SO maybe Rove, Bush, et al AREN'T homophobes -- they're self-haters -- or maybe, like Monkey Boy, Rove has his own daddy issues

Via Boing-Boing's presentation of the essay:

"I'm the proud owner of Karl Rove’s father’s solid gold cock ring."

(Piercing pioneer Jim Ward, who in 1975 launched what is now considered America's first contemporary body piercing business (The Gauntlet), remembers Louis "Indy" Rove, an early body modification enthusiast who is identified as the adoptive father of Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove. The elder Mr. Rove had (at least) 37 piercings, most of which were in his genitals, all performed by Mr. Ward.

Which then leads us to THESE links:
"New book reveals Karl Rove's Father Was Gay"

and

"The Closets of Karl and Ken"

and this CBS News link

which is slow and overloaded and may fail.

So, while I know some wonderful kids with one or two gay parents, I guess, for the people who know Mr Rove personally, perhaps he is the reason why people think having a gay parent will turn the child into a monster.
