Essie May wonders if heterosexuals ever have beautiful gardens or restore and remodel old houses. It just seems that every "couple" featured in the home and garden section of The Dallas Morning News is gay. This week's edition featured Mark Isaksen and Daniel Walth of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Guess they've already featured all the gays in Dallas). The article is about how they landscaped around a cliff on their property. Mr. Walth makes this statement which I'm sure he intends to be rich in meaning (he probably thinks he will go down in gay philosophy history for it): "Let the cliff reveal itself. you shouldn't struggle with or deny it." Awwwww -- doesn't that just make you want to go hug a queer?
Then, I got an email newsletter from About.com. This weekly letter either confirms or debunks current email forwards. If you get the one about California trying to institute Harvey Milk Day in the public schools, it's true. Harvey Milk was the San Francisco city official killed in the 1970's. The instruction is for the public schools to set aside May 22 as Harvey Milk Day to appropriately celebrate this man known for nothing more than being queer and getting shot. The bill has passed the legislature and awaits Governor Schwarzenegger's signature.
We're going to hell in a handbasket (but it's very sweetly decorated with lots of ribbons and lace -- they do have tons of artistic ability, you know)!
