Gays first, divorcees next?

Geez, if this story is true, that would mean there won't be a lot of people who are welcome at the White House - and some who are already there that should be packing their bags.

London's Sunday Sun reports that the White House has scuttled plans by Prince Charles to take Camilla on a Royal tour of the US later this year after they marry in a civil ceremony.

The Sun reports that the Royal household was told that Camilla, who will have the title Her Royal Highness Princess Consort after Charles becomes king, is not welcome at the White House because she is a divorcee.

The reports do no mention that Charles is also a divorcee.

The President, according to sun told palace aides it was "inappropriate" for him to be play host to the newly-weds.

The paper notes that the decision was made even though the late President Ronald Reagan was divorced. The Sun quotes a government insider as saying "It was relayed to us from Washington that Mrs Parker Bowles would not be welcome at the White House.

I suspect the decision has more to do with the fact that there was a royal scandal involved than just that Camilla is a divorcee. She's a divorcee that was having an affair with the Prince the whole while he was married to the Princess.

A Government insider said: "It was relayed to us from Washington that Mrs Parker Bowles would not be welcome at the White House.

"The Americans are aware that the visit will be subject to a lot of media attent ion and did not want the President drawn into what they view to be a public relations exercise.

"It's now uncertain if the visit will even go ahead."

It's inappropriate for him to host divorcees, but not tyrants and fellow torturers.

There is something so completely turned about in this country that we can look at same-sex marriage and sexual affairs as abominations but we can sit around a legal table to discuss just how far one can torture another human being, and by which methods, and still be justified.
