Cruel Virgin

One of the rea­sons that we changed our mind to con­tinue to write for The Ris­ing Blog­ger was that we would really miss mak­ing the effort to dis­cover new blogs and qual­ity posts. A woman whose han­dle is Enemy of the Repub­lic authors a blog called Cruel Vir­gin. Posts can be funny. They can be poignant. Her posts are never dull.

In a post that is from Novem­ber 23, 2007 titled Ah, the Hol­i­days: Can You Feel the Love Tonight. Our author received a spam email ask­ing the recip­i­ent to shop at Wal-Mart. Appar­ently Wal-Mart does not acknowl­edge gay mar­riages or unions with the ben­e­fits pack­age. A national gay orga­ni­za­tion is boy­cotting Wal-Mart for their clearly homo­pho­bic prac­tices. So this email she received was from basi­cally a big­oted gay bash­ing group. She writes, “I couldn’t believe that I, of all peo­ple, got this email, but life is so inter­est­ing in cyber­space. Any­one who reads my blog knows that I fully sup­port gay rights, includ­ing mar­riage and same sex ben­e­fit pack­ages. I’ve devoted posts to argu­ing my posi­tion. In the last sev­eral months, I’ve stayed away from these issues, as I had too many per­sonal mat­ters to address. But read­ing this got me mad. I am so tired of this self-righteous hate and rage that comes under the ban­ner of the fam­ily; I am even more dis­gusted when pol­i­tics and reli­gion form an unwanted rela­tion­ship.” It is a pow­er­ful post writ­ten by an author of a great blog. We highly rec­om­mend this post and it is our Post of the Day!
