Family Values

Once again a supposed champion of “morality” and “family values”, Harris County Texas District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal, has shown his true colors “following the discovery of e-mails containing sexually explicit videos, racist jokes and what is described as torrid love notes to his executive secretary.*” It is this very same hypocrite who defended sodomy laws for the state of Texas in Lawrence v Texas in 2002 and “argued before the US Supreme Court that the Texas law against sodomy was upholding the moral values of the state and was in place to protect families.*” Fortunately the majority of the Justices decided that the government had no place in the bedrooms of Americans.

I guess in Chuckie’s world, porking your secretary behind your wife’s back helps promote family stability and allows for a much deep commitment than simple monogamy would offer. If more husbands cheated on their wives, then perhaps the heterosexual divorce rate would not be around fifty percent. I think it’s high time the gay community took a lesson from Chuck if we ever want full equality in the form of marriage, so if you are gay and in a monogamous relationship, please consider cheating on your spouse so we can uphold the same gleaming standards that Rosenthal relied upon when he stood before the Supreme Court.
