Homophobic Republican Texas Governor Rick Perry, who endorsed a resolution in support of a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, suggested that gay and lesbian veterans returning from the war in Iraq would not be welcome in Texas.

Perry said, "Texans made a decision about marriage and if there's a state that has more lenient views than Texas, then maybe that's a better place for them to live."

The Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, issued a statement saying, “More than 66,000 lesbian and gay veterans make their home in Texas. Their service has defended the freedom of every Texan, including Governor Perry. The Governor’s remarks dishonor their service and he should immediately apologize. We should be thanking these brave men and women, not asking them to leave.”

Sorry PJ I looked if you'd posted this and when I saw you hadn't I panicked! Maybe you were taking a day off from spreading the word! I sounded the alarm myself.

Now let's sing a chorus of "Bosom Buddies" and move on!

Well, of course. They shouldn't be asking him to apologize, they should be demanding that he resign!

JoeKv99: I've been meanin' to tell you for years--you should keep your hair natural like mine.

PalJoey:
If I kept my hair natural like yours, I'd be bald.

Joey and Joe:
But darling...

JoeKv99:
Exactly how old are you, Joey? The truth!

PalJoey:
Well, how old do you think?

JoeKv99:
I'd say somewhere in between forty and the death!

Joey and Joe:
But sweetie...
