It’s good to know that government officials like White House Press Secretary Tony Snow and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales like to spend a relaxing weekend with Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity at fun get-togethers like the “Value Voter Summit”, where speakers called gays “faggots” and said they came from “the pit of hell itself”, and suggested that the Anti-Christ is gay.

Now, I don’t want to get off on a rant here, but but let’s look at this critically. Their reasoning that the anti-christ is gay is because of a line from the Book of Daniel which supposes that the anti-christ will not want to lie with women. Well, I suppose that lets Bill Clinton off the hook. Are they sure they really want to do that? Since Clinton is now suddenly responsible for 9/11, I’d think you’d want to go the step further all the way to Anti-Christ-dom.

Or, the anti-christ could be a straight woman. There was a time when both right and left wingers could have agreed on calling Tipper Gore the anti-christ. Why can’t we have a return to those halycon days?

A quick scan of an authoritative, reliable source of information turns up no mention of the Anti-Christ having a great fashion sense, knowing the best clubs, and being a good cook, so despite the best intentions of the Christian right, that pretty much definitively makes the anti-christ not gay. At least until the premiere of “Queer Eye for the Anti-Christ Guy”.
