    <content type="html">&lt;i&gt;New Jersey Gov. James McGreevey, who earlier this year said he opposed gay marriage, announced on August 12, 2004 that he will resign ... Governor McGreevey admitted that he had a homosexual affair and has been conflicted with his sexuality since adolescence ... "My truth is that I am a gay American," he said with his wife by his side at a nationally televised news conference. &lt;/i&gt; - Yahoo News&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course gay people shouldn't marry each other, much better to marry someone of the opposite gender and have secret extramarital affairs instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Except that that's not being "gay".&lt;/b&gt; "Gay" is about more than just homoerotic feelings.   It is about not allowing adversity to chase you from the path you know to be right, and about taking pride in having stared down that adversity and emerged in the end with a stronger sense of self and an intact sense of humor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Governor McGreevey, you are not a "gay American."  Your truth is that you are a spineless, sorry excuse for a human being who grasped that mantle in desperation after being threatened with blackmail.  I hope you grow some balls after your resignation.</content>

    <content type="html">"The People's Republic" is what I tell those who ask me my&lt;br /&gt;nationality when I'm traveling abroad, as I discreetly slip the &lt;br /&gt;navy passport and cotton/linen dollars into my inside pocket - &lt;br /&gt;better to be thought a Child of Mao than a warmongering jingoist.&lt;br /&gt;In China the legislators don't reprint &lt;i&gt;their&lt;/i&gt; menus when&lt;br /&gt;a saner country objects conscientiously to their actions.&lt;br /&gt;"I'd like some Autonomy Cheese with my toast, thanks."&lt;br /&gt;Patriotism to &lt;i&gt;them&lt;/i&gt; isn't buying a flag on 9/14 to wave for the neighbors&lt;br /&gt;or cruising in the SUV shouting "God bless America!" as they pelt a &lt;br /&gt;Sikh woman with rocks, wax drippings still soft on their shoes &lt;br /&gt;from last night's candlelight vigil for the Trade Center fallen.&lt;br /&gt;"Either With Us or Against Us," George?  Who died and made &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; God&lt;br /&gt;and decreed that &lt;i&gt;your&lt;/i&gt; children deserve fathers and mothers &lt;br /&gt;but not the children of those oil-hoarding diaper-head Iraqis?&lt;br /&gt;O Father Abraham, how came your disciples to such hypocrisy?&lt;br /&gt;You blame me, Jerry and Pat, for the degradation of this&lt;br /&gt;Great country?  Just the other day I came across Mighty Bill Bennett, &lt;br /&gt;still clutching his colored plastic Bellagio chips as he scrawled across &lt;br /&gt;my copy of The Book of Virtues. "Yes, well, I can handle it."&lt;br /&gt;To preach the Gospel &lt;i&gt;and&lt;/i&gt; decipher the purple triangle of the&lt;br /&gt;PBS child-subverter Teletubby proclaims true patriotism.&lt;br /&gt;Here's a man, cheeks flushed crimson with righteous&lt;br /&gt;indignation, crying, "gays threaten the institution of marriage!" &lt;br /&gt;as he gathers his beer and chips, ABC Wednesdays 9/8 central,&lt;br /&gt;slobbering over the girls in the newest hour of "The Bachelor."&lt;br /&gt;Cash is ass in Nevada: "Bunny Ranch, 2 mi., Viagra users welcome!"&lt;br /&gt;But head south and east and it's tradition for a man to face Miranda, &lt;br /&gt;squinting at clinking silver rings, if he dares kiss his boyfriend in &lt;br /&gt;his own bedroom.  "Silly faggot, only breeders can sodomize in Texas!"&lt;br /&gt;Plastered with spit, my brothers and sisters are shipped home, stripped of&lt;br /&gt;stripes and fatigues, because some joker yelled "queer!" in the mess hall.&lt;br /&gt;Yet who is monitoring when bugles sound for the next Iraqi slaughter?&lt;br /&gt;"Gay, huh?  We'll discharge your ass - at the war's end, if there's &lt;br /&gt;anything left of you worth sending home, you disgusting fag."&lt;br /&gt;Is it Homeland Security we need, or a Homeland Reality Check?&lt;br /&gt;Stocks are up, necklines are down, so off we go - American Pride! - &lt;br /&gt;Big Macs, semi-automatics, and Britney music videos in tow,&lt;br /&gt;spreading our first-world sickness to the less advanced peoples.</content>
