Charlotte, North Carolina (The Adobo Chronicles) – First, Texas Governor Rick Perry compared being gay to alcolohism, telling a San Francisco audience last June that one can choose to stay away from both.

Then, North Carolina Republican Congressman Robert Pittenger said in Charlotte that lighting up a cigarette is a lot like firing someone for being gay — everyone ahould be able to do it.

Finally, to complete the vice trilogy, Minnesotta Representative Michele Bachmann told a senior citizen audience in Minneapolis today that homosexuality is no different from gambling. “You win some, you lose some. But mostly you lose ” she said, refusing to elaborate on what she meant by her statement.

Now the Republican assault on homosexuality is complete. However, as an unintended consequence, tobacco, alcohol and gaming companies have all announced that they were pulling all future campaign contributions to Republican candidates. They also said they will release a master list of Republican candidates who have received campaign funds from them since elections were invented.

Rainbow-colored pedestrian crosswalk on Santa Monica and San Vicente Boulevards in West Hollywood

West Hollywood, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – In just the last 15 months, four pedestrians crossing the streets of West Hollywood have reportedly been killed — all of whom were hit by motorists.

In addition to the deaths, several people have been injured, including a man hit by a car early Tuesday just steps away from popular gay establishments like the Abbey and P.U.M.P. Lounge. He is the third persons hit by a car on Santa Monica Boulevard since June this year.

West Hollywood Police investigating the rising number of pedestrian accidents said that all cases seem to point to road rage and that all perpetrators were homophobic drivers.

One of the perpetrators, a West Hollywood resident, told police he is outraged at the shameless display of homosexuality in his neighborhood, particularly the painting of crosswalks in rainbow colors. “Not all of us who live in West Hollywood are homosexual,” the man said,” so why do they have to flaunt their gay-ness when it does not represent all of us in the neighborhood?”

Crosswalks in San Francisco’s gay Castro district are also scheduled to be painted in rainbow colors and residents are weary that it could lead to hate-related pedestrian accidents similar to those in West Hollywood.
