It's Friday and after all of the horrible news around the world ... especially Baltimore ... and that guy who hung up on the Pope TWICE DURING THE SAME PHONE CALL ... can you spell J.E.R.R.Y. R.A.I.N.Y.? ... I am happy to report there is Good News on Tybee Island!
First though, I like Pope Francis!
He's "Sinner Friendly" and who doesn't like that?
Well ... T.D. Jakes, Joel Osteen and his bleach blond wife, Charles Stanley, and the Tybee Island Methodist Church who uses crime scene tape for worship don't ... but Pope Francis is great!
"You've sinned ... I've sinned ... everybody loves sin!"
"I scream ... you scream ... we all scream for ice cream?"
That's Pope Francis's message.
What's not to like?
After the racist debacle of "Orange Crush" ... where the citizens of Lewis Avenue stole barricades from the Georgia Department of Transportation to block black people from driving down their street ... things have gotten better.
While Tybee Island doesn't like black people ... Tybee Island LOVES GAY PEOPLE!
It makes me proud.
Not the first part about black people but the second part about Gay People.
It's Gay Days on Tybee and honestly ... the entire island is mostly financed by Gay People ... though politicians and Church officials deny this.
The island's mostly Lesbian ... they ran most of the Gay guys off ... but occasionally invite them back to dance ... they do a really excellent job of maintaining the things about living on an island that you really love about island living in the first place.
They have great parties ... much better than anything the American Legion throws.
Tomorrow's a Gay Pride Parade and everyone is looking forward to it.
Sarah, the girls and I will be there!
We can't wait to celebrate island acceptance.
There's only one thing that worries me ... I hope there are no black Gays here ... the island will go nuts.
We're a tiny island and can only stand so much.
