The Ring-A-Ding: Republicans Making A Gay Fuss, Driver Won't Get On The Gay Bus, Congressional Husband Left In the Dust

Well, the time for reckoning is at hand. It seems the Republican Party can not please any of its base. Now the Christian Right is upset that perhaps those closeted gays in the GOP may have undermined their political agenda. Some Christians, who are pivotal to the GOP's get-out-the-vote effort, are charging that gay Republican staffers in Congress may have thwarted their legislative agenda. There even are calls for what some have dubbed a "pink purge" of high-ranking gay Republicans on Capitol Hill and in the administration. That's' right, it appears as if The Operator and The Christians finally have something in common- we both want to know who the queers on the hill are.

File this in the "stupid people have nothing else to complain about category." A bus driver who says homosexuality is against her religion will be allowed to refuse to get behind the wheel of vehicles displaying gay ads. We love how these "religious" people think that because something is against their religion they should continue on in the world like it doesn't exist. We at The Operator have created a religion and now some changes must be made. It is against our religion to work in an office full of ugly women. Therefore our business must pay us to work from home and be surrounded by hot men.

Former congressman Gerry Studds's passed away last week. While his passing will be hard enough for his family to handle now we are learning that his legally recognized husband, Dean Hara, will not receive any of his spouse's benefits. When same-sex marriage became legal in Massachusetts, among those who tied the knot were former congressman Gerry Studds and Dean Hara. But getting married didn't protect them under federal law: Hara has learned he is not eligible for any portion of Studds's estimated annual $114,337 congressional pension following his partner's death last week
