A few hard truths for the gay cruise that’s not allowed to dock

"[President] Reagan was polite when he said, 'The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.”

". . . Still, it’s statistically likely that the people on this cruise have absolutely no idea what Islam stands for, even as they enthusiastically support a political party that loves Islam, even as Islam wants them dead."

"The story is kind of funny—an LGBTQ+ filled cruise that is being turned away from ports in Muslim countries for being inconsistent with Islamic values. However, what’s a little less funny is that, statistically speaking, most of these passengers support the Democrat party and its love affair with Islam. Indeed, at least one passenger has let his followers know that the animus the ship is facing is all...wait for it...Trump’s fault.

"It all began with Patti LuPone’s outrage. LuPone is a true Broadway star, having originated the diva role of Eva Perón in the musical Evita, before Madonna came along. She’s also done turns in movies and TV shows. She’s a genuine talent, and she knows where a large part of her fan base comes from: Gay men.

"Naturally, then, LuPone was happy to make a guest appearance on a gay-themed cruise carrying over around 2,000 LGBTQ+ passengers across the Mediterranean. The cruise ran into a hitch, though, when it tried to dock in the Turkish port town of Kuşadası, the gateway to Ephesus. (I’ve been on a cruise ship to Ephesus, and I must say that this historical site, one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the entire Mediterranean, is spectacular.)

"It turns out that the Kuşadası port authorities thought it was a very bad idea to have 2,000 LGBTQ+ people descend on the local community:" . . .

. . . "As for the anti-Israel animus, while there is no polling information about how LGBTQ+ voters specifically view Israel and her enemies in the West Bank and Gaza, Democrats have repeatedly shown themselves to hate Israel and love Gaza. Can we say “Queers for Palestine”?

"This is ironic, of course, because Israel is one of the most homophilic countries in the world, while gays are thrown off of roofs in the West Bank and Gaza." . . .More...
