A New Jersey teacher, Viki Knox, was not happy her high school was celebrating October as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender History month.

So she complained about it, on her personal Facebook page. She wrote: homosexuality is a perverted spirit that has existed from the beginning of creation”, and that she was ‘pitching a fit’ about it. Continue reading

Project Runway Season Nine: Go to Your Corner

Hey kids, shake it loose together. It’s the final challenge before the Fashion Week kids are chosen. Are you excited? Are you thrilled? Are you filled with a lingering ennui, one that can’t be shaken no matter how many cigarettes you smoke, drinks you drink, bums you roll in an alley? No? Just me? Well, then, on with the show!

We join Smeagol and Gay Ryan Reynolds in their room at Atlas, where they discuss Miss Bertina. Oh, Miss Bertina, how we mis-judged you, they lament. You should have stayed and Kimberly Goodpants should have left, wails Smeagol. We hardly knew ye, weeps Gay Ryan Reynolds. How sentimental. A quick fade over to the ladeez and it’s all back-slapping and smiles. What is our lesson to learn here? Spoilers and more, after the jump. Continue reading
