"When the Lord Closes a Door, Somehow He Opens a Window"

By Zamboni

We cats never thought we'd say this, but it looks like Sarah Palin is right. The Lord has cracked open a door... Or, um, something like that.

One week after voters overturned it in California, gay marriage has become law in Connecticut. Wow, Fraulein Maria! What would the Reverend Mother have to say about that?

We're not sure. But we wonder how people like Governor Palin — who seems to believe that God will personally determine the course of her political career — feel about the Connecticut decision. After all, if God has such an active hand in Republican politics, where does it stop? Did He instruct the Connecticut Supreme Court to rule as they did? Hmmmmm.

And as long as we're on the subject of "The Sound of Music," we remember Maria telling Captain Von Trapp that the Reverend Mother had always advised her to "look for your life" until you find it. So with this latest glimmer of hope, we look forward to the day when all gay people in the United States will be able to look for theirs. Even if they don't live in Connecticut or Massachusetts.
