I just read the article and am still giggling. "a deeply Christian patriotic anthem whose theme is unity..." "in several foreign languages" in an ad that "prominently features a gay couple." Dear Mr Leahy: America the Beautiful was composed as a poem by Katherine Lee Bates. She was a professor at a women's college in the 19th century, may well have been a lesbian, and in 1924 broke with the Republican Party they opposed US entry into the League of Nations.
