The gay and lesbian community of Minnesota has issued a letter of apology to recently resigned Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch for ruining the institution of marriage and causing her to stray from her husband and engage in an "inappropriate relationship."

"On behalf of all gays and lesbians living in Minnesota, I would like to wholeheartedly apologize for our community's successful efforts to threaten your traditional marriage," reads the letter from John Medeiros. "We apologize that our selfish requests to marry those we love has cheapened and degraded traditional marriage so much that we caused you to stray from your own holy union for something more cheap and tawdry."

2. Who can blame him? It's just like what happened with Gingrich.

They love things so much, they can't be responsible for what happens.

3. Was she known as an anti-gay advocate?

4. From the article:

Koch, Brodkorb, and their fellow Republicans campaigned this year to put a constitutional amendment on next year's ballot to define marriage as the union between a man and a woman, thus forbidding gay marriage. Sadly, the amendment comes too late to prevent Koch from straying from her own marriage.

8. WTH is the problem with some of these pols?

How do they reconcile their public/political fight against same-sex marriage and homosexuality in general yet turn out to be GLBTQ themselves? Is it a self-loathing thing with these people or what? Massive denial? What? I wish that somebody could explain these to me.........right after somebody explains the existence of GLBTQ Republicans and, in particular, GLBTQ organizations that explicitly support Republicans.

12. It was a heterosexual affair.

But point taken. Basically, they just don't give a shit.

17. Oh

I had heard that it was with an "inappropriate relationship" staffer but I thought that for some reason it was with another woman.

Referring to the pic above, if you mess with the bull, sometimes you get the horns.

11. Brings to mind the wisdom of Mel Brooks:

"Rhetoric does not get you anywhere, because Hitler and Mussolini are just as good at rhetoric. But if you can bring these people down with comedy, they stand no chance."

13. No wonder Newt doesn't want their votes - they caused him to divorce 2 wives

probably worried he'll lose the 3rd wife because gays married somewhere out there

14. Well it's about time they took some responsibility and showed a little contrition...

[Aerows]

15. Umm

[treestar]

16. That just shows how ridiculous it is

Doesn't it?



Right wingers: if society as a whole does not follow their rules, they can't follow them. What a weak set of rules that must be.
