Divorce is something that is roundly condemned in the Bible, and depending on the level of conservativeness of one’s place of worship, cohabitation – that is, lovers living together without being married; though sometimes even just opposite-sex individuals sharing an apartment counts, even if the two have no romantic connection – is just as taboo. So why is it that that gay marriage has church leaders worked into a froth that exceeds the other two by leaps and bounds? 

Because gay marriage is worse, of course.

That’s right, even though Jesus himself has literally nothing to say about same-sex marriage but explicitly says divorce is a no-no, nearly 50 high-level Catholic and evangelical leaders (including pastor Rick Warren and former NOM Head Maggie Gallagher) signed off on a 5000-word manifesto to be released in the March edition of conservative journal First Things that says,

[W]hat the state defines as marriage no longer embodies God’s purposes in creation. An easy acceptance of divorce damages marriage; widespread cohabitation devalues marriage. But so-called same-sex marriage is a graver threat, because what is now given the name of marriage in law is a parody of marriage.

Of course, no anti-gay screed is complete without mention of the good men and women who have lost their livelihoods for standing up for what is right:

[Some people] are already being censured and others have lost their jobs because of their public commitment to marriage as the union of a man and a woman.

Of course, no one has lost their jobs because of their public commitment to heterosexual marriage; they have lost their jobs for refusing to abide by the laws of the land, which in most places now mandate recognition of civil gay marriages, which is a very different thing. But what does the truth matter? It’s not like the bible has any mandate against lying, right? At least, not a mandate that’s any more explicit and important than the nearly 20 passages about divorce?

Other than that one.

Bruce Jenner will discuss his transition from male to female in an interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer, according to CBS News.

Just last week, multiple sources confirmed that Jenner was in fact transitioning and would come out as transgender. The news came after heavy media speculation as to Jenner’s changing appearance that included the publication of a controversial photoshopped image of Jenner on the cover of gossip rag In Touch showing Jenner with lipstick, blush and more feminine clothing. 

Jenner, 65, will also appear in a reality series that will follow his transition closely. The series will air shortly after his interview with Sawyer. From CBS:

The interview is slated to air in May, Page Six reports, with portions of it set to begin filming this week.

Jenner’s transition is also being filmed for an unscripted series to air on E!, the network home of “Keeping up with the Kardashians” and other Kardashian-Jenner family shows.

“The world will see his full transformation,” a source told Us Weekly. “It’s a docuseries featuring the Jenner family talking about Bruce ‘coming out.”

Last week, Kim Kardashian told “Entertainment Tonight” that Jenner is now “the happiest I’ve ever seen him.”

“I think everyone goes through things in life, and I think that story and what Bruce is going through, I think he’ll share whenever the time is right,” she added. “I feel like that’s his journey to talk about.”
