I smell a dead parrot. Ceased to be.

Anyone who wants to see newspaper clippings of the Asbury Park, NJ gay
men getting married, go look at www.app.com to see the Asbury Park Press
online. It's coming to a town near you! Asbury Park is 10 miles down
the road from me. All that the gays moving into the city have done is
revivify it economically and culturally.

I'm not a gay sex fan, either. I'm a hetero fan and practitioner. Ask
my ex-wife's lawyer.

You don't have to be a gay person to find what's happened here, on this
list, grossly repugnant. The issue has been flogged to death more than
Jim Caviezel in that repulsive anti-Christian movie made by Hutton
Gibson's son (and yes, I have actually seen it!). IF YOU DON'T CONDONE
GAY MARRIAGE, DON'T MARRY A GAY GUY OR WOMAN. How hard is that to
figure out? Don't hide behind pseudo-science, the Bible, or Tim LaHaye
to justify your visceral fear and bigotry. Stop flogging a dead horse.
Nobody cares. Society's going to change around you and without your
permission or the permission of your pastor, rabbi, priest, and shaman:
your judgment on its direction is your own business, but for Godsake
stop inflicting your beliefs on everyone else under the mask of objectivity.

In other words, no Monty paraphrase, drop it like you would an anvil on
your foot. It may hurt you, but the screams of pain will be lots easier
to take than the rivers of crap.
