 Anywho... A lot of us are very passionate about what we believe in. And we cling to those beliefs, like those bible people Obama talked about.  Our beliefs are what gets us through tough times so it's only natural that when someone questions them (even semantically) sometimes we (and anyone) can go off the deep end. It's a human reaction and not limited to the GLBTQ community. Join us, means forget everything you think and listen to me, I know what I'm saying. And, truly when you think about it, that's the sentiment we all have about things we perceive ourselves to be experts in or more an expert in than others. Such is life.
