Grinning Time

It's news like this that brings warmth into my cold, dead heart. And from my home flyover state, no less:

OKLAHOMA CITY -- An executive committee member of the Southern Baptist Convention was arrested on a lewdness charge for propositioning a plainclothes policeman outside a hotel, police said.

Lonnie Latham, senior pastor at South Tulsa Baptist Church, was booked into Oklahoma County Jail Tuesday night on a misdemeanor charge of offering to engage in an act of lewdness, police Capt. Jeffrey Becker said. Latham was released on $500 bail Wednesday afternoon.

Latham, who has spoken out against homosexuality, asked the officer to join him in his hotel room for oral sex. Latham was arrested and his 2005 Mercedes automobile was impounded, Becker said.

I wish I hadn't resolved to use emoticond in this blog, because frankly, I'm not sure if the words HA FUCKING HA properly convey my delight in watching a piece of human fecal matter get exactly what it deserves.

Maybe he can turn to a gay support group for help when all the sheeple he brainwashed yell homophobic slurs at him, spraypaint his car, set burning crosses on his lawn, and all the other stuff that those paragons of Christian virtue are wont to do.

Of course, I'd like it very much if they proved me wrong by accepting him for who he is - a closeted gay man very likely tormented by his own inner guilt and demons because of a world he himself helped to create - but I sincerely doubt that will happen. Of course, I've been surprised before.
