicans, homopolitics, outing, immigration, and other sundry subjects we love to write about. Monica Alonzo's gripping tale of how Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu allegedly threatened his Mexican ex-boyfriend "Jose" with deportation if he didn't keep his mouth as tightly sealed about their relationship as the Tea Party wishes the border was led to Babeu outing himself and resigning from the Romney campaign.

Democrats and gay activists laughed at the hypocrisy of gay Babeu supporting a party and candidates that consistently deny LGBT Americans like him access to equal rights under civil law. The schadenfreude about Babeu in our twitter stream was as heavy-handed as the way Babeu was fondling "Jose's" right pec inside his shirt.

But just a few paragraphs from the end of Alonzo's story was this gem (h/t to Joe My God for pointing this out), which could provide a lot of gay drama for a Democrat in what will surely be one of the most watched congressional races in the country this fall:
