hurricanes with gay-dars

awesome. now crazy [self-]right[eous] wing conservatives are blaming gays for hurricane katrina. that's right, new orleans was apparently to host an orgyistic gala of gay gaiety [aka "extend[ its] welcome mat to the sodomites"] and that's why the hurricane hit: to flood out the queers soddom-and-gomorrah-style.

i would now like to take this opportunity to share some thoughts with you, oh kind readers.

1. ever heard of girls gone wild? of course you have. i'm no expert, but i'm pretty sure there's a new orleans edition; and i'm pretty sure it's full of girls who have gone wild in new orleans. i'm also pretty sure that the men that buy it aren't gay, and that it's safe to assume that the guy who built the GGW empire is 1) straight, 2) a pervert and who knows, maybe even 3) a christian.

2. ever heard of the castro? of course you have. guess what? me too. if california became a sovereign nation of gays, the kingdom would be erected (probably quite literally) in san francisco's castro district. sure, the castro suffers from the occasional fog bed, or perhaps a little drizzle; but its inhabitants have never been swept into the sea by Hurricane Jesus.

3. ever been to louisiana? me neither. but it's a red state. that's right, a state of bush lovers. they even tried to outlaw low-riding pants saying "a waist is a terrible thing to waste." [stop laughing. i'm serious]. now, don't get me wrong. i know some very cool and intelligent kids from louisiana with very liberal beliefs. but i think it's safe to say that they are sadly in the minority. so maybe god's flooding out louisiana because he's mad at them for voting an idiot into office...or maybe he just really likes low-rise pants since the tight ones chafe his nethers.

maybe god just got sick of jazz? or maybe he was upset he wasn't invited to the gay party? why must we always blame everything on the gays? or for that reason, god's wrath? people are idiots, and i'm tired of them sullying the sanctity of religion and spirituality -- because eventually, thanks to assholes like these, saying you're christian will be the same thing as saying "i'm a moron."

so my thoughts and prayers for the victims of katrina -- gay and straight -- and let's start taking care of our mother earth. we can start by supporting each other, instead of blaming.
