At first, the story of Chris Sevier seems innocent enough. Man gets addicted to porn, tries to marry his computer, fails, lives in unwed bliss instead. Romantic! Even if the lawfully wedded part didn’t work out. Then you get to the part where Sevier calls himself “patriot with standing,” and things start to feel icky. […]
The Oxford American Dictionary defines marriage as “the formal union of a man and woman by which they become husband and wife,” which, in 2013, is starting to look more than a little dated.

Harlem’s Chipped Cup coffee house proudly displayed the above sandwich board yesterday, signaling their support for marriage equality in the face of the Supreme Court’s hearings on DOMA this week (just like Willie Nelson did).When they posted a photo of the sign to Facebook, one former patron got all upset, telling the cafe’s owners to […]
Christine Quinn wants the only Chick-fil-A in the five boroughs to leave. Following Boston Mayor Thomas Menino’s vitriolic un-wecloming of the chicken chain (which he’s half-assedly backpedaled from; lame!), the NYC council speaker launched a petition last Saturday declaring the chain “not welcome in the city, as long as the fast food chain’s leaders continue […]
