Oh dear. When did he say THAT? Because I feel ~ to the religious right, at least ~ they feel it IS 'cool' to be homophobic.
And that mindset is now (and has been) filtering into the rhetoric of the GOP's platform, as there are portions of their 2010 "agenda" which states (paraphrased) that homosexuality should be punishable by jail.....that marriage should only take place between a "natural man and a natural woman".....and that anyone who performs a marriage of anyone else should also be thrown in jail.
Now THIS ~ in 2010 ~ is disgusting AND scary to me.

It is scary, DIVA. I feel as if, since Reagon, perhaps, there has been a progressive back sliding of hard fought liberties. It is scary to be queer, it is scary to be a POC, it is scary to be a progressive Christian, it is scary to be a Muslim. Hell! it is scary to be a vegetarian! Seriously, I keep looking around for the hoses and attack dogs again ... if we do not ban together, all of us outsiders, it seems that we will be picked off, one "issue" at a time ... just saying.
