After a married Minnesota state senator was
caught in an "inappropriate relationship" with a male staffer, she quit
her post as majority leader. And because Amy Koch was a staunch opponent
of gay marriage who had pushed to amend the state constitution toward
that end, the local gay community is not exactly sympathetic, notes City Pages.
It issued an open letter to her with an apology—off the charts on the sarcasm scale—for ruining her marriage.
"We
apologize that our selfish requests to marry those we love has cheapened
and degraded traditional marriage so much that we caused you to stray
from your own holy union for something more cheap and tawdry," writes a
gay group leader. "It is now clear to us that if we were not so
self-focused and myopic, we would have been able to see that the time
you wasted diligently writing legislation that would forever seal the
definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman, could
have been more usefully spent reshaping the legal definition of
adultery.'" BoingBoing has the full letter.
