Say What Now of the Day: Pastor Charles L. Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church in Maiden, North Carolina, went on an anti-President Obama rant earlier this month during a sermon. Then he got off topic:
I figured a way to get rid of all the lesbians and queers. Build a great, big, large fence — 150- or 100-mile-long — put all the lesbians in there… Do the same thing with the queers and the homosexuals and have that fence electrified so they can’t get out… And you know what, in a few years, they’ll die.
He ended his sermon with this thought:
God have mercy. It makes me pukin’ sick to think about — I don’t even whether or not to say this in the pulpit — can you imagine kissing some man?
Notice the “Amens” from the congregation throughout.

Quote of the Day: “I’m not transgender. I. Am. A. Boy,” says 5-year-old Tyler, who born a girl. He first insisted he was a boy at the age of 2, and eventually was diagnosed with gender identity disorder.
Now, his parents allow him to present himself as a boy, and Tyler’s mom doesn’t think he’s going through a phase (though doctors say many children with gender identity disorder eventually switch back to their biological gender). “I just want my child to be happy,” she says.
Don’t miss the video and pic gallery that help tell Tyler’s story.

Another Movie Trailer of the Day: And the breast cancer awareness backlash continues, with film festival darling Pink Ribbons, Inc. making its stateside debut June 1. The Canadian documentary shows how the movement has become the poster child of corporate cause-related marketing campaigns, and frankly, the trailer alone is enough to change the way you think about the Susan G. Komen foundation: “If people actually knew what was happening, they would be really pissed off.”
Say What Now of the Day: Under fire this week from gay rights activists for a Sunday sermon in which he encouraged parents in his congregation to assault their kids if they showed signs of being gay, North Carolina pastor Sean Harris now claims he only was trying to be funny:
The second you see your son dropping that limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist. Man up. Give him a good punch.
Harris, who was preaching about gay marriage ahead of the state’s upcoming vote on Amendment One, defended his support of the legislation, if not his poor choice of words. “What I do stand by is that the word of God makes it clear that effeminate behavior is ungodly,” Harris said. “I’m not going to compromise on that.”

Single-Serving Site of the Day: More than 4,000 street portraits have been taken for the Humans of New York Project, “an effort to create a photographic census of the city of New York.”
A highlight from the Tumblr:
I found this man on 7th Avenue in Park Slope. He was leaning heavily on his cane, looking down, wearing a grimaced face. I felt bad for him, so I smiled and waved when I walked past. His face changed completely. He lit up, smiled wide, and gave me a cheery greeting. There was nothing forced about it. He seemed like a man who went through life looking for the smallest excuses to be happy.
I walked 50 feet down the sidewalk, turned around, and walked back to him. “I want to take your photo,” I told him, “because of how big you smiled when I walked by.”
He said: “Well I saw someone smiling at me who I didn’t even know. So I thought: ‘By God! I Better do something!’”

Anti-Bullying Stand of the Day: In a courageous move for the newspaper industry, Iowa’s Sioux City Journaldevoted the entirety of its Sunday front page to an editorial about a local gay teen who recently committed suicide. Kenneth Weishuhn, just 14, was “a kind-hearted, fun-loving teenage boy,” the editorial reads.
“This is not a failure of one group of kids, one school, one town, one county or one geographic area. Rather, it exposes a fundamental flaw in our society, one that has deep-seated roots. Until now, it has been too difficult, inconvenient — maybe even painful — to address. But we can’t keep looking away.”
Beautifully played.
