Guest / 3:30pm EST - We've been speaking about Pastor Patrick Wooden of the Upper Room Church Of God in Christ in Raleigh, NC over the past few weeks, as he has been getting attention for his attacks against gays, claiming that gay men need "butt plugs" in later ages due to the sexual damage they do to their anuses and that gay men are shoving things like cell phones in their "spinxters." We'll speak with him today about where he gets his information as well as if he feels North Carolina voters will vote to add a marriage amendment to their Constitution.

Guest / 4:30pm EST - As if we haven't had enough of these crazy, Right-wing homophobes on the show this week, we're joined by Rev. O'Neal Dozier of The Worldwide Christian Center and Chairman of Rick Santorum's Florida campaign, who is very Islamiphobic and has made the claim that "gays make God want to vomit." We speak with him today about those issues and what he thinks Santorum's chances are in the up-coming Florida Primary.

Fighting Back Against Bullies

This is a topic we've discussed on the show many times, and I've asked listeners to call in and tell their stories of standing up to their bullies, and I've now written a piece about it at HuffPost GayVoices:

Self-defense doesn't mean hitting anyone who taunts you, nor promoting violence. It does mean standing up to the bullies and saying, 'I'm confident, I'm in control, and I'm not going to take it."

Reach the whole thing and let me know your thoughts.
