Hundreds of Sacramento-area students rallied to support four students suspended for wearing anti-gay shirts. One participant said: "It's only going to get worse against Christians. We're going to get persecuted more and more. But those who stand to the end: God is going to save them." Um, right...

Last week’s loving and accepting speech by the Pope claiming that there is absolutely no social need for gay marriage got Italian queers into a tizzy. We’re sure the Pope was delighted to see drag queens and (gasp!) men smooching in protest over the weekend.
Plenty of people still support Pope Benny and by the way they make it sound, they must have a completely gay-free family! Even that middle-aged bachelor uncle who lives with his “roommate” has gotta be a total hetero!
"Family is a serious thing, based on love between a man and a woman." He is a member of the right-wing Northern League party.Culture Minister Rocco Buttiglione, who is close to the Vatican, told reporters that people's energy should be spent on pro-family efforts like finding jobs and housing.
"These are the political problems you should put the spotlight on," Buttiglione said. "Because without children, Italy dies."
OK. We’ll just be blunt about this. Will someone please slap the stupid out of people like this and remind them that gay marriage does not equal the end to procreation?

The Vatican has ordered all Catholic Diocese to look under the rug for "evidence of homosexuality" in their new attempt to root out gays from the Catholic Church. Good lord, I'd hate to have that job. Where do you start?
You're in the Vatican, and you're the Pope, and you're staring up at the Sistine Chapel, painted by a homo, and you adjust your hat and robe, which you KNOW was designed by a homo, and you ask your employees (at least 10% who are homos) about getting rid of gays in the church. Mr. Pope, with all due respect, any institution (the Church included) without gays is like tossing a shirt over a chair instead of on a hanger. It lacks class and shape.
So then, what? Pope, you're new, so we'll be kind: Without us, you'd be sitting in a chapel that looked like a Wal-Mart and wearing Wranglers.
