Target is removing certain items from its stores and making other changes to its LGBTQ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month, after an intense backlash from some customers including violent confrontations with its workers.
Target Chairman Fred Tarjay said, “If you want LGBTQ merch back in our stores, you’ll just have to man up and assault some of our employees.”

We thought that Clark Rockefeller was safely under lock and key at
San Quentin State Prison but he had us fooled. For the last few years he’s been gallivanting around Queens and Nassau County doing who-knows-what. But in 2020, he ran for Congress under his George Santos moniker, losing to incumbent Tom Suozzi. Two years later, Santos knocked off Democratic candidate Robert Zimmerman by a healthy 54.1% to 45.9% margin.
Here at BiteMe, we predict great things for freshman Congressman Rockefeller in the Republican-majority 118th Congress. Go get ’em, Clark!
I was wondering when this would happen. Also wondering if the jack-booted-thugs of the government will come to take away their guns.

On her radio show, Dr Laura Schlessinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet. It’s funny, as well as informative:
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination . End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God’s Laws and how to follow them.
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I’m confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.
Your adoring fan,
James M. Kauffman, Ed.D. Professor Emeritus, Dept. Of Curriculum,
Instruction, and Special Education University of Virginia

The Bitemaster takes both religion and Bible seriously and notes that male homosexuality is a sin the Bible, fully equal to Sabbath violation and adultery. But lesbianism isn’t mentioned at all. So, to those who pick and choose which sins to use to attack others — Bite Me!

The Roanoke Times has endorsed North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R) for re-election because his anti-LGBTQ law, HB 2, is driving business out of his state and into Virginia.
Which candidate would do the most to help our local economy? That’s easy. It’s Pat McCrory, the Republican governor of North Carolina. . . North Carolina panicked and made a spectacle of itself by passing HB 2, its so-called ‘bathroom bill.’ In response, various companies and even sports leagues pulled events from the state. Three of those have wound up in Salem ― the NCAA Division III men’s and women’s soccer championships, as well as the Division II Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association football championship. That’s money in the bank for us.

In the days after the Orlando nightclub massacre, one county worker in Florida said she didn’t feel safe at work — because of a pride flag.
This actually raises an interesting question: What makes for a “hostile work environment”? Is there an objective standard? Is it whatever makes an employee uncomfortable? Maybe Kevin Underhill will supply an answer.

When a bunch of men’s rights activists apply to march in a gay pride parade, everyone gets all hot and bothered.
The men’s rights group, CAFE (Canadian Association for Equality), says “The values of Pride are inclusion and diversity, and those are our values.”
The Bitemaster — who has personally marched in a pride parade — has little patience for political orthodoxy and has no more problem with these guys marching in a pride parade, than with gays who want to march in a St. Patrick’s Day parade.
“What about the Klan? Should they be allowed in a pride parade?” Sure, as long as they’re wearing rainbow-colored robes.

A group of students at McGuffey High School in Claysville, PA, held an “Anti-Gay Day” protest at school, apparently in response to the “Day of Silence” sponsored by the school’s Gay-Straight Alliance.
The anti-gays wore flannel shirts and wrote “anti-gay” and drew crosses on the backs of their hands. That seems like protected speech to me.
But there are also claims that intimidating flyers were put on the lockers of gay students and that someone circulated a “lynch list” (whatever that means). That strikes me as bordering on assault.
Everybody seems to be joining the fray, from Sue Kerr of the Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents to Tim Wildmon of the American Family Association. And so has your Bitemaster.

“I know that there are thousands and thousands of gay people marching in this parade,” Cardinal Dolan said last year. “And I’m glad they are.” Yesterday he released a statement saying the parade organizers have his “confidence and support.”
We can only hope that the gays who wanted to march in honor of St. Patrick will also show up for Mass.
