Revisiting Homosexuality

And for sure, gay marriage has plenty of supporters, as bloggers trip all over themselves to see who can be the most vocally supportive and fawning of homosexuality.

Do You See Something Wrong With This PHOTO???

It's sort of hard to see, but at the base of the tree is a 15 pound tabby cat, and at the very top of the tree is a black bear. Come to find out, Jack the Cat chased a bear up the tree -- not once, but twice -- as he endeavored to protect his territory from strangers. This happened in a West... Sign in to see full entry.
