That bastion of journalistic taste, the New York Post, is running this
editorial cartoon today by dipwad cartoonist Sean Delonas.
This
isn't Delonas' first homophobic
masturbatory masterpiece.
Nice to know that the Post will pay this guy good money to insult gay men and
lesbians.
Delonas -- who claims to have gay friends (causing me to question his gay friends' taste in friends) -- also painted the altar painting for the Church of St. Agnes
in New York, according to his Web site. That
could explain quite a lot.
If you care to express how you
feel about your relationship being represented on the same par as bestiality by
the New York Post, I'm sure they'd be glad to hear from you. Write to them at

"Sean Delonas' humorless cartoon only perpetuates misconceptions about gay marriage. Sheep (as well as children, corpses, et al.) are incapable of adult consent and therefore cannot enter into a binding legal contract. The cartoon equates committed relationships with various forms of rape.
This is shamefully irresponsible journalism." GL
As an aspiring cartoonist and a gay man, i find this piece more confusing than insulting. I pride myself in being openminded but also in being direct...sometimes downright blunt. The artist's point in this cartoon isn't clear. While at first it appears he is mocking gay marriage, he could also be mocking it's adversaries by showing what they think might happen next...much like Stephen Colbert makes fun of Republicans by adamantly pretending to be one. Satire? perhaps. But then we do have to look at his other cartoons as well. Does he draw the gay people in his cartoons with that "leg up thing" to make fun of gays, or does he do it to make fun of that person? He could be associating these people with the gay stereotype to make fun of that person. I'm sure any gay man will agree there's a difference between a Gay man...and the F word. It's very hard to simply tell a man's intentions...especially if his actions CAN be found offensive. "Any order that can be misunderstood, has been."
I'm not standing up for the man, just saying that this could be misinterpreted. And if that is the case, it doesn't make him a bad person...just a bad cartoonist.
You've outdone yourself with this excellent posting. Thanks very much for the great photos and witty prose. Keep it up! the juice lady's guide to juicing for health
