Pretty in Pink

000_0118
So, let me get this straight, once again, we can't show a family with two mommies on "Postcards from Buster," but it's okay for a gay male prostitute with no journalism experience whatsoever to gain unprecedented access to the White House press room? Two lesbian women who are raising a bunch of kids on a farm in Vermont are so threatening to our nation's children that we have to essentially ban their image from public television (even though the show is all about encouraging diversity and tolerance, and has featured Mormons and Christian fundamentalists in the past), but the righteously moral, born-again Christian, gay-bashing, bedrock-family values White House thinks its fine and proper to have a gay hooker ask the President of the United States a question during a rare press conference?

Hey, I have nothing against gay prostitutes from pretend news outlets making inquiries of President Bush. I just though with all the homophobia spewing forth from the GOP and White House over banning gay marriage, and all the hatred towards gay people vomiting out of every right-wing media outlet that, you know, gays were bad people not welcome into our homes, or really anywhere in our God-fearing country. Boy was I wrong. There's been nary a peep of outrage from the right wing hate machine, nor have the conservative Republicans bravely stepped forward to denounce a gay man in their midst. Apparently, they generally embrace gay hooker fake reporters as long as they are of the right political persuasion and don't want to shack up and get married!

Do you think that whomever "Jeff Gannon" was doing inside the White House liked using condoms or not? (Inquiring minds want to know, what with all the disparagement of condoms by the White House and their pet abstinence-only crowd.)
