It's not quite Error Message 404...

I have no reason to assume that anybody anywhere who might ever want to rise to any level of respectability might even consider linking to my humble little web site -- or linking to a web site which contains a link to a web site which contains a link to a web site which does -- but I'd hate to be responsible for scandalizing some gay-friendly pastor or politician or middle school principal thanks to the efforts of homophobes such as the ones who attempted to stop the election of Bishop V. Gene Robinson in the American Episcopal Church.

For those of you unfamiliar with the story, in addition to the complaint by one David Lewis of Concord, Vermont, that Canon Robinson had (gasp!) put a hand on Lewis' shoulder while counseling him (do you suppose Lewis filed a complaint with the police?), others in the effort to derail Robinson's election as bishop of the New Hampshire diocese charged that the web site of a group Robinson helped found for LGBTQ Episcopalian youth contained a link to a gay porn site. As it turned out, the outright.org web site contained no direct links to any gay porn, but one of the sites it did have a link to had a link to another site which linked to another site which... well, you get the idea.

As the Robinson case shows (and, for that matter, the Clinton Impeachment, too), the right wing is obsessed with finding sex scandals to bring down anybody they don't like. They are tireless in their pursuit of titillation -- not for their own prurient interests, of course, no, no -- and will conflate whatever tiny little peccadillo they can find into a bulging, throbbing monster ...

Ooh, I'd better stop right now......................... before this turns back into pornography and gets my e-butt blocked from every library computer Attorney General Gonzales can get his e-paws on.

Besides, as fun as the exercise of drawing the human form can be, it's not what this web site is about. I'll leave that to real artists (you know, the ones whose idea of a political statement is flinging dung onto a painting of the Virgin Mary) and pornmongers (you know, the ones who get turned on by paintings of the Virgin Mary covered in dung).
