No Apologies Necessary

Too funny:
A gay man in Minnesota is sarcastically apologizing on behalf of the state’s gay community to a recently resigned, married, GOP state senator who, having vehemently opposed equal marriage rights, was caught philandering with a male member of her staff.

John Medeiros, who heads an LGBT reading series in Minneapolis, issued the public apology to Amy Koch on Thursday.

“On behalf of all gays and lesbians living in Minnesota, I would like to wholeheartedly apologize for our community’s successful efforts to threaten your traditional marriage,” Medeiros sassily wrote.

“We apologize that our selfish requests to marry those we love has cheapened and degraded traditional marriage so much that we caused you to stray from your own holy union for something more cheap and tawdry.”

Koch stepped down from her post as the state’s majority leader last week after fellow GOP-ers confronted her about the affair. She issued her own apology on Wednesday for “engaging in a relationship with a senate staffer.”
I wish I could be that funny.
