The AggreGAYtor: November 12

Allen West refuses to give in, Elton John adds to his collection, and Queen Latifah may be ready to divulge her secrets. In a 90’s kind of world, today’s AggreGAYtor is glad its got my girls.

• Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga promises passage of the “kill the gays” bill by December as a “Christmas gift” to Ugandan Christians.

• It is worth mentioning again that the American religious right is complicit in anti-LGBT sentiment in Africa, sentiment carried to bloody extremes on a weekly basis.

• French mayor cancels same-sex wedding after being threatened with violence.

• It’s good to see Christians and Muslims uniting together for comm…wait, that’s not good at all.

• Never ones to miss a trend, Madonna fan club president Elton John and hubbie David Furnish are having another baby.

• Florida teacher is investigated for turning student into a lesbian. Assumedly the teacher did so by showing her photographs of Megan Rapinoe, Queerlandia’s Minister of Conversion.

• I hope the reports that Queen Latifah plans to come out on her talk show are true. I also hope that she does it by reworking the lyrics to the “Living Single” theme, but that seems far more unlikely.
