Gay Marriage Comes to Springfield.

You may want to catch Sunday night's "gay marriage" episode of "The Simpsons." As ABC News Online reports:

While some Christian conservatives are upset, there's less criticism this time. In part that's because "The Simpsons" - unlike "SpongeBob Squarepants" and "Postcards from Buster" - is not aimed directly at children. In part, it's because many evangelicals have long embraced "The Simpsons" for its high religious content.

There are too many intelligent, discerning Christians and evangelicals who have adopted the show, who like the show," says [religion writer Mark] Pinsky. "I think it would be too dangerous, frankly, too marginalizing, for other leaders of the Christian Right to attack it."

Well, it hasn't stopped Robert Knight of Concerned Women of America, as the article also points out.

Update: And be sure to check out the official "Springfield Is For Gay Lovers of Marriage" site.
