OK, I’m sure you’ve all seen Prop 8 The Musical; if you haven’t or you just need a refresher, check it out here:
Well, as expected, there aren’t too many Christians very happy with the mini-musical. A press release went out from the Christian Anti-Defamation Comission, expressing their anger, demanding an apology:
“Jack Black should remember from his days at Hebrew School that homosexual acts aren’t funny and are roundly condemned in the Bible,” said Dr. Gary Cass, of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission. “Appearing as a sarcastic, rotund Christ, Black distorts the Bible and condones shameful, homosexual acts. Associating Christ with perverse activity is an affront to all people of faith, especially Christians. Apparently Black and company find it hilarious to falsely accuse Christians while they intentionally distort the Bible. Black ought to apologize.”
Really? Oh no, he talked about the separation of Church and State…blasphemy!!!
“I think that the pro-life position is one of the important aspects or fundamentals of the Republican Party. And I also feel that — and I’m not trying to equivocate here — that Americans want us to work together. You know, [former Pennsylvania Governor] Tom Ridge is one of the great leaders and he happens to be pro-choice. And I don’t think that that would necessarily rule Tom Ridge out … I think it’s a fundamental tenet of our party to be pro-life but that does not mean we exclude people from our party that are pro-choice. We just have a — albeit strong — but just it’s a disagreement. And I think Ridge is a great example of that. Far more so than [New York City Mayor Michael] Bloomberg, because Bloomberg is pro-gay rights, pro, you know, a number of other issues.”
Well, at least he’s not hating on those who prefer to let women and their doctors decide whether they want an abortion, but is he really taken aback by Bloomberg who is “pro-gay rights, pro, you know, a number of issues”? I find it interesting that McCain is alright with allowing pro-choicers into the Republican mix, but gays? Hell-to-the-no, as Maya Rudolph as Whitney Houston would say.
