But what are your thoughts on homosex?
Sci-fi writer John C. Wright does not approve of the Sci-Fi channel's apparent pandering to the "homosex" crowd.

The head of Sci-Fi channel has contritely promised to include more homosex in future shows, and to do it nonchalantly, just as if this abomination is normal and natural and worthy of no comment. The shows will not actually come out and say sexual perversion has no bad side effects. They won't actually lie and tell you homosex won't destroy your life. But they will imply the lie. They will play along.

Homosex. It's almost kind of catchy!

I'd like someone, anyone, to explain to me how my culture reached a position where a public entertainment company can be criticized for failing to contribute to the moral decay of the land, and that the criticism would be taken seriously, and the company would cringe and promise to do better.

Someone explain to me by what series of events persons with serious sexual-psychological malfunctions would somehow be awarded the status of moral arbiters, something like priests and confessors and sages -- except that the passkey to being a guardian of public conscience in our age is the absence of moral value, not the presence.


Explain they do. As soon as the post is referenced in a MetaQuote, the dissenters are off to reply to Mr. Wright. The initial reaction is small, but promising. Most responses are rational and non-inflammatory. Others are quite succinct and curt. A number of users coming in presumably through MetaQuotes announce Mr. Wright's loss of a potential customer, as long as Mr. Wright does indeed use their filthy, filthy Leftist dollars.

Come, my liberal leftist comrades! You openly boast of your superior intellectual power and more profound moral sobriety than we mere working Joes of flyover country (including working Joes like me with a doctorate in law who works in DC). You have anointed yourselves our superiors: that means you are smart enough to explain it. By what logic is the sole and single standard of virtue in your world view an absolute devotion to vice? By what logic is the sole and single sin the sin of having standards of virtue, what you call being intolerant?

'dem sure be fancy words.

Meh. It was already full of wrestling and nonexistent ghosts.

But it does have "Eureka" and "Warehouse 13", so I'm willing to be generous.

That being said, if this schmuck ever glanced at the amount of Carter/Stark slash out on teh_interwebs, he'd probably shriek like a little girl.

I don't get it. I converted to Catholicism seventeen years ago, and all I got was a wafer and a sip of wine....

I have known, worked, and lived with many Catholics over the course of my life, and only a few of them are clinically insane.

You mean you didn't get the batshit insane membership package? Your priest must have been holding out on you. I'd complain.

It's okay. I still have the ones from the SBC and Christian Scientists.

No, but does it mean something if Mister Terrific and I had our child baptized by a priest who was a Deadhead and was known for smoking a little pot in the rectory now and then? (It wasn't on purpose, it just happened that way.)

Said child is now 17 and is pretty cool, actually. So something worked out there.

And Doctor Who when it's not on for-fucking-ever hiatuses.

(Sadly I can't use my Who icons because JF keeps logging me out and I'm lazy.)
