Just so everyone knows.. we have more yard signs, tee shirts and bumper stickers. Tee shirts are $5 and bumper stickers are $1. If you want a magnetic backing, they it is also $1. Yard signs, with the various sayings, are free. You just have to promise to put the sign up where people will see it. If you want any of these items, let me know.. We are going to try and get a distribution point downtown also.

Well ... claiming that Jesus said exactly that some are born gay is stretching it just a tiny bit. But he did clearly indicate here that not every man is to be expected to become a husband and father, which counters a common and closely related insidious assertion of the Christian right.

He said that some are born eunuchs, and in his day that word applied to any man not likely to mate with a woman, whether for biological reasons or due to lack of interest.

So many gay men were considered eunuchs, and many eunuchs were gay men --- but some gay (and functionally bisexual) men were not considered eunuchs, and some eunuchs were not gay (such as asexuals).

Exegetical sloppiness like this bothers me, and I hope it doesn't backfire ... I don't want anyone to end up as a eunuch, the way the right wing likes to define the word.

I haven't seen the billboards yet, but on Tuesday I saw one sign at my apartment complex right where cars exiting the Marsh Supermarket across the street couldn't help but see it. Interestingly, when I drove by this afternoon, there was one positioned across from the other exit as well.

David Squire is the one that put up the signs
