Same thing here in the Northwest. A few vocal, homophobic right-wing politicians — obsessed with preserving what they like to call “traditional family values” — feeding their twisted, hateful ways to the ignorant masses. Really, just who is trying to push whose lifestyle on whom?

Like you said, there are plenty of REAL issues in this country that need to be addressed. It’s too bad our elected officials can’t seem to put as much effort into eradicating poverty and illiteracy, or promoting some kind of affordable gasoline alternatives, as they do to ridding the country of homosexuals and flag-burners.
