Page 1 Consider (02/15)


  • Stop Being Fabulous: Two Christian groups claiming they can help gays "recover from homosexuality" are planning an event in St. Louis later this month. Well, yeah. I'm the first to admit that short-term recovery is possible. You can always get fat, let your chest hair grow back in, let your teeth turn yellow and stop drinking Amstel Light for awhile, but a relapse is inevitable. You'd think Exodus could get their "success story" (right) to at least quit plucking his eyebrows long enough to pose for a headshot. (PinkNews)

  • Awww: Alabama authorities arrested Jason Watkins, 21, on charges of setting an abandoned church on fire but described him as a copycat who is not suspected in a spate of unsolved church burnings in the state. Police said Watkins is mentally handicapped and enjoyed seeing his firefighter brother rush to a fire. (Reuters)

  • Positively Retarded: Zachary Lewis is looking for a date with a "positive attitude." Josh Wolf would like to spend time with someone "polite and friendly." Zaheer Malik wants a girlfriend who is "not too serious and not too silly, but in between." All three are learning about dating and relationships as part of "You and I," a program for young adults who are retarded or autistic or have other mental disabilities. I don't even want to imagine the Speed Dating round. (AP)

  • Accidentally Ate Pork?: The actor Chris Penn's death ruled an accident caused by an enlarged heart and mix of medications. You say enlarged heart, I saw enlarged gut. (Reuters)

  • Stiff Sentence: 12 Arab men were sentenced to five years in the slammer for being 'mos. Would it have been 2 1/2 if they were bi? (GulfTimes)

  • Obese Male Model Needed: Needed for photo shoot. Must be comfortable posing in only underwear. (I'm not comfortable with any of this.) (CraigsList)

    Don't we all want someone who is "not too serious and not too silly, but in between."
