The Advocate Magazine reports that evangelist Franklin Graham said Tuesday that Hurricane Katrina could lead to a spiritual rebirth of "sinful" New Orleans. A fundamentalist Republican New Orleans without parties, costumes or homosexuals sounds like a lot of fun, doesn't it? Come to think of it, it sounds a lot like Alabama, which almost no one wants to visit. Leave it to Graham, and New Orleans will soon be filled with strip malls, SUV's, Waffle Houses and mega churches. The only thing it will noticibly lack are tourists.

They can pray all they want, its not going to happen. Such self-righteous hypocrites.
You cannot get any more "vanilla" than Salt Lake City and yet it has a fair amount of gay debachery. (Even Planetout says so.)
You'll never find a city with such criteria Mr. Graham wants. A city of Enoch-like inhabitants would only have WalMarts to shop and you know how utterly boring that would be.
cowboy sure said it: The ONE TIME I went to Salt Lake City, I was freaked by the fact that it took three days into the week before I saw another black person. Just one...and at the mall. it was a WTF...?! sci fi time for me. How did the Jazz get here then?!
Funny how such a city's only black entertainment force of nature would be basketball players named 'the Jazz'. Sometimes ironies are too funny for words.
As a woman of several flavors myself...it's not that I don't love vanilla... but would you understand if a situation like that would creep me out? A city that big literally without all the flavors I know and love like I have in my native city of Los Angeles. I can't much stand any unnatural situation where there's only ONE constant overpowering flavor, when I know that there is really millions of great flavors out there. A place too enamormed of one flavor, and not too curious about the others...is really, really creepy.

Oh hey Regan...You'll do fine in Utah. The Church here is looking for more colorful people. I'm sure they need more color in the Mo Tabs (the choir) and there are plenty of other opportunities to be a token non-vanilla person here.
Just don't tell them you're gay. That's equivalent to child-molesters and almost as bad a wive murderers here.
