The AFA's Ford boycott roundup reads like a great advertisement for Ford's gay-friendly policies. No gay rights group is tracking Ford this closely. The "horrific" gay kiss they link to is laughably tame, and their claims that the boycott hurt Ford's sales are just as ridiculous.

I wrote to the Western Mail to protest Lowri Turner's column arguing gay men are unqualified to lead because they can't have children. Her logic is spurious, her stereotypes offensive, and her claim that "different from the norm" disqualifies anyone from office is dangerous nonsense.

Got into a homophobic confrontation on the night bus home from Popstarz. Four thugs hogging seats, making slurs. I switched seats to help a friend, got physically shoved off. Then, stupidly, mouthed off as I left the bus. Did I bring it on myself? Partly. But I refuse to apologize for existing.

Boxing's pre-fight theatrics are embarrassing enough, but the homophobic trash talk is worse. Not that it matters -- I don't care about boxing anyway.
