Watercooler: Texas Republicans want gays in jail
- Texas Republicans want you in jail. Have to
give the Lone
Star State GOP props for outright boldness. Sure the Supreme Court nixed
anti-sodomy laws with its 6-3 Lawrence
v. Texas decision, but Texas
Republicans want to turn back the clock. They also want to
it be a
felony for anyone to issues a marriage license to a same sex couple. A
felony.
Classy.
- An ex-gay proves he’s not much of one. Look at
this story
of the Rev. Tom Brock, the senior pastor at Hope Lutheran Church
in North
Minneapolis. It gets his goat that gays are anywhere near the ELCA, the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. So much so that he took his
church out
of the organization. But Brock is a former queen. Not a good one though.
He had
a trip to Europe and got some same sex love. It wasn’t his fault though.
The
people of Slovakia made him throw his legs in the air (know that
feeling). It
was their “demonic energy.”
- Lady Gaga and the house that Ruth built. I
don’t know much
about the artist known as Lady
Gaga, but don’t see her being a baseball fan. Earlier in
the month,
she made New York Mets fans irate (we are a sensitive lot). This past
Friday
she did some self breast feeling up in the Yankee clubhouse. Lady Ga?
All I’m
going to say is this: Gurrrrl.
- Head of the Minnesota GOP wonders about Koering’s dinner
date. I should have been more explicit last week about
Minnesota
State senator Paul
Koering. Him going out to a dinner with porn star Brandon
Wilde is
no big deal. But if you are a Republican, whose got a primary coming up,
and
your party is in a “throw out the incumbents” mood, having steak with a
blue
movie thespian might not be savy public relations. Sure no one here
cares, but
the head of Minnesota’s GOP does. He is using the meal as
another
example of why Koering is out of touch with voters.
- Vanessa
Carlton comes out as bi. The singer/songwriter was the
headliner of
Nashville Pride and announced she was a proud bisexual. Good for her and
welcome
to the tribe.
- The
Real L Word premiered last night. Another reality series,
but this
time with ladies and the girls who love them. If straight folk can act a
fool on
TV, we should be able to do the same. However, when the reality show
craze ends
I’ll be a happy camper.
- The C-17 and DADT. President Obama has
promised to veto
the Defense
Authorization Act if it includes funding for a cargo plane
known as
the C-17. The Defense Department doesn’t want it. Lawmakers, wanting to
bring
jobs to their home states, do. What does this have to do with DADT? The
repeal
amendment is attached to the Act. A few will see this threat as all
about DADT
and nothing to do with an appropration Secretary
of Defense Robert Gates wants gone. Yes, the White House
and the
Defense Department are slow walking the DADT repeal, but the C-17 speed
bump is
not cover.
