Last week
Newsweek published an
incendiary feature editorial on the Biblical arguments
supporting same-sex marriage. While the article is not as acerbic as Alex Frantz's ironic list of additional
Biblical Constitutional amendments (which I blogged about
here), it was still nice to see a major magazine take the Religious Right to task for cherry-picking which bits of Bronze Age mysticism are still relevant in the modern world. Along those lines, for a far more detailed study of the Biblical stance on homosexuality, check out this
aggregation of entries from the
Church Discipline blog. (A particular eye-opener is the
July 28, 2008 entry, which includes this quite explicit
National Geographic video on homosexuality among animals. Seriously, folks, once you've witnessed one dolphin giving his buddy a blow-hole job, your notion of what is and is not
"natural" will be forever altered.)

Thanks go out to
cs10, who just notified me that I have been using "November" in all of my December word count entries. (Before she was a kill-bot, she was an editron. In her presence, one does
not fuck-up the English language... er, I meant "In her presence, the English language is a thing up with which one does not fuck.")
It's all fixed now, love! Thanks for the tip. You can retract the laser scalpel. Never mind the retina... I've got another one.
