re: #18 Batman

I love the comments at the Gawker article. Conservatives are discriminated against when they try to get jobs in Hollywood or the government or education. Lulz.

I’ve been in both journalism and education. Conservatives in those fields use the same vocabulary as the gay community does— coming out as conservative, closeted conservative. I’m actually surprised those conservatives don’t have more empathy.

It’s not that they’re discriminated against per se, but it’s well known that people prefer the company of others like them. I’m relatively moderate and people are still shocked that there are other ways to think about an issue besides the way they do.
