The article comments that one of the involved websites is involved in solely electing Republicans to office. Don't make the mistake of believing this a "Republican" problem, as the majority of elected officials in this state are Democrats.

Bigots come in all shapes and forms. I know, because I used to be one.

To properly trounce the target, one must dehumanize them. "Marriage equality" sounds a lot less provoking than "gay marriage." I've spoken about this before at length, and won't rehash it.

I ask, however, how does one reconcile such bigotry? Religion? Tradition? A lack of education?



Nope, Lewis Black says it best.
