She needs to keep up with her Bible. If she is going to use the Bible as a weapon…

I Timothy 2:11-14: “Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve.”

The New GOP…

It just makes me feel so proud to not be a Texan, and not a Republican!

…we believe that homosexuality is contrary to what God says is appropriate behavior.

So are heresy and blasphemy. Can anyone point me to the section of the platform where they support limitations on Mormons’ civil rights?

My Gods, they even put scare quotes around the word “couple”! I find that striking; they can’t even acknowledge that gay and bi people form relationships, even if they think those relationships are evil and wrong.

The hatred is palpable, and it scares me that this is part of the platform of a state’s major political party.

We need to screen any potential benefactor of “our” services. If someone books a wedding who is a GOP member we should decline our “gay oriented services”. No flowers from gay providers, no catering from gay owned providers,no formal wear from gay designers, no ANYTHING from gay owned businesses. They can have a tacky, boring, forgettable event. We are in the “Yessm Master” smile and bow phase of our existence. That didn’t work for African-Americans too well did it! Take a hint and get militant.

“homosexuals still deserve the dignity entitled to them.”

Not the dignity that’s entitled to *everyone.*

“Obviously she doesn’t have a gay man telling her what not to wear.”

Oh, Homer, I know it’s shallow but I thought the same thing when I saw the picture and before I read the story.

And how many times has she been divorced, I wonder.

Either way, I’d love to see her actually DEFINE the so-called “dignity” she thinks we deserve.

Oh wait- that’s what that platform was for. I forgot.

Miss Priss said: “…and we believe that homosexuality is contrary to what God says is appropriate behavior.”

Wow. That’s exactly what most of the civilized world believes about the Texas GOP.
