Same Sex Adoption

No problems here, so far as I can tell.  Well—except that the little one will almost certainly grow up to dress in gaudy pastels and camp out on the lawns of the fabulous!  in a tediously self-conscious display of hipster kitsch.

All of which is cool with me, so long as there’s no subsequent deal to co-host “The View”.  Because that’s where this conservapervert draws the line!

    The first family counselor my mother went to when her marriage to my father was falling apart and she was trying to sort out her sexual orientation (neither of which had anything to do with each other, believe it or not) told her she was going to burn in hell, and that my sister and I were going to burn in hell and end up lesbians so she’d never have any grandchildren.

    I’m tempted to hunt him down and send him a picture of my happy, well-adjusted family – but he’d probably just use it as evidence of the good work he did.

    Did he graduate from Liberty U by any chance?

    Thanks for the hat-tip, Jeff. Much appreciated. If you scroll down on my blog you can see a fun little image of Cate Blanchett as a vampire, courtesy of Microsoft Paint, about the only imaging software I’m qualified to use, after a fashion.

    Conservapervert?!

    Dude, that deserves to be a comic book or something.

    see?

    Does it surprise anyone that the gay couple are FLAMINGOS?  I mean, [flam]e is right there in the name, and they are PINK.

  6. Alice H says:

    IIRC, he graduated from the University of Oklahoma.  Which is an awfully liberal campus.  Really, most of the colleges in Oklahoma are.

    I looked online to try to confirm his alumnus status but all I found was that he has a $17K federal tax lien.

    Heh.

    I’ll bet you typed that with relish.

    Unfunny and homophobic both! 

    Good job.  Didn’t you say you were quitting?

    Faster, please.

    tw: did12.  Well no, not yet.  But we keep hoping!

  9. Percy Dovetonsils says:

    Oooooh, snap!

    Jeff, apparently the spirit of Noel Coward has risen from the grave to taunt you with his witty bon mots.

  10. Isn’t that cute? It found the Turing word!

    Can we keep it?

    Well sure, things may be going swimmingly now, but I can already anticipate the rows Carlos and Ferdinand will be having over the paint scheme of the newly refurbished baby room. Perhaps they can reach an entente over the chick’s clothing and accesories. One can only hope.

    PS. Is it possible James Wolcott reads and comments on PW?

    And mustard and onion.

    Unfunny and homophobic both!

    Um, no, this wasn’t homophobic.  This was mocking people who assume that a child raised by same-sex parents are going to be screwed up.  (Correct me if I’m wrong, Jeff.) You’re being overly sensitive.

    And as a child of a same-sex couple and a fan of kitsch, I found his comments very funny.

  13. McGehee says:

    Alice, you need to understand—sux’s taunts have nothing to do with the content and everything to do with what’s going on inside it’s lumpy little head.

    I think it’s an Andrew Sullivan sockpuppet, myself.

  14. McGehee says:

    inside it’s lumpy little head.

    Heh. I emitted a spurious apostrophe. Let the trolls attack!

  15. Alice H says:

    Holy crap, you can’t buy pink flamingos anywhere.  I knew the company went out of business a few months ago, but I had no idea that they would be impossible to find so quickly.

    Someone was gonna get a family47 of same-sex pink flamingos to piss off their HOA, but I just can’t find them.

    I sense a really good John Waters joke here, but I just can’t seem to coax it out.  Anyone?

    Good job.  Didn’t you say you were quitting?

    “yoursitesux”??!?!?

    What are you frickin 12 years old?

  18. A Recovering Liberal says:

    Heh. Thanks for pointing this out. As the editor of a birding magazine, it’s rather amusing to see this get BBC coverage.

  19. Well, Gloucestershire … I mean what do you expect?  Not that there is anything wrong with Gloucestershire …

    I almost riffed on Gloucestershire, too, RR. Glad someone did.

  21. That’s what I’m here for, kelly.

    The pair, who have been together for about six years, can feed their chick without any female help – by producing milk in their throat.

    That’s their story.
