An excerpt from Dan Savage’s Savage Love:

But when a pope says something stupid about heterosexuality, straight Americans go deaf. And this pope had plenty to say about heterosexual sex—no contraceptives, no premarital sex, no blowjobs, no jerkin’ off, no divorce, no remarriage, no artificial insemination, no blowjobs, no three-ways, no swinging, no blowjobs, no anal. Did I mention no blowjobs? John Paul II had more “no’s” for straight people than he did for gays. But when he tried to meddle in the private lives of straights, the same people who deferred to his delicate sensibilities where my rights were concerned suddenly blew the old asshole off. Gay blowjobs are expendable, it seems; straight ones are sacred.

I’m not as anti-religion as, say, some think Bill Maher is (on the list of guys I love, btw). But if you are going to be Catholic and use it as your excuse for disapproving of the lives of others, than you should be Catholic. You should listen to every man made rule you pretend is sent down from God.

And what’s with the Pope trading cards at all the churches? People are running to church to get these litte Pope cards. People who never go to church. Why don’t they have any keychains? At least you know what to do with a keychain. They actually might have keychains. I just don’t know about it.

Does anyone have a Pope keychain?
