I don’t care about whether Lauren Beth’s gay marriage broke up. I don’t care if she gets a divorce.
So why post this ridiculous story about a lesbian marriage gone bad? To illustrate a point about our media. All media. Including “conservative” news media outlets.
Don’t get distracted. We don’t have the time or the luxury.

Lesbian Granted Same-Sex Marriage in Calif. Wants to Force Miss. to Grant Her Divorce
Lauren Beth Czekala-Chatham wants to force Mississippi, one of the America’s most conservative states, to recognize her same-sex marriage. She hopes to do so by getting a divorce.
She and Dana Ann Melancon traveled from Mississippi to San Francisco to get married in 2008. The wedding was all Czekala-Chatham hoped it would be, the Golden Gate Bridge in the background, dreams for a promising future. She wrote the vows herself.
The couple bought a house together in Walls, a town of about 1,100 in northern Mississippi’s DeSoto County in June 2009. But the marriage was tumultuous and, like so many others, it didn’t last.
Czekala-Chatham, a 51-year-old credit analyst and mother of two teenage sons from an earlier straight marriage, filed for divorce in chancery court in September. She wants to force Mississippi to recognize the same-sex marriage for the purpose of granting the divorce.
“It’s humiliating to know that you spend that money, that time to be in a committed relationship and for it to end. I mean, that hurts. But then to be in a state that doesn’t recognize you as a human being, or recognize you for who you are, for who you love, it’s hard,” Czekala-Chatham said during an interview at her current home in Hernando. “I’m not treated like the neighbors next door. I’m treated like a second-class citizen.”
I agree who gives a “heck”. These distractions the news media puts out are just stupidity for the sheepel to become absorbed in and lull them to sleep. Screw this junk tabloid media stuff. Change the channel or turn the TV off.
The problem is that the media source for this story is not a junk tabloid outlet.
True but there is no difference in the outcome. Jodie Arius, George Zimmerman and all the other stories on TV just keep coming.
Sadly though the world turns and there is no longer a safe place in this country where we can get away from the effects of the current moral decay like this article.
David, I for one appreciate all your knowledge and efforts. Thank you. I eagerly await you blogs on many subjects and agree with you.
