George Clinton (I really hope it was the George Clinton) emailed me with this link to a story about anti-gay bigots in Latvia. The city of Riga refused to issue a permit for a gay pride parade, but that wasn't good enough for these cretins. They couldn't even let a group of gay rights activists attend church in peace. On the way out, they threw eggs at them and dumped bags of feces over their heads.
Anti-gay demonstrators hurled feces and eggs at gay rights activists and their supporters who were leaving a church service in the Latvian capital on Saturday.
About 20 protesters had gathered outside the Anglican church in Riga where gay activists, who had been denied a permit to stage a gay pride parade, were attending a service. A handful of the protesters lobbed eggs and emptied bags of feces on the churchgoers as they walked out the building.
"I think Latvia got a little smaller today," said Anglican Latvian-American pastor Juris Calitis, who said he, too, was struck by waste. He accused Latvian churches of stirring up anti-gay sentiment in the Baltic country.
Praise the Lord; that's just what Jesus would do.

Yeah, some of Bush's New Europe sure does make one question the wisdom of letting them into the Union...
In related news, Poland want the Charter of Human Rights amended to allow for death penalty:

Now what kind of person does it take to get up in the morning, get ready for church, and say, "Hey, I think I should pack up some feces to throw on the gay people there..." Jebus.
I have the image of a fanatic stooping over an empty bag, trying his hardest to "shit...for THE LORD!"
Well, I guess we can take this as a stunning act of honesty on the gay-bashers' part: they're giving all they have to the public debate, and showing their true colors.
Hmm... flinging feces at one's enemies is a long-standing simian tradition. Evidence for evolution?
