re: #271 HappyWarrior

The worst thing I saw by far were the attacks on Judge Walker because of his sexuality. I really don’t think you’d see gay marriage supporters complaining the way they did about an openly straight judge and besides knowing the anti gay people, they’d been just fine if the judge deciding the case was a conservative straight Christian with an anti gay record. My gay friend was telling me that it was funny that Judge Walker ended up being the hero since initially his nomination was blocked because it was feared he was anti gay.

Well, a lot can happen to a person in 20 years - it’s quite likely that any garden variety Republican appointee 20 years ago would be antigay, even if they were out to themselves. Heck, even 5 years ago. Look at Ken Mehlman, who didn’t even come clean about his dirty GOP dealings until last year.

Even 2 years ago, you still had to convince me that DADT was going to end.
