Enjoy this tasty treat designed help to stall the inevitable soul crushingness that is known as the start of the work week. Savor it because as soon as you're done, it begins...
Monday can't start if I don't get out of bed! But it would be nice to have an actual apartment.
- Reba McEntire loves her gay fans and says she doesn't judge. I'm thinking she mean she doesn't judge idiotic homophobes as opposed to gay people.
- God passed up another chance to smite Massachusetts for allowing gay marriage by not hitting it with Hurricane Bill. Perhaps he/she/it decided to send Bill to punish Canada instead. Minneapolis wasn't so fortunate as last week God destroyed the city with a tornado since Lutheran clergy there were voting whether or not to allow gay clergy to serve in their ministries. Okay, not so much "destroyed" as bent a church steeple which wingnut Hermann Von Traugott spun into a message from a wrathful Lord. Von Traugott's handlers then got his straitjacket back on him and gave him his meds.
You have to be hot to pull off this look!
- You know what happened a year ago this past weekend? Matthew Mitcham snagged a gold medal at the Beijing Olympics.
- Not sure how I missed this story, but last month Soldier magazine put James Wharton, an out soldier, on the cover of their July issue. In entirely unrelated news, the United Kingdom was invaded and conquered by Iceland in a nearly bloodless invasion. And that's why gays shouldn't be allowed in the military!
- In Irish wingnut news, Cardinal Sean Daly is mighty peeved Ireland is considering treating gay people like human beings. The shame, the shame! He then burned all his Reba McEntire albums moments before she was sucked up by a tornado.
- Here's Dolly Parton singing "Change It" from the soon to close musical 9 to 5. If you don't love Dolly Parton, I simply don't know what to say. Maybe looking into getting a heart transplant?
- Here is your sports pic of the week!

Yeah, that article makes me
Not just the UK
LOL.. And you know, most countries allow gay people to serve in the military these days, it's not just the UK. Like here in Norway, gays are allowed to serve too, just as straight males and females, and they have been for many years. The government even does some surveys once in a while, to figure out how gay people are accepted in the military, and to find out how the military can make it easier for them. But it has worked surprsingly well thus far. Most gay peole who has been out in the military has had a positive experience.
Argentina and Uruguay uplifted the ban on gays to serve in the military this year. Sorry to say, but USA is far behind ;( I hope Obama does something about DADT soon.
And BTW, I love that Spanish guy. I'm glad he won the title, he deserved it. Spaniards are really hot!
I don't even know what to say about the wrathful god, it just made me lol. I'm an atheist, so I couldn't care less.. I just find it awfully funny when those christian freaks try to blame everything on gay marriage. "Oh, Canada has gay marriage, so of course God would punish them with a hurricane.." LMAO
Harvey Milk: You gotta give 'em hope.
Reba's gay cowboys...
shouldn't be too surprised that she's supportive (for a country singer); she had a lesbian episode on her eponymous sitcom.
Just thought i'd share that tidbit given the topic of this week's "flying monkey."
That video for the Grizzly Bear's song 'Two Weeks'...
... is my new favorite thing. It made my heart flutter. So gorgeous.
The guy who made it is definitely the most dedicated and talented fan I've ever heard of.
And speaking of bears
And what's with Dolly shaving the bear's head?
Oh, who cares. It's Dolly!
The gay cinema group in Seattle showed 9 to 5 in our gay park on Friday night. There must have been a thousand people cheering and clapping Dolly and the several drag queens dressed up in their best Queen of Country outfits. It's was an absolute hoot.
God bless Dolly and her big hair and great big tatas! I love her.
Canada feels wrath of God?
So Thursday night a tornado hit Toronto, which doesn't happen all that often, and now Bill is on his way?
Good thing my God is loving, not vengeful, so I'll just assume it's mother nature trying to get rid of idiots who treat the planet like crap.

Mother Nature vs. the Wrath of God
I like this theory much better Madeleine! Haha.

lol, I'm glad. but
lol, I'm glad.
but seriously, I think mother nature is finally saying "you know what? I'm just gonna kill all you mother f**king polluters and be done with it!"

Just putting a bid in for Danyl Johnson
X Factor, the British version of American Idol, kicked off last Saturday. The stand-out performance (and already the bookies' favourite for a place in the finals) was Danyl Johnson, who Simon Cowell described as giving the best audition in his memory.
Danyl is definitely talented and really quite cute. He's also cheerfully told the media that he's bi-sexual. A couple more contestants like him and I might actually watch the show.
You can see him perform at:

Minneapolis Destroyed!
I'm speaking to you from the destroyed and decaying ruins of Minneapolis. Somehow, despite that monstrous tornado that destroyed my city I'm able to get an internet connection. I'm assuming all of the Lutherans at the convention that authorized gay clergy have been destroyed by the wrath of God's tornado. For some reason I have been spared. But as you can see from that photo of the church steeple in the picture at ChristWire.org, very little is left. I'm currently eating rats and drinking rain water, so this will likely be my last post.....If only the Lutheran's had listened to God! If only the city weren't a pile of rubble!
(Actually, the weather service pronounced the tornado the weakest possible category, and for that reason didn't even recognize it as a tornado until much later. "A powerful tornado descended from the heavens", indeed! "A Minneapolis city lays in ruins"! Huh? A tornado did serious damage to the roof of a middle school later the same day. Apparently God doesn't like education. Or perhaps the school actually had gay students in it. Ya gotta love conservatives just for the comic relief.)
(Seriously, kudos to the ELCA Lutherans. I was raised a Lutheran so I'm really happy to see this. I don't recall ever hearing any anti-gay talk growing up, so I was not scarred by that, but it was a generally conservative denomination. It just put a bit more emphasis on taking care of your fellow man's needs than on snooping into his bedroom.)
