Welcome Baby Cambridge

It’s a boy! Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and husband Prince William on Monday welcomed their first child.
The baby boy was born at 4:24 p.m., weighing 8 pounds, 6 ounces. A name has not yet been announced for the child, who is now third in line to the throne.

“Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well,” read an official announcement that was placed outside Buckingham Palace.

Welcome, Baby Cambridge. It’s quite a different world than the one your great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, entered. And when you gain your throne, should the monarchy continue ’til then, we cannot begin to guess what challenges or triumphs will face you and this world you have just met.

Baby Cambridge??? C’mon you can do better than that.

Let’s have a name competition! Perhaps a gender ambiguous name . . .

Terry Madison

Or names from British situation comedies . . .

Basil Humphries

Or from recent popular English literature . . .

Rowling Potter

And his last name is Windsor, for he is from the house and lineage of Windsor.

At the risk of being a total dick, I’ll say two things:

1) a wealthy powerless monarch doesn’t face many obstacles except those which threaten to encourage a population to end the monarchy.

2) i’m unclear why we’re posting for the British Royal family, when I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen birth announcements for any other European royal house, let alone any royal house from Asia

Granted, it’s nice and topical, but the posting seems grossly out of place.

Nothing against the baby, but the idea that some people are born superior to others is super-creepy.

If I were a betting man, the newest Windsor won’t have to worry about his coronation until 2093! Great-grandmom has another 20 years in her, Grandad 20, and Dear Old Dad could well be in his 90s before he dodders along to get his crown (and that’s assuming the Medical-Industrial Complex doesn’t deliver on their threat to extend lifetimes to 150!). Of course, Westminster Abbey will be in 10 feet of water by 2093…

What a non-news story – it has happened a few times before, like to ALL of us!

Gee, I was going to congratulate you for making a kind, thoughtful post.

What Are Little Boys Made Of?

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.

Slouching Towards Kampala: Uganda’s Deadly Embrace of Hate

When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.

Paul Cameron’s World

In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.

Testing The Premise: Are Gays A Threat To Our Children?

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.

Straight From The Source: What the “Dutch Study” Really Says About Gay Couples
