Gerry Schramm:  

nts had a shotgun wedding; he was born in a barn to a teenaged mom; his real dad never spoke to him; his step dad just kind of disappeared; his only friends were a hooker, tax collectors, and out-of-work fishermen; his death was a public spectacle; one of his closest buds ratted him out; he died a virgin, even though he was friends with a hooker; and even after he rose from the dead that asshole Thomas needed more proof of his divinity. All that AND his birthday was on Christmas, so you know he always got screwed out of some presents. Why is it that Hollywood applauds actors for having the courage to play a homosexual in a movie but has created a culture of fear that keeps gay and lesbian actors in the closet? How does that work, exactly? All day long you see people performing basic functions poorly: writing, driving, walking, speaking. But you never see anyone riding a bike poorly. It’s either you know how to ride a bike or you don’t know how. What is that all about? Know what you never see? Beatles disks in the used bin. Know what else you never see? A homeless Hasidic Jew. And I own two cats.
