This is what the anti-gay bigots are doing now, now that every single reputable organisation studying the family, children, etc show how boringly normal and usual same-sex parented familes are, they have to MAKE SHIT UP or, they quote single awful studies that every one of those organisations have either completely dismissed or simply laughed hysterically at.

And guess what? These bigots are scared shitless. Why? Because they know the same thing we do: us queers are gonna win :)

Oh, and I love John Stewart, me and my gf often watch him curled up in bed together, laughing our heads off :)

Jon Stewart is My Hero. He’s the reason I finally broke down and got cable after resisting all these years.

Texas legislators have a seemingly limitless tolerance for absurdity, and deserve as much mockery as possible! But at the risk of splitting hairs, the Texas legislation to which you allude, State Senate Bill 6, has not actually passed (yet); it’s currently back in committee, where a Rebublican senator, Jane Nelson, has vowed to expunge the anti-gay-foster-parents amendment from what began as a general foster care overhaul bill.

My favorite part of that clip is Jon’s seemingly genuine anger at Kira Phillips and Carol Lynn for their lie-enabling “on the one hand, on the other hand”? style of journalism.

From his crossfire appearance, and being a faithful watcher of Daily Show, I think it was genuine. And it’s my favorite thing about the show in general.

“Where might one find a link to a clip of this?”

Click on the GLAAD link and then look over to the right, under the Media sidebar. There will be a picture of Jon Stewart in the small article with a link at the end that says “view clip.” Hope that helps.

Here’s the chip on Comedy Central’s website. It’s after the story about Spain. It includes the made up fact that 11 times more abuse by homosexual households.

I wish TDS would do that sort of thing more often.
