Now that they are officially over, I wonder if Nick needs a place to stay.

If so, I don’t think there would be any problem putting him up for a few days/weeks/years…
This is either a really smart idea or else a really bad one…I can’t decide yet.

Chicago Tribune | Vatican banishes gays from seminaries
The Vatican is ordering seminaries to bar candidates for the priesthood who “practice homosexuality,” have “deeply rooted homosexual tendencies” or support “gay culture,” according to a document published Tuesday by Adista, a Catholic news agency in Rome.

I’m not a Catholic, not even a ‘Recovering Catholic’. Still, everytime the Catholic Church comes out with some statement that at it’s heart is based in hate and rejection I am angered. Afterall, I am still impacted…the Churches acceptance and encouragement of prejudice and discrimination sets an example for the lay person. Sends the message that gay people are not worthy of the simple respect and standard rights that everybody else is.

Love thy neighbor…unless they are gay, of course.

I’m certainly not upset over the special election results. I really didn’t see any reason to be having a special election in the first place…other than a last ditch effor by the Governator to regain a bit of approval.

THE SPECIAL ELECTION / CALIFORNIANS SAY NO TO SCHWARZENEGGER / STATE MEASURES: Governor reaches out, doesn’t concede

Too bad all the money that went into organizing/running the election and campaigning for or against the propositions couldn’t have been spent somewhere important…like maybe putting it into education.

Something a bit positive for a change from the midwest in regards to gay rights/equality.

The Kansas Supreme Court has struck down a state law that punished underage sex more severeley if homosexual acts were involved. Read the story: Court: Underage sex laws can’t be harsher on gays
