In the wake of so much violence, it can be hard to keep things light. But if there’s one thing queers are good at, it’s dark humor.
Mrs. Betty Bowers’ latest parody video poignantly roasts the National Rifle Association and American Christians’ love of guns, pointing out that both Christianity and the NRA have “made fortunes on something that’s wiped out millions.”

For what it’s worth, this did not go out on my “pronoun people” listserv for approval. Also, no self-respecting gay would put those two shades of blue next to each other.
Actually awkward? Ricky Gervais’ obvious obsession with transgender people. Because hate isn’t the the opposite of love, indifference is.
