What question is Medley trying to answer? Again, we're limited by editing for air, but the preceding context seems to be does God have a reason to put particular individual gay people into your particular individual life?

Medley doesn't understand. You don't understand -- unless you first believe people show up in your life just because God decided to put them there (much less the parts about God having a mysterious plan for all the awful things he does, like inserting annoying/sick/toxic people into your personal narrative).

Anyway, that context leads to a much different (and more plausible) reading of the available text, vs your preferred "Gay lives are utterly without meaning or purpose, because God wouldn't allow that."

re AP, it may be swinging inexorably to the right. UPI made the turn a long while back, and now it's little more than an echo chamber for the rightwing nutbags of the Washington Times. Once you go whack, there's no way back.

I mean, look at that size of that rock solid chin of hers, most guys would kill for such a masculine chin, for chrissakes!

Ummm....one would guess for the very same reason that the Associated Press, from time to time, reports "news releases" from the wealthy racist New Century Foundation as "the news"!

In case you still have difficulty at discerning obvious patterns, Dano.....
