I attended a conference on ministry this week that included a session called “Living in the Tension,” which was designed to guide us in ministering to gay peoples. Like most areas of the country, that’s happening here in the Great Northwest on occasion. The discussion reconfirmed a couple truths. First, when people tell you that…
My friend Todd Herman was filling in for Ben Shapiro today on 770 KTTH. He asked me to be his guest. We talked about changing the tone on the gay marriage discussion. For those who have been following askthebigot for a while, there’s not much new here. It was a heavy dose of love-your-gay-neighbor, and…
Pro-choice, eh? Except for those pesky times that someone wants to exercise their freedoms in a way that offends you. Right. Because pro-choice only applies to abortion. So then. During my long morning bath, luxuriating with the New York Times (no Bon Bons, mommas jeans are T I G H T) I happened across the…
Frau M, busybody that she is, was the first to spot her through the window at the McDonalds playland- a 16-20 year old girl with heavy make-up smeared by tears. Our mom radar went into the red as we surveyed the gold-chained, heavily tattooed man seated across from her, easily twice her age decked out…
I was recently unfriended on Facebook. Shocking, I know. It may (or may not) surprise you to hear that it was by one of the most vocal promoters of tolerance and acceptance in my cyber Rolodex. For those of you who don’t already know, the Facebook stages of grief are: disbelief, outrage, snark, questioning and…
I live in The Land of the Left and sometimes it can be scarier than being chased by dinosaurs and stalked by sleestacks. More often though, it is a place where I live by principal and risk being despised by some and misunderstood by many. I live where gay marriage is legal. This raises a fairly…
Men should not have to pay child support if they don’t want to be a father. Each individual man (not the government or politicians) should determine the course of his life. A man has a right to privacy, and a constitutional right to reproductive freedom, so even if he conceives a child he shouldn’t have…
Today Christ-followers celebrate the great swap. The prophets and patriarchs looked forward to it. Today we look back at it. It was the mysterious moment when the living God took his first breath in a plan to rescue His children. The baby was the glorious exchange. He forfeited heavenly attributes, a luxurious home, and the…
Once upon a time there was this ubergay character on the most popular reality TV show of all time named Bill Hobertson. This guy was the quintessential gay man. Such a gay man he was almost a caricature of the Gay Man. On every single episode, Bill and his post-nuclear family were unapologetic about their…
In the comments I’ve made mention of my spry, red-headed editor. But this woman, let’s just call her “Frau M,” deserves some direct recognition. Let me state this plainly- this blog would be b.o.r.i.n.g if I were working alone. This is how it goes with us: I crank out an uber-serious, way-too-heavy post and send…
