The best signs at the Supreme Court this morning
Lord Jesus it’s a fire.
Love.
Heard on the Subway: Talking about your gay son.
I was on my way to work, zoned out listening to some old school Shania Twain to get my life right, when two construction worker types got on the train at Penn Station. They were both middle-aged white guys with Long Island accents, mustaches, dirty jeans — the type of guys you’d expect to see on a building site. I caught a piece of their conversation when the music died before the song changed, and I decided to record them.
I’m not crying! You’re crying!
This house is directly across from Westboro Baptist Church, the notorious hate group. You know the one, with all the ”GOD HATES FAGS!” protest signs. The guys that protest the funerals of children, soldiers and celebrities. Yeah, those guys.
This house was bought a few months ago and turned into a LGBT rights group’s HQ. WBC had no idea… until today… when the group “came out” and painted the outside of the home with gay pride flag colors. Right. Across. The. Street.
Now, WBC has to look at that house. Every day. Every. Day. Rock on!

While perusing the women’s accessories at H&M
“Mommy, that boy is looking at girl’s things.”
She was a little blonde girl about six years old. Her mother looked up from perusing a selection of gaudy handbags and gave me an apologetic look. To further her embarrassment, her child looks me right in the eyes and asks, ”Hey! Why are you looking at girl’s things?!”
“I don’t think these things are just for girls,” I smiled. “Do you?”
“But they make girls pretty.”
“Sometimes boys can be pretty, too. Just like you.”
She thinks on it for a second and nods: “I guess that’s true.” Her mother picked up her child, smiled at me through her embarrassment and made a hasty exit. I smile back, letting her know it’s okay.
I have done the Lord’s work today.
…I believe that every Minnesotan should have the freedom to marry legally the person she or he loves, whether of the same or other sex.
Last year, Minnesotans began a conversation about why marriage matters, and we found our common belief that it is about love, commitment and responsibility. I want Minnesota to be a state which affirms that freedom for one means freedom for everyone, and where no one is told it is illegal to marry the person you love.
