Terrence McNally meet Salman Rushdie!
Islamic militants have passed a fatwa on a writer who penned a play
portraying Jesus Christ as a homosexual.
Terrence McNally was sentenced to death by the Shari'ah Court of the UK as his play, Corpus Christi, opened in London. Muslims regard Jesus as a Messenger of God and revere his mother, the Virgin Mary, so the play was declared a blasphemy by the Al-Muhajiroun (The Defenders of the Messenger Jesus). The Scotsman-- October 29 Scotland the Brave The Scottish cabinet this week decided it would sweep away the vindictive Tory legislation that singles out gay relationships for condemnation. We believe that this legislation is unjust, reactionary and has no place in the Scotland of tomorrow. Wendy Alexander--Labour Minister for the Communities—The Scotsman, October 29 
Snow Jobs & Blow Jobs
Last weekend the Rev. Jerry Falwell met with a whole lot of gays. Can you beat that? Falwell was quoted as saying the gays are still going to hell but that that was one mighty fine blow job. Chris Rock— HBO's "The Chris Rock Show" October 29 Positive Spins We are celebrating a tremendous and wonderful progress in what seemed a hopeless situation. Rev. Mel White—"Gay Minister Opens Door to Acceptance at Falwell Camp" by Stephen Buttry—Des Moines Register, October 30 Mr. Falwell's Progress
While Mr. Falwell has agreed to tone himself down, he remains opposed to measures designed to
end discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. His stance continues to send a damaging message
that gay people are second-class citizens and lesser human beings. It also says that Mr. Falwell's break from bigotry is still incomplete.
Editorial—The New York Times, October 26 Male Cheerleaders May Apply The Scottish Claymores American football team want to break with tradition by setting up their own team of male cheerleaders wearing kilts.

Sappy Bradley
I'm pretty much mush. I like love…I'm a huge believer in love and why two people come together and what the potentialities are of that—so I call myself sappy, but I'm not. I'm not sapp, but I think there's a huge value in love. Brad Pitt—"People Profiles" by Bruce Newman, November 1999 'Special Rights' are Forbes' Code Words I will hire people who are qualified for the job, people who can do the work at hand; people who are there to get something done, not to make a political statement about a life style. That's incidental. And so if a person wants a job to make a statement, they're not going to get it. If a person wants a job because they're qualified and have the same principles, the same philosophy, they will be actively considered for it. And in my campaign again, I believe in equal rights for all, special rights for none. Steve Forbes --Republican Candidate for the Presidency Jerry Falwell: Bob Kunst is a Dangerous Sinner
My intent is rather to challenge the homosexual agenda which, I believe, not only counters the Bible, but also contradicts the Judeo-Christian values set forth by our nation's Founding Fathers. I not only have a right to challenge him, I believe I have a biblical mandate to confront the culture – as did the Apostle Paul – with the Truth of Christ. Rev. Jerry Falwell—"Why did I do it?"—WorldNetDaily.com, October 27 No Wine, No Wafers, Just Bottled Water Sharing a meal is a powerful Christian symbol of comity and hospitality. The Eucharist itself is derived from the Last Supper. But when Jerry Falwell, the Lynchburg, Va.-based evangelist, hosted 200 mostly Christian gay men and lesbians and their supporters last weekend, the only fare on the table was bottled water. Caryle Murphy— "Falwell and Gays Meet but Don't Eat", The Washington Post, October 30 |
Is this man dangerous? The Rev. Falwell thinks Bob Kunst (here celebrating at a Miami cultural festival) is really really bad.
