God Has Flooded Britain Because He Is Very Pissed About Gay Marriage

"The scriptures make it abundantly clear that a Christian nation that abandons its faith and acts contrary to the Gospel (and in naked breach of a coronation oath) will be beset by natural disasters such as storms, disease, pestilence and war. I wrote to David Cameron in April 2012 to warn him that disasters would accompany the passage of his same-sex marriage bill. But he went ahead despite a 600,000-signature petition by concerned Christians and more than half of his own parliamentary party saying that he should not do so.  It is his fault that large swathes of the nation have been afflicted by storms and floods." - David Silvester, councilor for Britain's United Kingdom Independence Party.  Silvester's words would be old crazy hat here in the US, but they are front page news in Britain.

Today's Gay Etiquette Question

Usually these posts reference New York Times columnist Steven Petrow's advice on social niceties like how to decline an invitation to a gay wedding. This question, however, was posed to the founder of the gay hook-up app MISTER.

Dear MISTER Carl, About a month ago, I got dumped because I cheated on my boyfriend. I know, I'm a jerk, blah, blah, blah, but my ex decided to get revenge by uploading a bunch of nude pics of me to Tumblr. They were meant for his eyes only, but now they're out there for everyone to see -- and even being reposted on other blogs! I confronted him about it, and he said that's what I get for breaking his heart. I know I was stupid for sending them in the first place, but I feel like this is a case of the punishment far outweighing the crime. Is there anything I can do to get them taken down? I have photos of him, too. Should I give him a taste of his own medicine? -- Karma's a Bitch and So Is My Ex

Give us your answer then hit the link for Carl's response.

NOM Plots Its Revenge

NOM president Brian Brown: "In response to last night's vote, I have doubled our pledge to New York, committing at least $2 million dollars to make sure that New York Republicans understand that voting for gay marriage has consequences. Marriage isn't a partisan issue – in fact, the hero of the past month has been Democratic Senator Ruben Diaz, a courageous friend who has withstood threats, bigotry and hatred while working tirelessly to protect and defend marriage. NOM pledges to stand with Senator Diaz and any Democrat who would share his courage in standing for marriage."
