Hmmm. It’s so tempting. Who’s been naughty?
As a supporter of “No on Prop. 8,” or as I like to think of it, “No on H8,” no one was happier than me to see the ban on gay marriage in California declared unconstitutional this week by the 9th District Federal Court.
Having been married for 33 years to the same man, I’m not concerned that gay marriage makes my marriage less than sacred. Geez, I’m surprised in this day in age that anyone wants to make a life-long commitment to each other. People complain that gays are promiscuous, yet when they want to settle down and get married, some people get their undies in a bunch. Talk about a double double standard!
So in the wake of recent uplifting news (Hey, gays can now get married in Argentina and Mexico City!), I received a forward on Facebook entitled a Letter to Dr. Laura (Schlessinger) that had me LOL. Leave it to those snoops at Snopes to get the skinny on this letter, which it turns out has been floating around since 2000. It’s a hilarious read and “best read as an essay offering a counter to the “homosexuality is wrong because the Bible says so” argument. It takes the bull by the horns, but explains why you shouldn’t cook the bull. I strongly suggest you read it, or I might just have to smite you!
