'Religious right can't get rid of discredited researcher' and other Thursday midday news briefs

Family Research Institute: 'Where Gays Cluster, Boys Suffer' - Once upon a time, boys and girls, Paul Cameron was the toast of the religious right. They used his discredited work to prove the case against lgbtq equality until we got savvy enough to point out his myriad of errors. Now the religious right avoid him like the plague. Only he refuses to go away, which is good for us.

My, my, my. The haters of sexual minorities are calling a boycott against Girl Scout Cookies.
I perpetually fight the Battle of the Bulge, but I am prepared to buy plenty of Girl Scout Cookies in the name of human rights for all. (Wow, I wish all my rationalizations were this easy, satisfying, and delicious.)

i have had heard about the boycotting of girl scout cookies because of accepting transgender kids. it's ridiculous, transgender kids are not someone to be afraid of. i may encourage people to buy the cookies, but i won't because i'm dirt poor.
