GayGay-Friendly Comedian Margaret Cho made some soon-to-be controversial remarks today about Sarah Palin, "I think [Palin] is the worst thing to happen to America since 9-11." Cho cited Palin's conservative views and her involvement with churches that practices gay reparative therapy. She also added that the VP Pick was meant to "appease disgruntled Hillary voters."

We swore on all things unpatriotic, unholy and wholly rational that we wouldn't write about 9/11 - aka the day that wouldn't die - but we think GMA this anecdote's sweet. Sad, yes, but it's kind of a big 'fuck you' to folk who shit on gay parenting:

Daniel Brandhorst and Ronald Gamboa were a gay couple that had adopted a newborn baby named David. Active in their Catholic church, every Sunday morning at Mass, the Brandhorst-Gamboa family were the epicenter for all the other families with parents, gay and straight.
…
"They were really the glue, the centerpiece of the parents, the leaders if you will, of the group of us," family friend Mary Walton said.

And Dan and Ron seemed to have all the tricks for handling a toddler in church.

"They had everything, whatever you needed, whether it's treats or diapers. Mothers would go 'We learned so much from them.'"

Unfortunately, the boys and their knowledge went down on Flight 175, which hit Tower 2. Shitty.

That is all.

Seems like the Pentagon spied on several LGTB groups after 9/11, even going so far as to call a University of California protest against the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy - where students protested with a “gay kissing” demonstration – a “credible threat."

No word on why the Military considered the pouty lipped protestors a threat, but the news comes on the heels of recent acknowledgements by Dubya that he spied on plenty of other Americans over the last few years.

NBC News was able to obtain only eight pages of the 400-page report, but that small portion showed that Pentagon investigators kept tabs on April protests at the University of California, Santa Cruz; State University of New York at Albany; and William Patterson College in New Jersey. A February protest at NYU was also listed, along with the law school's gay advocacy group OUTlaw, and was classified as "possibly violent."

And people wonder why Osama bin Laden got away.
