Jim Burroway at Box Turtle Bulletin reports today that San Diego hotelier Doug Manchester, whose $125,000 donation to support California’ Prop 8 sparked a boycott against his Manchester Hyatt and San Diego Marriot hotels, is divorcing his wife of 43 years. He cited his Catholic faith to justify his large Prop 8 contribution.
Perhaps, he thought that the clunker program meant he could return his wife for a newer model? It could be only a matter of time before we see Disco Dougie cruising the nightclubs in San Diego, while zooming to the valet in an exciting, new convertible red Corvette.
As Burroway pointed out, the Pope would frown upon his sinful lifestyle and his wanton disregard for the sanctity of marriage. But why let a little thing like religion stand in the way of doing what feels good?
The ‘family values’ and ‘traditional marriage’ harpies dont actually give a damn about those and just use them to justify hating gays. How is this news? This is like an article titled “sun rises again this morning”
“is divorcing his wife of 43 years. He cited his Catholic faith to justify his large Prop 8 contribution.”
Such a pity. I wonder if he’ also against adultery…
I love the hypocrisy of the Religious Right–anything they do is fine because they’re not–gasp!–gay. Every day these jerks make Christianity less and less palatable and they don’t even realise it.
This #$%&! is yet another cafeteria catholic. My God, gotta stop “teh gay” but cheating on your wife–just hunky-dory.
These people make me sick!
