Standing in the shadows too long

Poofs are everywhere in the news lately, it seems!

• The American courts are deliberating over us.
• The French loony religious right is protesting about us.
• It seems Lech Walesa's support for civil rights does not extend to gays.
• Less importantly, dubiously-talented "singer" Michelle Shocked hates us.
• The new Pope (unsurprisingly) dismisses us as demonic (in public, at least).
• But, of course, Our Glorious Leader Madonna loves us!

As Pamala Stanley says, we're Coming Out Of Hiding...

It's a long weekend, peeps! Have a gay one!
