AfterElton Briefs: Campbell's is soup-er, gay = deforestation, and more!

Thanks for the Jake's Adventures in Dollywood reminder.  I've always adored Dolly.  It took me a while to warm up to Scissor Sisters, however.  The first time I'd ever heard of them was when they performed on "Saturday Night Live."  I thought they were awful!  Cut to a few years later when I bought their second album.  Jake is cute and seems like a lot of fun.  It also helps that he has mentioned my favorite band, Ace of Base, as one of his little pleasures.

P.S. I got my 9 to 5 soundtrack in the mail, today!

The current pope dislikes gay people but not enough to get rid of the paintings on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, or all the other works of art in the Vatican, such as statues, created by gay artists because they make money for the Vatican.

Also, he says being gay is against natural law, but he fails to explain the existence of homosexuality throughout the animal and insect kingdoms (which are also known as "Creation" in religious terms). 

Since he is not a god, the pope gets frustrated that he cannot control Creation which self-evidently includes homosexuality as part of the natural order. And since the pope fails to update the bible with new information, he gets frustrated by the inconsistencies between what people thousands of years ago wrote vs. what people thousands of years later have learned.

So instead he reverts to type and malevolently attacks gay human beings (remember he grew up in Nazi Germany; all his role models growing up did the same thing - scapegoating). It is little wonder that hundreds of millions of Roman Catholics do not listen to him anymore.
