Gays Aren't Necessarily Atheists

My colleague Dan Gilgoff's latest filing is headlined, "Gays Step Up Efforts to Reverse Gay-as-Godless Stereotype."
I guess growing up in "godless" New York City, I, too, labored under the delusion that most gays and lesbians did not believe in god or go to church, as neither did anyone else I grew up with.

I share herewith some interesting observations offered by my colleague Ken Walsh. Even though recent public opinion polls show the president's popularity at 60 percent or above, America's confidence in his ability to meet the challenges of his time is thinning.

Media Coverage of Sanford Affairs--TMI
Tweet Share on Facebook July 1, 2009 Comment (5)By Bonnie Erbe, Thomas Jefferson Street blog.
I don't know about you, but I can't take any more media coverage of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's increasingly chaotic and sorry life. This man is coming apart faster than a clunker car in a junkyard, and it's not pretty to watch.

Obama's Presidency Biased the Supreme Court's On Ricci
Tweet Share on Facebook July 1, 2009 Comment (7)By Bonnie Erbe, Thomas Jefferson Street blog.
Among all the responses this week to the controversial Ricci v. DeStefano Supreme Court ruling, I have yet to see a commentator mention what impact the Obama presidency may have had on the justices' ruling. Supreme Court justices, like other people, do not operate in a vacuum. Was the ruling wrong?
In my humble opinion, yes, but also somewhat inevitable now that America has elected a president of color.
