What justification do you use to discriminate against gays? YOUR RELIGION! If it weren't for god(s), what other reason could you have for discriminating against gay people?
I don't discriminate against gay people. In 1993 argued in front of multiple Republican Congressmen that discharging Marine linguists for being gay was a stupid policy (that's what I called it). In 1999 I told the Bishop of the Atlanta Diocese that restricting marriage to only straight people was only going to serve as a wedge and that the Church needed to consider the changing world.
I'm glad that our President caught up to me in 2012, I just wish he was as "thoughtful" in 2008.
