So Massachusetts, that hotbed of immorality that sanctions Gay Marriage

has the lowest divorce rate. Seems red states have the highest. Sorry there's no link--I heard this twice on TV in the last hour.

1. Most of us know that the "morality" is all

skewed and the Bible thumpers are actually the bigots who forgot how to love!

2. Mark Shields said it on Capital Gang tonight...

I don't have a link either, but can confirm it was said. It was his "outrage of the week".

And we have pictures of gay and lesbian couples announcing their weddings in the same news papers as the straight couples and I haven't heard a word about it. As far as I know there has been no erosion of marriage. There has been no spike in divorce since gays could marry.

4. Texas apparently has a very high divorce rate AND teen pregnancy rate.

But the powers that be in Texas have just decided that the textbooks won't mention condoms - only abstinence will be mentioned.
