Vanity Fair has launched a new blog about gay cars.
Yes, some cars are apparently gay.
Assuming this to be true, we see- in the near future- a Vatican Index of proscribed vehicles that must be denied the sacraments:
St. Francis deacon blesses Members Only club and 240 of its closest friends

Deacon Pedro Sedano thought he'd led about every type of Catholic blessing, until his parish priest, Rev. Don Nevins, called with a last-minute request.
Sedano, a lay minister at St. Francis of Assisi Church, had blessed new homes, apartments and businesses for many members of the Near West Side parish.
But never old hot rods and vintage restorations.
"Fr. Don had to marry some people that day and couldn't go himself, so he said, 'Pedro, will you try to make it there for me?'"
So Deacon Sedano blessed 240 extremely cool rides parked in a lot at 718 W. Monroe St. for the Members Only Car Club's 6th annual Car Show last month.
"I say they are a gift from God," Sedano said of the cars. "Because God gives their owners the spirit and energy to save them. You want to save something old like these cars for your grandchildren, to show them.
"I was very emotional. I have friends with cars from the 1930s and 1950s. I had a 1979 [Cadillac] Coupe Deville for 21 years and now wish I had it back. I know how they feel."
