In the News

I'm sure most people have heard about Michael Glatze, a gay-rights leader, coming out as straight recently. But maybe you haven't read his story on WorldNetDaily, he talks about working for magazines aimed at young gay Americans, the 16 years of his life he spent as a gay man, and how forming a relationship with God showed him the truth.
On speaking out on the gay-rights movement he says:
If I could take back some of the things I said, I would. Now I know that homosexuality is lust and pornography wrapped into one. I'll never let anybody try to convince me otherwise, no matter how slick their tongues or how sad their story. I have seen it. I know the truth.
Full article here, it's worth the read, really.

In lighter news, a dozen 7-Elevens across the nation have been converted to Kwik-E-Marts to promote The Simpsons Movie. dhepnar has some nice pictures from the one in Canada on Flickr, I especially like the "Thank you for loitering..." sign. A list of the altered stores can be found here. I really want to go to one, but the closest is 6 hours away. They are supposed to have special snack foods and Squishees (which I'm sure is just a regular ol' Slurpee in a different cup, unfortunately) at all 7-Eleven locations though. Actually, I don't even know where the nearest 7-Eleven is, I can't even find one near me on the locator on the site.

Edit: If you go here, this flickr user has collected links to photo sets from all the different Kwik-E-Marts. And there is also a Kwik-E-Mart group on Flickr (though it only has 24 members).

  3. ryan, I used to love 7-11, but now I can't find a single one near here for the life of me.

    Hmm, Simpsons Vans, I hadn't heard about that. I just googled it though, and I'm glad to see they went with more of their old school style shoe models for them. But I won't be getting any either.
