Right before this signing ceremony, a white male sang The Lord's Prayer. In the White House rose garden. How disgusting is that?

Of course not; but while the designers might disagree with their classy client's lifestyle, they'll still take his money and will frost his cake the way he likes it.

The "religious objectors" that run small businesses could learn a lot about customer service - and humility, a quality Jesus promoted - from the gay community.

My uncle was a CO during WW II. The story of the members of the American Society of Friends who refused to serve is fascinating. Many were well-educated. They were sent to work in mental hospitals for "alternative service" as punishment. The conditions in those institutions were snake pit. Just horrible. They publicized the miserable state of these establishments and did much good work in getting them improved.

Lady MS: As a proud, card-carrying member of Americans United (for the Separation of Church & State), you cannot imagine my relief when ACLU scoured this puppy, then said: Go home, folks - nothing to see here. We've got this. Nevertheless, since knee-jerk Drumpf responds reflexively to the last babble he heard, we remain hypervigilant...and, at this stage of life, fuckin' exhausted.

... I remember leaving a party hosted at the townhouse of a rather well-off gay couple who were notorious for their really bad fashion and interior design sense. Most heard comment when heading for the cars... "They're gay? What happened? Did they get thrown out of the club?" Do they need an intervention?"
