Gay Planet? I blame the fundies/freeptards for kicking Pluto out of the
solar system family of planets.

I hope you're happy Pat Robertson and Joe Lieberman.

Yea, I've read the "scientific" explanations as to why Pluto doesn't belong. :eyes: Blah Blah and Blah.

We all know the true reason Pluto is being discriminated against is there are those who believe Pluto "chose" that lifestyle of being small....of being so distant and different.

They believe it was only a matter of time before Pluto came out of the closet (orbit, in astronomy terms) and announced it wanted to marry a same-nebula planet from another galaxy.

Then what?!? The next thing you know, planets would be marrying sheep and other animals. It's against nature.

Not only that, including Pluto as part of the Milky Way is against the bible.

Thank god scientists came to their christian senses the fundies say.

Me? I'm pissed. Therefore, I propose the gay and lesbian community adopt Pluto as our "mascot" of the shunned.

We should put it on the rainbow flag. We should put it on bumper stickers. We should put it everywhere :)

Poor, poor Pluto. What a sad day here in Merrka and indeed, around the world. :cry:

2. actually jupiter is out of closet and has been since galileo days
jupiter is the gay or at least bi planet, and it was a tradition of astronomers in olden times to name the moons of jupiter after his lovers, perhaps most famously ganymede

why claim the smallest and most dubious of the planets when you can claim the king of them all?

12. My first thought was something about
How Pluto crosses over into Uranus' orbit.

That's what the kids call it these days, isn't it?

11. astrologically maybe, astronomically it's jupiter
Edited on Thu Aug-24-06 02:31 PM by pitohui
i'm telling ya'll, you can look it up

jupiter is the name of the planet, but perhaps you would remember him from high school mythology class as zeus, the guy did everybody, male and female alike, for that matter swans and golden showers alike

ganymede, the largest moon of jupiter (it may be larger than pluto but i don't recall anymore) was named for the jupiter's most beautiful male partner and back in the day i don't think this was considered in the least scandalous or controversial

i would claim jupiter for the rainbow flag and leave pluto to the disney corporation

16. Pluto was a judge
presiding over divorce proceedings between Mickey and Minnie.
Pluto, "You can't divorce Minnie because you think she's crazy, Mickey."
Mickey, "I didn't say she was crazy. I said she was fucking Goofy."

21. Fundies think the sky is made of cardboard, plywood and papier mache.
They didn't have anything to do with this.

22. It's because Pluto's an eccentric
The mainstream can't handle eccentricities or offsets. They like nice, neat concentric circles.

23. Actually, it's because if Pluto's a planet, then there are between 13-57
Edited on Thu Aug-24-06 05:25 PM by impeachdubya
total. That we know about. Final number could look something like 8,000.

Hey, that's okay with me; there's a lot more gay people than we used to know about, too.

Let the damn Kuiper Belt out of the closet!
