Bizarro Shout Out

Queer History Month may have come and gone, but the struggle surrounding providing basic human rights to our friends, sons, daughters, lovers, and (most importantly) for ourselves has not.

I read a pre-election poll today that said that 57% of the voting public supports some form of gay marriage or civil union. That's heartening. But the cold reality, the stark truth, informing today's Bizzaro comic reminds us that we have still have so far to go.

nice post D. i watched a "bizarro" movie last night: Jesus Camp.

I've heard it's quite good, Eric. What did you think?

BTW, glad to see that you got an MT account. You're now on the list of approved posters.

Thanks for the comment.

I'm glad I'm "approved." I'm impatient when it comes to comment moderation :-)

Jesus Camp made me feel like a vampire in a garlic bathtub. It should have been titled: Jesus Camp a.k.a. Friday the 13th. It was basically a horror movie. Ted Haggard is featured as the leader of millions of evangelical christians. The NY Times has an interesting article on Haggard...

I was nauseas after 2 minutes of the film and spent the remaining time hugging myself. Chills kept running down my spine.

Cat and I went to the Darkside last night and watched "This Film is Not Yet Rated." The MPAA is a very scary and idiotic censorship institution.

Thanks for sharing this Dennis!
