"What it seems like to me is this: Obama’s religous outreach is not witchhunting or targeting gays in any way. But it also is not looking at us as important religious partners. Newsweek columnist Sally Quinn says that [Josh] DuBois was the person who first floated Rick Warren’s name as a possible inaugural speaker; DuBois, [...]
"Ryan Pacifico is suing Calyon in the Americas, charging that his one-time boss at the French financial firm presided over a testosterone-fueled trading desk, where he was mocked for avoiding meat and wearing snug-fitting shorts during triathlons. "A trading floor is certainly a manly man's world," Pacifico said. "I just never expected someone to think [...]
Oh, I know we could come up with a more clever line, but what else do you say to his Esquire profile where he equates gay marriage with bestiality?

What a surprise:
An Austrian pastor who has been quoted as calling Hurricane Katrina God's punishment for sin in New Orleans is being promoted to the rank of bishop.
In 2005, Wagner was quoted in a parish newsletter as saying that he was convinced that the death and destruction of Hurricane Katrina earlier that year was "divine retribution" for New Orleans' tolerance of homosexuals and laid-back sexual attitudes.
Soon-to-be Bishop Wagner obviously has no idea what he is talking about. I would not say "devine retribution", perhaps it was some sort of "devine intervention" considering that the gay neighborhoods, the French Quarter and Marigny, were largely spared. But we all know that the truth only gets in the way of a good gay bashing story.
It said the newsletter quoted Wagner as saying that Katrina destroyed not only nightclubs and brothels in New Orleans, but also abortion clinics.
"The conditions of immorality in this city are indescribable," Wagner was quoted as saying.
WTF? Brothels in New Orleans? I thought Storyville closed in 1917.
