delightful snippet

Today's snippet comes from a letter to the editor of the Boston Globe, a musing about the two swans in the Boston Public Garden. There are some who now think the mute swans, originally named Romeo and Juliet, are both female. The letter writer asks "where's the outrage over Juliet and Juliet?"

The letter continues:

As this is perhaps a same-sex union, where is Governor Romney's press conference condemning this union and pointing out how swan society is being destroyed by such behavior? When will the state Legislature go into special session to draft and pass a constitutional amendment banning future unions between same sex swans so that the people may vote on it? And why hasn't Archbishop O'Malley condemned same-sex swan unions as antithetical to Catholic teachings?

Perhaps it's because they realize this is an example that such unions are natural.
