WP_000654I’m feeling especially “pink” today and out of the ordinarily insightful.  I saw this tree today and I really liked the vibrant pink.  It’s a bright and sunny day here in the Bay Area and it made me think of a half-baked idea I had for a blog a long time ago.  It’s part sermon and part queer, which is an odd combination for me in my writing (I think) so I’ve never actually written it.  Here it is today though in all it’s Pink and True glory.

KYLE-MCCARTER-ILLINOIS-GAY-MARRIAGE-largeIn a glaring demonstration of ignorance concerning an entire industry, Illinois state Senator Kyle McCarter (R) warns that if marriage equality becomes law in his state, “Businesses will be affected. Bed and breakfasts, florists, all those that are wedding-related, will be affected. They will choose to, most of them, dissolve their businesses.”  Florists will close rather than let their precious carnations, lilies, and roses appear at a gay wedding?  News flash, Kyle: about most of those florists…

Loose lips sink ships

Posted on January 29, 2013 by | 1 Comment

No truer words have ever been spoken.  Although gossip and backbiting are human nature and can come as natural as breathing or eating they carry the destructive force of monsoon to any enterprise.  When I was an evangelist for the Pentecostal holiness movement many, many moons ago I was shocked and surprised at how almost every church in every state I traveled to was afflicted with member and clergy alike who just couldn’t keep their traps shut.

This article in the Advocate was submitted by one of our readers and I thought I’d pass it along…

Keep watching to the end…the lesson here is that things are not always what they seem to be. I know I initially rolled my eyes and thought, ‘Here we go again’, especially since this pastor is from Springfield, MO, where I went to grad school.
