what's with all the christmastime homophobia?

First there was Rick Warren being not only homophobic, but a pervy skeezbag as well. (Video here. Transcript here.) Especially the part where he says "I'm naturally inclined to have sex with every beautiful woman I see." Susie Bright thinks he's going to be involved in a sex-with-hookers type scandal (her blog entry here). I hope so. I hope he get's caught fucking an underage male prostitute. That's poetic justice.

Anyway... I don't care how much money Rick fucking Warren has given to charity or whatever Purpose Driven bullshit he's involved in, I think he's a disgusting piece of shit. Just watch the video, I'm sure you'll agree. I also forgive Obama for having him speak at his inauguration. There will come a time when homophobia is as culturally distasteful and unacceptable as racism. We're getting there, I think, slowly but surely.

And then there's the fucking Pope, who I have always disliked. In his holiday address this year he said that defending humanity from homosexuality is as important as defending the rainforest from destruction. (Article from The Guardian.) Isn't that nice? I mean, I know it's not a surprise that the Pope is a conservative asshole, but still, I can be mad about it. Xmas is supposed to be about peace and love, not bigotry and bullshit.

Ugh. I know it's just backlash. And all this loudness is just a death knell for those fuckers. I get it. But, fuck. It's fucking Christmas.

This is not what Jesus had in mind, not at all. Sometimes I wonder if all these Christians actually know of Jesus, really. Like, maybe they have him confused with someone else. Like, maybe little Agnostic Natalie is more of a Christian than they will ever be and how sad must that be for them because they know it in the deepest part of their hateful little hearts.

Sigh.
