Continuing with the recent “gay Mormon” theme:
When I initially posted the gay missionary photos, I decided it wasn’t necessary to show them all. I just wanted everybody to see firsthand what the fuss was about, so I picked two that I had seen publicly displayed at the controversial exhibit and left it at that.
Since [...]

Ed asked below if I’d seen Latter Days and what I thought of it.
I saw the movie at a screening a few days before it finally opened in Salt Lake City on March 26 at our local independent art-house, the Tower Theatre.
It was originally supposed to open at the end of January at Salt [...]

I thought I was done with these op-ed pieces, but then I stumbled across Gene Weingarten’s Washington Post column, Below the Beltway, from this past Sunday.
Aisle Be Damned
But perhaps the best argument for why gay marriage is a grave threat to America is historical. Historically, when a society begins to condone decadence and licentiousness, it [...]

I finally got a couple scans of the needlessly controversial gay Mormon missionary photos.
They’re a little small, but behold:

For all the whining about how “offensive” they are, they seem relatively innocent to anyone not familiar with Mormons (and I still think they are), but those “in the know” will immediately recognize the symbol on the [...]

I’m kind of sick of this whole Rhea County, Tennessee thing, but I’ve got one more article, this time from the Tennessee press, all because of the following exchange:
Mrs. Griffin said she did not believe there are any gays living in Rhea County. She said, “Anyone I ever suspect, I go up and ask them [...]

I was initially hesitant to post this video because it’s kinda gross and posting it shows poor taste and a definite lack of good judgment. But then I realized: When has that ever stopped me? Plus, when Patrick got the same email forward, he laughed until he snorted, so you know it’s a good one:
My [...]

Patrick and I are planning a trip to San Francisco for 2004 Pride (along with two friends) and I’m actively soliciting advice and recommendations about hotel options in town.
To be perfectly honest, I don’t know San Francisco geography from Baghdad. New York is my second home, not the Bay Area. I’m in the process of [...]

Like this is a big improvement:
County Retreats from Call to Ban Gays
Rhea County’s “leaders” should be jailed for their grammar.


March 17, 2004

I should have known that a state in the South would keep Utah from being seen as the most hateful in the nation:
Rhea County (TN) Officials Seek Change in Law to Ban Gays
Rhea County commissioners unanimously voted to ask state lawmakers to introduce legislation amending Tennessee’s criminal code so the county can charge homosexuals with [...]

Though not really surprising, it’s disgusting all the same:
Mormon Leader Compares Gay Rights Movement to Rise of Hitler
Sheri Dew, president of the LDS-owned Deseret Book, likened those who do not oppose gay marriage to those who did nothing to oppose Hitler’s rise to power. Ms. Dew, who is unmarried and has never raised children, also [...]
