"Dear Pat Robertson"

You don't get to see many photos of Rev. Pat Robertson hanging out with gay guys, but this story from The Advocate has one.

This went beyond a funny prank, however. One of the five men in the picture, Andrew Brewer, took the opportunity of their brief connection to write a letter and reach out to Robertson.

The letter is printed in full in The Advocate piece, but here's the part that really struck me:

"The hypocrisy of using his name to marginalize men like us--at times making our lives excruciatingly difficult--while directly and blatantly contradicting his very clear teachings is both bold and unfathomable. "

You'll need to click on the link to see what Brewer was referring to. I bet you'll read it and go "hmmmm."

  1. Append to the "Dear Pat Robertson" letter:

    Oh yeah, and by the way... Nonsequitur says that his parents are very impressionable and he wishes that you wouldn't use your religious TV program to twist their ideals while attempting to sponge their hard-earned money.


    *Oh, I'm sorry, was that snarky? :)*
