Even More Pope: But What Do The Gays Think?

Gay community hopeful about anti-gay pope
Pope Francis has called homosexuality "the work of the devil." 
However, the LGBT community has "cautious optimism" about the new pope.

Your actual headline on USA Today - introducing a video news item where they find out what the entire LGBT community around the world thinks by talking to one (1) person - ie some fucked-up gay Catholic.
Good to find out what we all think.
Thanks USA Today!

Statistic Of The Day: It's Not, It's Not, It's Not, Not A Sin

Americans who believe being gay is a sin are now a minority — a shift that a Southern Baptist-affiliated research group links to President Barack Obama's changed opinion of gay marriage.
A November survey from Nashville-based LifeWay Research found 37 percent of Americans polled said "yes" when asked if homosexual behavior is a sin. Forty-five percent said it was not. Seventeen percent didn't know.
That's a major change from LifeWay's September 2011 survey, when 44 percent said homosexuality was a sin, 43 percent said it wasn't and 13 percent didn't know...

Anthea Butler, associate professor of religious studies at the University of Pennsylvania, said that politics, culture and demographics have played a role in the growing acceptance of homosexuality. She pointed to Obama's support of gay marriage as well as gay rights victories in four state elections this past fall.
There's also the popularity of gay celebrities such as talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
"Who wouldn't want to take their grandmother to see her show?"

Spider-Man: A Tangled Web

'Marvel Comics reveals the new Spider Man is black - and he could be gay in the future'

"He started life as a white science geek living with his uncle.
But now to reflect the racial changes in America Spider Man has been given a makeover - as a half black half Latino teen.
"Miles Morales has replaced Peter Parker as the face behind the famous webbed mask, Marvel Comics has revealed.
"In the latest edition of the Ultimate Fallout series he pulls back the disguise and shows his face for the first time.
"Fans will have to wait until the official Spider Man relaunch next month to find out how he came to be the superhero.
"But another surprise could be in the pipeline after his creators said that in the future they would not rule out making him gay..."

The Daily Mail.

They didn't really say that.
Talking to USA Today about Spider-Man's metamorphosis into a mixed-race teen, Miles Morales, artist Sara Pichelli merely said;
"Maybe sooner or later a black or gay — or both — hero will be considered something absolutely normal."
And that is all, folks.

Jodi Pilcoult: No Surprises

Zillion-selling author Jodi Pilcoult has a new book out, Sing You Home.
It's about The Gays and that!
"I actually started writing about this because it was so upsetting to me personally that gay rights is even an issue in this country," she says. "I travel enough to know that it just isn't an issue anywhere else. And they wonder why Americans are so hung up on it. I have so many gay friends and I've known so many gay people over the years. I have gay relatives."
She sure does. Including her 19 year-old son, Kyle.
He came out while Jodi was writing her new book.
Who knew?
"I knew Kyle was gay. I knew when he was 3 that he was gay. But I felt great that he felt comfortable enough with us to come to that conclusion while still in high school and to share it with us..."
And Kyle's coming out gave Sing You Home a sense of urgency.
"It suddenly became more than just a philosophical study. It became the mission of a mother. Because when Kyle is ready to get married and have kids, I don't want him to have to jump through hoops."
Aren't mums wonderful?
