What Do You Think?

Oh I would love it if this is for real. I might even save up to make the trip to NYC for the grand opening.

MY NEW GAY BAR

So, the Muslim investors championing the construction of the new mosque near Ground Zero claim it's all about strengthening the relationship between the Muslim and non-Muslim world.

As an American, I believe they have every right to build the mosque - after all, if they buy the land and they follow the law - who can stop them?

Which is, why, in the spirit of outreach, I've decided to do the same thing.

I'm announcing tonight, that I am planning to build and open the first gay bar that caters not only to the west, but also Islamic gay men. To best express my sincere desire for dialogue, the bar will be situated next to the mosque Park51, in an available commercial space.

This is not a joke. I've already spoken to a number of investors, who have pledged their support in this bipartisan bid for understanding and tolerance.

As you know, the Muslim faith doesn't look kindly upon homosexuality, which is why I'm building this bar. It is an effort to break down barriers and reduce deadly homophobia in the Islamic world.

The goal, however, is not simply to open a typical gay bar, but one friendly to men of Islamic faith. An entire floor, for example, will feature non-alcoholic drinks, since booze is forbidden by the faith. The bar will be open all day and night, to accommodate men who would rather keep their sexuality under wraps - but still want to dance.

Bottom line: I hope that the mosque owners will be as open to the bar, as I am to the new mosque. After all, the belief driving them to open up their center near Ground Zero, is no different than mine.

My place, however, will have better music.

I have to say that this article about the gay Muslim bar across from the Cordoba House, Islamic community center, Park51, Ground Zero mosque, or whatever they are calling the bloody thing this week, really annoys me.

I mean REALLY ANNOYS ME.

To the point that I actually lost a little sleep over it.

Oh not that someone thought about doing such a thing . . . I could care less about that.

What DOES really, REALLY annoy me is the fact that this write up tells me
I am getting OLD and SLOW . . .

because . . . and this is the really annoying part . . .

because . . . I did not think of the idea first.

dag-nab-it.
