LaBarbara displayed this pic of Chelsea Clinton at the tres gay Red Dress party from Willamette Week, apparently to shock his readers. After all, his readers might not realize that they could do that with plastic. The single-issue anti-gay activist Peter LaBarbara is notorious for over-the-top reactions to anything gay. Those who have the good fortune of not recognizing the name might (if you dare) check out the great coverage of his rants from the wonderful Good As You (G.A.Y.) blog . Suffice it to say, however, that LaBarbara seems to have a hair-trigger rant-switch, which makes him an effective...

Hutch: Qblog , Qnews King shooting Ken Hutcherson has asked his "Prayer Warriors" to join him on April 25 as he stages a protest of the Day of Silence observance at Mount Si High School.

King shooting Kern's anti-gay rant Proof that we don't have to go as far as Oklahoma, home to YouTube phenom bigot Sally Kern , to find a ferociously anti-gay state legislator comes in the form of what Portland's gay paper, Just Out , rightly calls an "explosive interview" with the state senator sponsoring an anti-gay initiative. Senator Gary George and State Representative Kim Thatcher have filed an initiative to reverse the recently enacted Oregon Equality Act -- an anti-discrimination law for sexual minorities -- and allow discrimination against gay people. The measure...

Hutch: Qblog , Qnews Really, when you think about it, you've gotta have a bit of sympathy for Redmond's anti-gay preacher Ken Hutcherson. He competes for attention in a crowded field of anti-gay ministers and doesn't seem to make much headway. Despite his constant appeals for media attention, he couldn't even make it onto Queerty 's list of top-20 anti-gay activists . For weeks now, he's been hinting on his "Prayer Warriors" mailing list that he was about to make a big splash with a program to target companies that offer employment equality to their LGB workers...

It strikes us as strange that events way off in those little Baltic states of Europe can take on local significance, but with a homophobic preacher like Ken Hutcherson in our back yard, what happens there does indeed affect those of us here who care in some way about LGBTQ rights. We saw that last week when Hutcherson and his partners tried to bring to Lynnwood a group of like-minded homophobes. One of the invited guests of the conference (and we're not sure if he made it) was the Russian-speaking preacher Alexey Ledyaev who operates New Generation Church in Riga, Latvia. And that brings us...

UK Gay News is a website that has -- along with its wonderfully inclusive daily summery of gay-related news stories -- done more than any other to recount the frightening flowering of often-violent homophobia that has accompanied the re-emergence of religious institutions in the countries of the former Soviet bloc. This week, their focus turned slightly to the west as Eastern European homophobes prepare to meet with some of their American fellow-travelers in Lynnwood. UK Gay News combines a summary of the week's developments here with one of those lessons in Latvian politics that has become...

In its weekend editions, The Herald (Everett) has a thorough and informative story by Jackson Holz on this week's anti-gay conference in Lynnwood. (The link comes to us via Orcinus blog that has been closely following developments with the conference hosted by virulently anti-gay group Watchmen on the Walls.) The chairman of the quasi-public group responsible for booking the center refused to admit to the Herald's Holz there is anything untoward about this group. "Our understanding is that they're law-abiding. They have a right of free speech just like any other group," said...

We suspect that Pastor Hutch will be sending out a missive to his "Prayer Warriors" asking them to intercede on his behalf because he's been left off of Part 1 of a list compiled by widely-read blog, Queerty , of the " 20 most frightful anti-gay activists ." Hutcherson, after all, appears to consider himself to be a major player in this hate game and would probably be offended not to be given 'props' in such a list. But you've gotta hand it to the Redmond preacher, he's doing his best to get his name into the top of any future collection of that sort. He's...

David Schmader at Slog has the CYA memo issued by Lynnwood's mayor about the Watchmen event being held this weekend at the city's convention center. The mayor takes pains to point out that his city doesn't have anything to do with scheduling events at the Convention Center. • The City of Lynnwood does not make decisions as to who rents or uses the convention center. • The City of Lynnwood did not have advance knowledge, nor has it "approved," nor does it support, nor is it "hosting," the "Watchmen on the Wall" Event. But first -- and just in case the not...
