I love me some Pam Spaulding. Check out this lovely story of what happens when a paper in Texas publishes an article about gay marriage from (GASP!) the perspective of the ACTUAL People involved.
You know, them queers, the ones trying to convert your babies.


Vitriol for a Galveston Paper

I used to work for the Galveston Daily News' sister paper. Oddly enough, when I wrote a story about a lesbian adoption, I got exactly one nasty phone call.

Dolph Tillotson is a class act, though.

Well, the main street on the island is called Broadway and we all know what that means.

He was great on "Gimme a Break"

They have the right to publish what they want in their paper. No one says that they have to cater to EVERYONE.

I personally enjoyed the seemingly-sarcastic letter to the editor, published in the Pam's House Blend link I posted, admonishing the paper and showing them how to appropriately write about gay marriages. It was very tongue-in-cheek or else the most clueless and unintentionally hysterical piece of bigotry ever written.

doodle, I don't know how I missed your post yesterday, but I'm dying over here.

On another threadjacking note, now I can't hear anything but Glen Campbell in my head.

I thought that's what you say about my PM's, Matthew.
