Welcome friends!
Speaking of clown acts did you happen to notice Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio’s recent frettings that gay marriage proponents may cast what he considers mainstream Christian teaching as hate speech? I was about to chortle heartily and flip to another page as I normally do when I encounter conservatives wringing their hands over their universe of generally overblown if not entirely fabricated fears and concerns but I did find his statement intriguing in a weird sort of way. I advocate gay marriage equality all the time (on the principle that gay people are people too) but at the same time I would hate for anyone to feel I’m attacking them personally because of their religious views. So it’s not the sort of statement I feel I can really let go without comment. Let’s think this through together.
First of all, let’s get one thing straight: I don’t believe any liberal in the country wants Christians who are morally opposed to homosexuality and / or homosexuals and who dislike gay marriage to either express a gay identity or to engage in gay marriage or even to say good morning to a gay person. I wish all conservative to know that we liberals support you one hundred percent as far as that sort of thing goes...

If you find my timeless jewels of wisdom amusing or perhaps even amusingly irritating throw me a bone now and then. Thank you my friends!
