"Hallmark started offering 'coming out' cards last year, and the four designs of same-sex marriage cards are being gradually released this summer and will be widely available by next year."

Yeah, it sounds novel that they're going with the flow and introducing "neutral but stylish" gay wedding cards, but it seriously took them forty years to hop on the coming-out bandwagon?

didn't take too long...

This won't change anything.  Hallmark, like all retailers, knows that homosexuals are highly sought-after consumers with a lot of disposable income, whereas tight-lipped busybodies who fret about others' private lives are notorious penny-pinchers, who have no friends for whom they would buy Hallmark cards anyway.  Bottom line rules.

There's nothing in the Bible about giving up alcohol.

And don't tell me Joseph wasn't drunk when he thought a kid with goat skin strapped to his arms was his older brother.

Oh, by the way, I now pronounce you asshat

The religious busybodies are also boycotting Bud beer.  How can they call it a boycott if the product is something they aren’t supposed to use anyway?

And queers have boycotted Coors every other year since 1989. This has resulted in some lovely, post-lavender campaigns that have just a smidge of rainbow flag-wavin' fun. I used to describe this whole fiasco as "The Pink Fax" (tho now chain emails are more du jour). Such informative memos told fags when to march, who to boycott, and whether top or bottom were popular that year. Much like Taint, I suspect, I left off caring for such things, decades ago. If silly little princesses can't make up their own minds and need to be told by some self-styled public interest group who's in and out, then they might as well get their marching orders from the likes of Perez Hilton.

They DON'T?!?

Actually, I think I this one was first, and I got the hat. But we can pass it around if you'd like.
