Slog - Comments on "OMG! Look! There on that cake! GROOMS! Run for your lives!" http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/scare_grooms Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe (GOPeemypants) once famously observed—on the floor of the US Senate!—that he could proudly state that there were no queers in his family and that there never had been any queers in his family and that there never would be any queers in his family, so help him God. Anyway, it appears that an 18 year-old gay porn star named Andrew Rice somehow secured the Democratic nomination to run against Inhofe, who is up for reelection this year. And you gotta love Inhofe's latest campaign commercial (via JoeMyGod): You would never know watching that ad that Andrew...

Two Jesus getting married. That would scare them right out of their teeny minds.

Or does your book "come out strongly against gay marriage"?

Or could it possibly be that the two grooms are just a reasonably neutral icon for the issue, like newscasts used to have in the upper-right quadrant when we were kids?

I don't know too many lesbian couples who would find themselves reflected in Scare Brides.

The Rich Man and Lazarus

Jesus said:

19 "There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 "The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.'

25 "But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'

27 "He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'

29 "Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.'

30 "'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'

31 "He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'"

Isn't that why you have tests when you are pregnant? Especially over 40. It's called "CHOICE".Gay couples adopting babies. What would Wikipedia call them, greybies? Another thought all together. Guess someone has to love them and collect a check. They are some happy people though! (the 'down syndrome' people)
