I almost lost my lunch when I heard that an Alabama woman bid $63,500 to have lunch with Sarah Palin. I kept thinking of how a contribution of this size would help Truth Wins Out fight the "ex-gay" industry for nearly a year. It would greatly assist us in our efforts to monitor these groups, conduct crucial research, help people come out of the closet and investigate "ex-gay" boot camps that abuse GLBT youth.
So, I was thinking, why not have our supporters bid to have lunch with me?
Okay, I can't see Russia from my office. Sarah probably looks better in a beauty pageant swimsuit. And, no, I don't have fabulous clothes swiped on the Republican National Committee's credit card. Wayne Besen Photo
But, if you ask, I can tell you what newspapers and magazines I read! And, if you dine with me, we won't have to talk about death panels, I won't flirtatiously wink at everyone and you won't have to suffer through a bowl of moose stew. Most importantly, you will never hear the word "maverick". Also, unlike Palin, I don't chew with my mouth full. Okay, I made up the last part - although Levi Johnston is likely to back me up.
Seriously, if each person on this list contributes $25 today, we will exceed the obscene price paid to eat with Sarah "Barracuda" Palin. For those affected by these difficult times, a tax-deductible gift of $5 or $10 would help us enormously.
Finally, I will dine with the highest bidder when he or she comes to New York City. If the bid exceeds $10,000, I will even fly to you! If you match the contribution to Palin, I will throw in breakfast, coffee and dinner. Don't even think about dessert, I have a boyfriend. (If someone matches the Palin gift, we could make international news and get out our important life-saving message.)
I look forward to your contribution to help an inspiring cause. Let the bidding begin!
Bon Appetit,

I think I will go with the ex-governor for dinner. She is much cuter than Wayne

JayJay you'd have lunch with Palin because you couldn't bid enough enough to go to lunch with Wayne.
And how the hell do you come off judging Wayne? Oh yeah, you're a (supposed) heterosexual so of course you have the right to judge us. By the way, if it's prostitution for Wayne, why is it not prostitution for Palin.
By the way, you need to quit posting here or people are gonna think you are a homosexual.
