According to the official newspaper of the Archdiocese of Boston, Satan made you gay just to piss off God. In other words, the scientific evidence of how same-sex attraction most likely may be created provides a credible basis for a spiritual explanation that indicts the devil. Any time natural disasters occur, we as people of faith look back to Scripture’s …

Earlier this week I reported that the Archdiocese of Boston had moved to cancel a planned “All Are Welcome” Catholic mass in honor of gay Pride. Yesterday the Boston Globe reported that the local priest behind the idea is standing up to his bosses. Sunday Mass at St. Cecilia’s Church in the Back Bay brought the first standing ovation any …

After being criticized that it was “endorsing” Gay Pride Month, the Archdiocese of Boston has forced the cancellation of a planned “All Are Welcome” mass at a local church. In its most recent bulletin, St. Cecilia Parish said that it had planned a “liturgy to commemorate Boston Pride 2011’’ for later this month. “The Rainbow Ministry of St. Cecilia Parish …

At the urging of a very young fan, the Boston Red Sox have agreed to become the third major league sports team to record an “It Gets Better” video. The Advocate reports: Sam Maden, a 12-year-old Sox fan, petitioned the team via Change.org to create a video for the project, founded by Dan Savage and Terry Miller as a way …

The Boston Pops writes us today to invite JMG readers to participate in a Judy Garland tribute. Post a YouTube clip of yourself singing Over The Rainbow and you may be featured in their “national choir collage” to be played at Boston Pops performances all this season.

Their first record in 24 years. Like time stood still.

In mid-December a couple staged a flash mob wedding at Boston’s Prudential Center. Stick around for the vows at 4:00 when the pastor includes gay couples as those deserving of marriage and love.

Longtime Boston Herald sportswriter Steve Buckley came out in a column published today. An excerpt: I’ve put this off long enough. I haven’t been fair to my family, my friends or my co-workers. And I certainly haven’t been fair to myself: For too many years I’ve been on the sidelines of Boston’s gay community but not in the game — …

President Obama was heckled by AIDS activists during a speech in Boston on Saturday, prompting the president to fire back. The President appeared uncharacteristically upset as, mid-sentence, a group of folks in the crowd began to loudly object to his speech as he described the work his administration had done for AIDS research. As the crowd turned their heads up …

“It seemed a real danger that the boy being raised by the same-sex couple would bring to school something obscene or pornographic, or refer to such things in conversation, as they go along with the same-sex lifestyle, which–as not being related to procreation– is inherently eroticized and pornographic. He might expose other children to such things, as he might easily …

Well, this is pleasantly shocking. In reaction to yesterday’s news that the son of two lesbian moms was denied enrollment at a Catholic school, the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston has issued a letter saying that it will not fund any school with a discriminatory admissions policy. Any such practice “is at odds with our values as a foundation, the intentions …

As I noted earlier today, fake teabaggers are infiltrating Tea Party rallies around the country. The above pranksters attended the Boston rally where Sarah Palin spoke. World Net Daily is displeased and has posted links to the fakers’ Flickr accounts.

Rachel Maddow took out a full-page ad in today’s Boston Globe in which she derides Sen. Scott Brown for his claims that she is going to run for his Senate seat. “I’m not running against Scott Brown,” Maddow said. “I never said I was running against Scott Brown. The Massachusetts Democratic Party never asked me to run against Scott Brown. …

Linguists have long noted the slow demise of regional American accents, a phenomenon partially blamed on the “television accent” and partially blamed on the perception that such accents denote a working class origin, leading some to accent reduction training. The NYC accent in particular is thought by many to be especially crude, wrought as is with a uniquely colorful vernacular. …
