Wall Street Journal's Best of the Web
shows an impressive amount of geek-fu.
For your enjoyment, I'll excerpt the relevant item.
'You Came in That Thing? You're Braver Than I Thought.'
The Associated Press reports from Gillette, Wyo.:
Leah Vader and Lynne Huskinson, a lesbian couple who got married in Canada last August, sent a letter recently to their state legislator decrying a Wyoming bill that would deny recognition of same-sex marriages. The lawmaker read the letter on the floor of the Legislature.
Soon after, the local paper interviewed the couple on Ash Wednesday and ran a story and pictures of them with ash on their foreheads, a mark of their Roman Catholic faith.
It wasn't long after that that the couple received a notice from their parish church telling them they have been barred from receiving Communion. . . .
Huskinson questioned why Catholics having premarital sex and using birth control are not barred from receiving Communion, too. But the parish priest said the difference is this: The other Catholics are "not going around broadcasting, `Hey I'm having sex outside of marriage' or `I'm using birth control.' "
Not being Catholic, we have no dog in this fight, but we were surprised to hear that Leah Vader is a lesbian. She seemed so happy with Han Solo!
Quick survey: In continuing the Star Wars theme, what character should be associated with Leah Vader's life-partner/significant other/insert your own euphemism for the "spouse" of a bogus same-sex "marriage" here.
Where are you Amish-Wan Kenobi? You're my only hope.
