The Den of Debauchery's Subannex

There was a shooting at the offices of the anti-gay hate group, the Family Research Council. A security guard was wounded.

The QUILTBAG leaders came together and penned a very nice letter, and the major organizations all signed on.

The FRC knowingly lies about gay people, uses outdated and fraudulant studies and has helped sponsor Uganda's "Kill the Gays" bill as a trial ballon for one here.
In the face of that, the response of the Professional Gay Rights folks was very civilized.


My response was not so civilized. I wrote filk. It kind of goes to "I've been working on the Railroad." (doesn't quite scan, but if you know what I'm filking, it can work)

The eyes of the QUILTBAG they are upon you,
Tony Perkins, dear.
We missed your lying ass in DC, but we'll win yet, have no fear.
Your policies are hate based. Your people all are old.
The future clear belongs to us, the free and the strong and the bold!

The eyes of the Christian Right are on you,
Tony Perkins dear
Our leaders sent you hope and prayers. All civilized, they shed a tear
The rest of us, we are cheering. We'd see your lies blown to kingdom come
To take your Talibangelical troops and march them through Hell with a fife and a drum

Had that moment last week.

T.G. Shepherd's "Slow burn" (1983) starts with the line, "She's got that dark hair flowing across her shoulders."

For the last 25 years I've been singing it "She's got that dark-haired boy across her shoulders," envisioning the singer watching jealously as his girl dances across the room with someone else, younger and better looking.
There is a dance position, where the girl holds her hands at shoulder height, palm up and the boy wraps his right arem around her shoulders to hold her right hand.
