We Got Mail!
The religious right is all lathered up about the Rick Perry HPV controversy. They really hate that vaccine.
Gardasil.
It’s an evil, evil vaccine that leads young women into lives of debauchery and sexual promiscuity, not necessarily in that order, by preventing the disease that would otherwise be their just and righteous punishment from the Lord.
I wish I were kidding, but that’s how they really think. Here’s an email I received today from someone in Texas, with a crazed homophobic variation on the theme:
Sometimes, Charles, you’re just a homosexual idiot. The mandate to innoculate for Gardasil was an attempt to socialize the sexual behavior of the homosexual/bisexual community for a virus that can only be transmitted through sexual contact. If your children are homosexual/bisexual skanks like yourself, innoculate your children.
