“. . .Lifetime channel had a gay Episcopal priest and his “husband” with their adopted baby along with the obligatory remark about small towns not accepting gays.”
Talk about small towns and gays, reminds me of my son’e wedding. His mother-in-law and father-m-law graduated from MIT back in the mid-70’s. The both got a job in DC, him with the new EPA. He has worked in the same building all those years. Mother-in-law with her anthropology PhD went to work for the Smithsonian. She never left the building she started work in.
Both are extremely liberal and are completely convinced that Wash DC should control every aspect of life, to run the country, that state and local government are an anachronism and should be abolished.
Anyway, when my son and his bride decided to get married, they were going to tie the knot in Corpus. Mother-in-law seriously stated she would not attend the wedding because it was in TEXAS, and everyone knows Texas is full of hicks and bigots. Besides, mother-in-laws son is gay and if he went to the wedding we Texans would beat and kill her homosexual son.
Seriously. She truly believed in all that nonsense.
Eventually she relented, barely, and came to the wedding. When in Corpus she said she was surprised at the diversity of Texas, and was doubly surprised by the high number of Hispanic people in Corpus.
Ignorance grows in DC. . .
