Reply #34: Fe Fi Fo Fum, I smell a hypocrite

What is the difference between saying "I'm not gay, but I'm not homophobic" and saying "Yes, I am mindful that we're all sinners. And I caution those who may try to take the speck out of the neighbor's eye when they've got a log in their own.I think it's very important for our society to respect each individual, to welcome those with good hearts, to be a welcoming country." (Bubba Bush 7/30/2003)

THEN HERE COMES THE BUT:

Lets not talk about it now. Lets leave it alone. Lets allow gays and lesbians to be slighted for being in love. Lets sign a bill codifying "marriage" even though we've already signed several. Lets complain when bills codifying marriage FOR homosexuals comes about. Lets put our heads in the sand while the rest of the world acknowledges homosexuals as worthy of human rights.

If you believe in civil rights then you should always believe in them, not only when it is convenient for politicians.
