re: #613 WindUpBird

The adoption thing makes me vibrate with rage, it’s sort of my confirmaion that these people WOULD be trying to throw us in jail or worse if they had the political environment and the wind at their backs to do so. Their connections to Ugandan right wing churches where they’re advocating violence against gay people, that’s my indication that A they’re evil and B they’re serious, and it’s not just played for distractions during election years. These aren;t normal people, these arent civilized people. Barbarians in America may wear suits and ties and get on Fox News and drive nice cars, but they’re still barbaric.

I don’t know about “those people”, but some of us do straddle the fence. Against gay marriage, but against DADT, say. And not about to throw anybody in jail much less kill them for being gay. Not about to let it happen politically, either.

We are your political opponents on one issue, your allies on another. Not your mortal enemies. We don’t wear suits, we don’t drive nice cars, and we aren’t barbarians.
