Rochester, Gayest City in America!


Well, is the official color of YOUR city lavender? OK, Lilac. And just for this week...

But it is a really gay place!

Marriage Equlaity has passed the NYS Assembly

They are still yapping but several have referred to the fact that the VOTE is CAST and in the AFFIRMATIVE. The GOVERNOR proposed the bill, the SENATmust now pass it. It is very close by all accounts.

Keep those cards and letters coming....

JOIN THE GROUP!

In Maine: RC or TEC?

The Roman Catholic Bishop of Maine has vowed to support a public referendum to overturn the Law passed by the Legislature and signed by the Government. So here is my plea:

If you are a Roman Catholic in Maine who disagrees with your Bishop and your Pope, and we know there are lots of you, the Episcopal Church Welcomes You.

Not every person in The Episcopal Church will welcome you but know that your Bishop publicy supported equal access to marriage. You will be a part of a church that is still working on this issue as a whole, but has a polity that allows it to change. The doctrine of the Episcopal Church is based on the prayerful consideration of scripture, tradition and reason. It is not imposed.

We have the same sacraments and the same same belief in Apostolic succession.

Join us and work with us to make the Episcopal Church an institution that lives out the Gospel as we understand it: Love God, Love your neighbor as yourself... and you are God's Beloved.

It's A BEAUTY pageant! Let it go.

This morning Mr. Trump supported Miss Prejean's right to believe what she wants.

I believe in the freedom of speech. Carrie Prejean answered a question that Perez Hilton NEVER should have asked in such a superficial setting. We might like to pretend that this is anything more than about how well a model looks in an evening gown and a swimsuit. It's a BEAUTY pageant.

Despite what a reporter asked, this is not about being a "roll model" for young girls. It's about a being a hot babe. It is not about intelligence or political activism or feminism.

Some clarification:

Miss Prejean said "I gave an honest answer to a question with a hidden agenda." Perez Hilton? Hidden agenda? I don't think so!

She said she was able to articulate her thoughts. "Opposite marriage?" not so articulate.

She went on to prove her ability to be articulate by saying, "I am not an Activist or anything." OK, well maybe that was more articulate than it sounded.

Bottom line: Donald Trump gets more press exposure than he deserves.
