Let’s play a game: how long before WND readers’ faces melt off?

| »

The WorldNutDaily has an article on how Chai Feldblum, Obama’s nominee for commissioner for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and an “outspoken homosexual activist”, praises gay sex as being morally right, and even “wonderful” in homosexual relations. Now, let’s imagine the expressions that cross the faces of the typical right-wing pearl-clutchers who read WND, shall we?

"Gay sex is morally good," she said.

[Cringe, gasp in shock/horror, note down Feldblum’s name under the heading “Enemies of America”]

Society definitely believes that heterosexual sex is good. Right. Heterosexual sex within a certain framework – marriage – I mean, you can't get more dewy-eyed and romantic in this society about how wonderful that is."

[Uncertain pause as they try to figure out how this is an evil, wrong, anti-American thing to say]

Continued Feldblum: "If you're not being cynical for the moment, I think that does reflect a correct understanding that sex is often a basic building block for intimacy and that intimacy and connections within couples and within families are integral building blocks for a healthy society."

[Pearl-clutcher thought process: Wait, she’s talking about “gay” sex? She’s saying it’s good for homosexuals and gay couples? She said “gay” sex is – OMG, did she say it’s “integral” for a healthy society?! SHOCK/HORROR cowers, wraps pearls around hands, prays fervently]

"This is a war that needs to be fought, and it's not a war overseas where we are killing people in the name of liberating them. It is a war right here at home where we need to convince people that morality demands full equality for gay people," she said at the symposium.

[Whawhawhawha— she’s speaking ill of the our war in the Middle-East? And saying we need to hand over our equality to teh gayz?!] [*Vomits*] [*Passes out*]

There is nothing about gay sex, or any sex (or sexuality in general) that remotely constitutes a moral issue. As long as the two partners are consenting and are responsible enough to take care of any problems that may potentially arise from their relations and/or actions, the rest is entirely up to them, and no-one has the right to say any different. Case closed.
