Paranormal State’s Ryan Buell Undergoing Pancreatic Cancer Treatment

The “Is Homosexuality Sinful?” Flow Chart… and Comments
I saw this floating around Facebook and enjoyed it too much not to share it as well. There is a sad debate on the One Million Vaginas Facebook page where I found the image.

Changing Attitudes toward the LGBT Community in America
Not that any of my friends feel this way, but I’ve seen comments on various threads lately saying things like “I support Chik-fil-A because, like most Americans, I don’t like gay marriage either.” To those ignorant fools I say, believe what you will, but according to a recent study sponsored by CNN and conducted by…

“Save the children! Cartoons are getting gay married!” – NOM
Ok, they didn’t put it exactly that way but that’s essentially what today’s post from the National Organization for Marriage protests. The headline they use actually continues the laughable use of sanctity, as if anything their organization does could claim to carry the torch of sanctity. Brian Brown is even more disgusted that the Midtown…

I’m sure it is nothing. Maybe just happenstance… an unexpected alignment in the universe… if anything, but this year’s confluence of Christian influenced (I’d be pressed to say “themed”) Broadway musicals have had a rough few days.
