Yay!

Here’s some video of old white guys doing the right thing.

The first you’ve probably seen, of Republican mayor Jerry Sanders of San Diego coming out in support of gay marriage. If you haven’t, you MUST watch it. You might even cry.

The next is a composite of Old Man Winter Mike Gravel’s tidbits from the last debate. Gravel is a crazy old man, to be sure, but goddamn, he is so right. Even about how angry he is.

Out of touché

Check out this little poll the Chicago Tribune has running on whether homosexuality is immoral, with their columnist Eric Zorn bravely holding the fort in defense of the obvious answer. A fairly unvarnished question. I don’t think I know a single person who would answer yes. But the poll stands at an almost even tie. O tempora, o mores.

Autodafé

Wow! Crooked Timber points the way to this story, on Alabama State Senator Gerald Allen’s bill to prevent schools from using public funds to buy books about homosexuality, or even by homosexual authors!

This must be a really embarassing time to be a Republican. But me, I’m hoping that these paltry sorts of culture wars (Mr. Allen is surely condemned to the rubbish-heap of endless ridicule) will escalate into la vraie chose. If I play things right, I could end up being burned at the stake like Giordano Bruno! If I’m really bad, they may even nail my tongue to my jaw so I can’t speak poisonous lies!
