POPSJodie Comes Out Guess what conservative America? There are so many gays and lesbians in your own families. In fact, I doubt there's on American family today that doesn't count at least one gay or lesbian member somewhere in its ranks. Count them--and then love them. Isn't it totally un-Christ-like to turn against your own son or daughter, or brother or sister, just because he or she happens to be gay, lesbian, or bisexual? What difference does it make? He may be gay, but he's still your son. She may be a lesbian, but she's still your daughter. Sure, evangelical ministers and conservative politicians will continue to denounce homosexuality from the pulpit and urge parishioners to join them in denying equal rights to gays and lesbians. And some poor misguided souls will blindly agree. But their hate speech will eventually fail, as people realize those attacks are directed against the people they love the most, their family members.

POPSIt's In The Kiss Is not a kiss the very autograph of love? ~Henry Finck 'Twas not my lips you kissed But my soul ~Judy Garland Kissing is like drinking salted water.

POPSWhat Is Like To Be Beautiful? I've often wondered what it felt like to be so beautiful that people look at you with admiration, heads turn, and I've wondered about the satisfaction that must come from looking in the mirror. I do know this: Physical beauty fades.

POPSTrain drove over 2 Dead Drunk Men. "When the driver stopped, he saw two heads underneath the train." Well two heads are better than one or non. Note the sentence despite "the court hearing that one had 33 previous convictions while the other had 63 previous convictions." 5,000 plus Brazilian fans, most of them resident in Ireland, cheered Brazil to victory in the 80,000 capacity Croke Park.

POPSJoey "Speak English" Vento (Geno's Cheesesteaks) does not represent South Philly
A student of history, Jacovini can talk at length about Italian-Americans in the civil rights movement and how Italian-Americans were the second most likely group to be lynched in the South. He describes how in the 1870s—in the streets of Northern Liberties and South Philly—Philadelphia's native (aka English) Americans fought Gangs of New York-style battles with the Irish. And how the Irish in turn refused to let the newly arrived Italians use their Catholic churches. Today, “the cycle of the last person who came into the country stepping on the next person to come into the country has been broken. That's the real story.” He points to how the pastor of St. Paul's invited Mexican South Philadelphians to carry a statue of Our Lady of Guadeloupe—the patron saint of Mexico—in the traditional (and very Italian) procession of saints. “To me, this was the Italian community's way of welcoming their new Mexican neighbors. I'm proud because no one welcomed us when we first arrived.
