So I don't know if this is even an appropriate diary, but I'm going for it anyway because you guys are the smartest, most eloquent guys and gals I know (please help me, please help me, please help me!).

I am a member of a few online forums for military spouses. There are more than a few, shall we say, Bush lovin' bible thumpin' neo-cons. Recently a topic came up about a transgendered person. The discussion, of course, started to go downhill when a few "devout" people started quoting scripture as to why homosexuals are an abomination in the eyes of God.

I occasionally get email alerts from a site called LifeNews - one of those fundie hate sites. A sorta know thine enemy approach to keeping up with things. They just sent out an action alert because the Jacksonville Jaguars Foundation has given a grant to the Planned Parenthood of Northeast Florida.

Have you ever had a really nosy next-door neighbor? Someone always looking in the windows to see if you’re home or telling you how to plant your vegetables? Really making a nuisance out of herself just because she can? Well, it seems the Virginia General Assembly is the new Gladys Cravitz on the block.

Joe Darby was a reserve soldier with US forces at Abu Ghraib prison who saw and then anonymously reported the infamous "torture pictures." Well, at least he was promised anonymity. Darby was scared of retribution from the accused soldiers...what he should have been frightened of was the length this administration will go through to silence a critic.silence a critic

The opening of the NYT article says, "Twenty soldiers deployed to Iraq from this Army base were killed in May, a monthly high. That same month, the base announced a change in how it would honor its dead: instead of units holding services after each death, they would be held collectively once a month."

The United States has the highest rate of unintended pregnancy (three million per year) and sexually transmitted infections (19 million per year) of any Western nation. Accordingly, Trojan, one of America’s leading condom producers, has launched an advertising and public information campaign to reframe people’s perceptions about using condoms and start a much-needed dialogue about sexual health in America. "Evolve" is the campaign’s title and it is meant to convey the message that people who are sexually active should take steps to protect and respect each other. Obviously, using condoms is an important part of this approach.

I saw something on TV yesterday that kept me up a good portion of the rest of the night. After I put my little monster men to bed, I was flipping through, trying to get some sense of the news of the day when I stumbled across Nancy Grace. I haven't really liked watching her since the whole Terri Schiavo case, even if she is a Georgia Gal, but I was blindsided by the news of a man who tried to microwave his 2 month-old baby. He had refrigerated her and hit her as well. A 2 month-old baby people! There was the accompanying drama such as his wife saying the devil made him do it and him saying the baby was actually walking toward a hot coffee pot and accidentally spilled it on herself...lots of extra details to make the whole story even more horrid. I couldn't help but start to cry. The idea of a grown up being so vicious to such a little precious baby just destroyed me.
