According to Queerty, Sally Kern has a gay son who she has disowned, presumably because she thinks he’s worse than a terrorist.
Imaging being a gay child and being terrorized by that level of abuse and then being tossed out like a piece of trash on top of it.
It’s all so Christian!
Unfortunately, there are millions of gay children around the world who must endure it every day.
Soupy Trumpet gives a revealing look inside the mind of Oklahoma City Legislator Sally Kern who claims that gays are worse than terrorists.
Yet another example of how religion is poison to the mind.
Religious beliefs are not facts, Sally. That’s why they’re called religion. People have faith because they have no facts.
Oh, and BTW, religion is indoctrination.
Sadly, Sally, like billions of others around the globe, is a victim of that brainwashing.
Here’s the direct link to the YouTube rant.
Both the Seattle Times and the Seattle-PI reported today that Ric Weiland, who was one of the first five employees at Microsoft, left millions to nonprofit organizations focused on gay rights and HIV/AIDS. For many of the organizations, the donations he gave them were the largest donations they have ever received.
Weiland committed suicide last year at the age of 53 after a long battle with depression.
I had never heard of him before today but have certainly used products he wrote or developed. I found his story fascinating. He was obviously a brilliant, remarkable gay man who lived a full, rich life.
I find it interesting that he was unable to find happiness even though he was in a long-term relationship, had strong family connections and was active and respected in his community. We are constantly being told that those things are protective against unhappiness. But in his case those things and the fact that he was in great physical shape and very wealth were not enough. Depression is a puzzling problem.
I’d certainly like to know a lot more about his important life. It sounds like his depression was being managed until he suffered so many deaths in his family. Personally I find it depressing that a gay man of such enormous accomplishments felt he had leave much of his fortune to support the battle for basic human rights for gays and lesbians in our culture. I wonder if that got to him as well. If he had been straight his life would have been different just because of the political climate in our country.
Ted Haggard has apparently suffered some kind of relapse.
The latest twist in the Haggard drama comes via a vaguely-worded letter sent Tuesday to friends of New Life Church by its new pastor, Brady Boyd. In the letter, Boyd indicates that Haggard — the charismatic evangelical leader who was fired by his church in early November 2006 in a shocking gay sex and meth scandal involving male escort Mike Jones — is moving on.
“New Life Church recognizes the process of restoring Ted Haggard is incomplete and maintains its original stance that he should not return to vocational ministry,” according to a statement. “However, we wish him and his family only success in the future.”
Some of us are not surprised.
