What do you think of it?

This is an incredibly interesting situation and I think it's the real crux of the 'culture war'.

Sheesh. They can cry all day about the "constant barrage of homosexuality", and I won't give a royal fuck about their feelings until they cease and desist their abhorrent constant barrage of heterosexuality, which is usually far more blatant and sexually provocative than anything homosexuals do in public.

Oh, yes, and can I get a court order telling them to stop proclaiming their Christianity? It violates my religious belief that religion should be excluded from the public domain.

THAT is the scariest thing I've read in months.

I sure wish the Christian fundamentalists would knock off the political propaganda. Maybe then I'd be more tolerant of them.

By equating homosexuality with race, Baylor said, tolerance policies put conservative evangelicals in the same category as racists. He predicts the government will one day revoke the tax-exempt status of churches that preach homosexuality is sinful or that refuse to hire gays and lesbians.

Here's hoping!

"If gays want to be tolerated, they should knock off the political propaganda."

Oh, but propaganda is OK if you're religious? It's only OK if you're doing it? Fuck off!

This is why mom was right and I should have been a lawyer:

while the sentiment is offensive, the argument is elegant on so many different levels I can't help but be amazed that Christians managed to come up with it.

Last time I checked, religious beliefs don't give you a license to be an intolerant ass.

Maybe they need to read certain sections in the Bible again, they obviously missed some of the messages about tolerance and love.
