Antonia Zerbisias has been a Star columnist since 1989 but has been telling people what she thinks ever since she could open her mouth. Her career ambition as an opinionator dates back to Grade 9 when a cartoon commentary on a teacher resulted in her suspension from high school. The principal sent her home with a note calling her "rude, obstreperous and bold." Her parents were neither amused, nor surprised. Once she was punished for being that way. Now she makes it pay. And, because she can take it as well as dish it out, she wants to hear what you have to say. Fire away!
Boy, that was laughable but scary. Why do you think I moved from California to Florida, because of a divorce. Maybe if I would have stayed we might still be arguing about whether it was 'legal' to get a divorce. Huh?
By the way, when was the last time you saw a Babylonian? I don't believe in divorce either, I know the pain it causes and I will do whatever it takes to make it work, that is my promise to the lucky woman in my 'new life'. Any takers? (Does Shania read this paper?) Have a great evening.

Something worse than when homophobes try to be funny is when they decide it's time to get serious. I think they say more humourous things when they are not trying to be funny. Like the last time I asked an anti-same sex marriage voter why he doesn't seem to like gay people. He said, "Because they give me the willies."
I do not understand the involvement of American bishops with the Stupak amendment, but the Catholic Church in America seems to be saying more constructive things about same-sex unions. Even though they Church still opposes same-sex marriage, it does not appear to be seeking denial of equal rights under secular law to same-sex couples. It sounds like the Church might be content with (or at least would not actively oppose) equal civil rights extended to men and women in same-sex unions, as long as those unions are not called "marriages." In the Washington Post less than a month ago, Washington Archbishop Donald W. Wuerl wrote, "We are asking that new language be developed that more fairly balances different interests -- those of the city to redefine marriage and those of faith groups so that they can continue to provide services without compromising their deeply held religious teachings and beliefs."
