Today's Non-News

A "christian" school has expelled a girl with lesbian parents. Shocked: I am shocked to my foundations.

Naturally, it doesn't shock me at all that any institution with the C-word in its name will exhibit bigotry at every possible opportunity. They seem to have taken their time about it, and that is one puzzlement.

I am also amazed, every time, at the powers of denial owned by so many of the sexually different. Nothing else can explain why these parents would try to give this kid a religious education. It's the same impulse that has kept my affluent, well-connected , gay nephew and his life partner in the Republican Party long past the point of reason.

Read the signs on those gates, people: They don't like you in there. In fact, they hate you. You can...you will...gain civil equality, but they will hate you to their dying breath, and nothing else their organisations can offer you will ever compensate for that.

Ladies, if you must be spiritual, try another brand.

Nephew, try the Libertarians: they don't care if you're gay and they'd like you to keep more of your money.
