Perhaps Ginny "Alig" Cain should ask her father to help her with her addiction to bigotry. But alas, her hypocrisy would prevent her and him from engaging in such self-reflection. Good luck in life Ginny. I'm just sad that her children have to have her as their mother.

I'm a very bad detective, I couldn't find an email address for him, but if you have better contacts, feel free :)

Paula--That is too funny of a coincidence. Maybe you should pass the item on to Stephen Colbert to use in his "This Week in God" bit--he'd get a big laugh out of it for sure.

Kevin--I don't know you may be right--if she wants to explain that she belongs to a fringe group rather than the mainline denomination, then she can have at it.

Not to split hairs...but did you verify that East 91st Christian Church is associated with Disciples of Christ? The reason I ask is that there are two (very separate) factions of the Christian Church - Disciples of Christ and Independant. I am a member of the Independant Christian church and have attended East 91st before and I believe they fall under the independent faction. If so, I don't know what their official view of homosexuality is but as a lifelong member, and knowing their beliefs, it can't be good.

Also, as involved as Ginny claims to be in the theatre, you would think she would have a sliver of tolerance. That industry couldn't be more gay.

A friend of mine passed that email along to me awhile back - shortly after it was received, I think.

I decided to look up what kind of person who, as an elected official would respond in this manner. I found her bio on the indianapolis city council site, then googled her full name (Virginia Alig Cain). The person who would respond sounding more like a pastor than an elected representative is listed in the Summer Class Notes of Northwestern University 2002 immediately before Stephen Colbert, the guy on The Daily Show who does the "This Week in God" bit skewering the hypocrisy of the religious fanatics. Coincidence? Irony?? Got me, but at least it made me laugh. I needed that!

Summer Class Notes Northwestern University 2002:
Virginia Alig Cain (S87) of Indianapolis directed a theater production for the East 91st Street Christian Church in December. Last fall she chaired the family film event for Heartland Film Festival and in spring 2001 directed Neil Simons play, Rumors, at the Indianapolis Civic Theatre.

Stephen Colbert (S87) of Montclair, N.J., is a writer and correspondent for the "Daily Show," a Comedy Central television program. He also wrote, produced and performed in "Strangers with Candy" on Comedy Central, and his book Wigfield (Hyperion, 2002) is scheduled to be published in the fall.
