What the fuck with Republicans, they loudly applaud the idea that gays not having to live a lie is some kind of special privilege. They swallow Santorum’s (sorry … no I’m not) bullshit line about going back to a police where “sex is not an issue.” Yeah, sex wasn’t an issue for straight people. The intellectual dishonesty displayed by that audience is simply astounding, typical and not the least bit surprising, but still astounding in its sheer magnitude.

I don’t know Frank. One thing’s for damn sure, it seems to me that the Republican Party instead of moving forward on issues like this is stuck in the dark ages. It amazes me that Barry Goldwater, a man older than all four my grandparents was more forward thinking on gays than Rick Santorum whom is younger than my parents. I by and large feel this is a generational issue but sometimes I don’t know considering that some of the biggest homophobes in the Republican Party are younger people.
