I hope you all had a great Pride and that you carry it through the year until the parade in 2004. Did you see the bunch of sodomite-haters on Diversey? God bless their hearts, they must have been sweating like pigs under all those clothes.

After fixing the election for Bush, who would have thought the U.S. Supreme Court would do something sensible like overturn the Texas sodomy law. I immediately turned on the TV to see what Jerry Falwell had to say about it. I tuned out but every so often I heard the words ‘gay agenda’ and ‘bestiality.’

As we all know, there isn’t a gay agenda, but I can’t believe some dyke or some queen hasn’t written one. GOAL 1: Completely destroy the concept of heterosexual marriage …

The irony is that they don’t need us to ‘threaten the family,’ they’re doing that just fine by themselves in the divorce courts.

Has anyone got the dirt on Falwell? Is he married? Is there some sad woman out there who’s stuck with that butt-ugly loser? OK, I shouldn’t make fun of someone’s looks, but honestly, the man’s got a face like a smacked ass.

According to Reuters, ‘A New York teen-ager has alleged that teachers violated her civil rights when they suspended her from school for wearing a ‘Barbie is a Lesbian’ T-shirt.’

‘Lawyers who filed a lawsuit on her behalf in Manhattan federal court said 14-year-old Natalie Young is openly lesbian and that a teacher laughed at her, calling the garment and its reference to the popular Barbie doll ‘inappropriate”

You go girl!! The right lawyer and this could pay your way through college. Although, ‘Barbie is a Lesbian’ … !!!??? Mattel are notorious for suing anyone misusing the Barbie name. Unless, of course, you can prove that Barbie IS a lesbian.

But how you prove that 11-1/2 inches of plastic with no genitals can eat pussy, is a mystery to me!! But hey, I could be wrong.

I don’t know why I never heard about this one before, but I recently read in the Village Voice about a furor that erupted at the Second International Robin Hood Conference in 1999 … (Who knew?) ‘In a paper mischievously titled ‘The Forest Queen,” reports the Voice, ‘University of Wales professor Stephen Knight delivered a talk suggesting that the enduring myth of Robin and his devoted comrades was far more erotically charged than scholars had previously surmised.

‘Knight based his case on certain 14th-century ballads, the earliest known accounts of the 12th-century hero’s deeds. Not only did these poems contain considerable homoerotic imagery (‘references to arrows, quivers, and swords,’ Knight later told the London Sunday Times), but it was clear that Maid Marian never existed. She was an invention of 16th-century authors eager to make Robin palatable to readers who might have objected to the kind of homosexual subculture the church sent underground in the 13th century.’Doesn’t it conjure up a fabulous picture? Imagine, men in tights and little green hats hotly debating whether or not a fictional character was a fag!! Who next? … Winnie the Pooh.
