Lesbian couple addresses anti-gay Michigan mayor

This past June, when Facebook asked Troy, Mich., resident Janice Daniels "What's on your mind?" she answered with the kind of venom we're all used to seeing from irresponsible right-wing nut bags:

"I think I am going to throw away my I Love New York carrying bag now that queers can get married there."

It took a while, but the post eventually made headlines after Daniels was elected mayor of Troy and even got the attention of our cartoonist, Mike Ritter. See his 'toon here.

Daniels apologized, but affirmed that she believed marriage is between one man and one woman. You know, because no one can take away her right to be bigoted.
