A

ROY MOORE BY D’ANNE WITKOWSKI

s of this writing, five women have accused Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore of sexual assault against them when they were as young as 14 years old. Newsflash: A 14-year-old is a child. An eighth grader. When asked, by “journalist” Sean Hannity if he’d really dated young teenagers when he was in his 30s, Moore said, “If I did, I’m not going to dispute these things, but I don’t remember anything like that.” Not exactly an adamant denial. While he does deny the accusations made by the woman who was 14 when he assaulted her, former colleagues of Moore have said it was common knowledge that he used to troll high schools for girls. And so far most Republicans in Alabama are standing by him because everybody knows that sexual assault charges against important and powerful Republicans are FAKE NEWS (after all, look at who is the god damn president).

70 | Hotspots.LGBT

But there’s enough evidence that other Republicans are trying to distance themselves. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a man who should never be forgiven for stealing a Supreme Court seat from President Obama, has called for Moore to step aside. Moore hit back with a Tweet: “The person who should step aside is @SenateMajLdr Mitch McConnell. He has failed conservatives and must be replaced. #DrainTheSwamp.” Is McConnell a failure? Yes. Should he be replaced? For sure. Is he a swamp monster? Yes. But should these things be a consequence of going after Moore? No. Still, let’s not get too excited. McConnell is terrible, but at least he hasn’t been accused of molesting children. Fun fact: Moore’s “DrainTheSwamp” tag makes it look like he’s on Trump’s team, but Trump actually backed his opponent Luther Strange in the primary. DRAMA! Running against Moore, by the way, is Democrat Doug Jones, a former prosecutor


who helped convict KKK members for bombing a Birmingham, Alabama church in 1963, killing four girls. While Moore has hurt children, Jones literally fought for them. Now, if you’ve been following right-wing politics for as long as I have, the name Roy Moore isn’t a new one. He has graced the Creep of the Week column many times over the years. His list of anti-LGBTQ credentials is long. “Homosexual conduct is, and has been, considered abhorrent, immoral, detestable, a crime against nature, and a violation of the laws of nature and of nature’s God upon which this Nation and our laws are predicated,” he wrote while Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court in 2002. “It is an inherent

evil against which children must be protected.” The case before him was a lesbian who wanted custody of her children because her ex-husband abused them. Moore sided with the abuser. In 2003 Moore was booted from the Supreme Court after putting up and refusing to take down a Ten Commandments monument at the courthouse. In 2012 Alabama voters put him back on the bench, and you can kind of guess what Moore’s response was to the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 marriage equality ruling. He was suspended from the bench for banning the issuance of marriage licenses to same-sex couples. “The great sufferers will be the children,” he said of the ruling. Moore was unfit for a Senate seat long before it came out that children were, in fact, suffering HIM. LGBTQ people have had to live under the cloud of the rightwing claim that we’re harmful to children. Moore has been a megaphone for these views for decades now. And now we know why. And yet so poisoned are the minds of Republicans it took child molestation charges for them to back away from Moore. And for many, not even that is enough. And, in the end, the great sufferers will be the children.

NEED WOOD

By Woody Miller

WHAT’S YOUR SIGN?

(NO, REALLY)

y

H

pursuit but one that needs a certain polish in its delivery. A good line is like a well-aimed blowdart. It pierces the sub-conscious to release attitude-blockers, which fade the gay male pretense of being at the bar because the music’s so good. Good-natured laughter is the best way to cut through the fear and anxiety of meeting guys that turn you on. Remember, a dab of lubrication gives you a stab at penetration. If the guy is already interested, you don’t need to come up with something clever because you’re getting laid no matter what drops out of your mouth, unless it’s a purse. The truth is, if someone’s interested in you it doesn’t really matter what you say to him as long as you’re not being an a--hole. Reserve your best pickup lines for the real challenges—guys who haven’t shown interest yet.

Dear Picked: I was sitting in a bar when some hot stud plops down on the seat next to me and says “God, I’m so thirsty I could lick the sweat off a cow’s balls!” I turned and said, “Mooooo!” He about split his jeans laughing, which of course saved me the trouble later on. This was a perfect example of an immutable law in the art of seduction: Make a guy laugh and you’re halfway up his leg. The first step in a manhunt is lulling your prey into a false sense of security. Don’t ever come up to a guy you haven’t met and say “I want to take you home and f--k your brains out.” It may be honest but it’s also a guaranteed way to turn him off. The home/f--k/brains thing is a worthy

Nonoxynol-9 helps protect you from getting pregnant (can you spell i-r-r-e-l-e-v-a-n-t?) but also from catching STD’s if a condom breaks or leaks. The problem is that nonoxynol-9 often causes skin rashes and sores, which can let in viruses like HIV. Unfortunately, there is no other spermicide proven to kill HIV in test tubes like N-9, but scientists are working on it. Meantime, this is one detergent you don’t want your friends telling you “you’re soaking in it.” Dump it—you’re better off without it.

ey Woody! My friends and I were sitting around one day talking about the greatest pickup lines we ever used. One friend was out of town playing pool with a hottie. They were both going for the eight ball, when my friend said “let’s make this interesting. Whoever loses pays for room service when we get back to my hotel room.” One time I saw this guy standing alone against the wall. I asked him what he was up to and he said “Nothing.” So I said “why don’t you come home with me and we’ll do nothing together?” It worked! My question: What’s the greatest line you ever used? — Picked up and over

Hey Woody! What’s the deal with nonoxynol-9? I’ve been using it along with condoms and now I keep hearing they may not be so good at preventing AIDS. — Playing it too safe?
