Oh, the humanity. Please do not click if your heart is not strong enough. The scenes of wantonness may cause you to, umm, something.

A haunting tour of the Jefferson County Alabama courthouse in the aftermath of gay marriage

Mere days ago, the plaza was full of people. Now - emptiness.

We were warned. If only we had listened.

I spent years working as a reporter in the Jefferson County Courthouse. They were happier times, when Larry Langford still ruled as commission president, before the bankruptcies and court-ordered receiverships.

And before same-sex marriage.

On Monday, I stood in the park to witness one same-sex couple after another stepping from its brass doors. Righteous street preachers predicted calamity and collapse, a modern Sodom and Gomorrah, the Fall of Man.

On Wednesday, I returned to that place to tour the ruins - to see what remained of the Jefferson County Courthouse in the aftermath of gay marriage.



In the trees, wild animals to prey upon the weak.
