    But Disney isn't gay (now).



    A week after it declared victory over Walt Disney Co., a leading Christian activist group has fired another missile in its long war against companies it thinks are destroying traditional American values.

    Gregoshi, you never stop to amaze me...

    To the topic. I only read the first part of the article before I then had to stop with a shake of my head and a short outburst of laughter. Having come back to my senses, I am amazed that this can happen nowadays and find it rather sad, really.

    Switzerland has only yesterday ratified new legislation to let homosexuals get into a partnership with more or less equal rights to normally married couples. And that with a whopping 75% majority. If I had to choose between some Christian nutters and a homosexual partnership I think I would turn to the latter .

    I find it ever-so ironic and amusing that the leader of this Christian moralist anti-gay campaign is called Randy.

    It all seems a bit silly to me.

    I missed that, very suiting.

    This is quite sad and pathetic, I think... These people need to have more fun. I believe if they had more fun, they wouldn't be so grumpy and they wouldn't complian as much.

    So what happens if a big corporation is "pro-gay" but "anti-choice"? Does nobody buy its products? Or is it more important to buy products that your political opponents are boycotting than to boycott them yourself for a different reason?

    Politics is ridiculous. It's like baseball, except boring and with less colourful uniforms.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to drive my "Nazi-designed" car to pick up an "anti-choice" pizza for myself, my gay co-worker and my fundamentalist Christian secretary. Then we're going to sit and eat our pizza in the breakroom with assorted other residents of the real world, and pray to God that our heads don't burst from the pressure of all the Evil we're perpetrating.
