This Gay Man Thinks The Senate Gay-Baiting is A Good Thing.

On balance. Sure, no gay-bashing is ever truly "good," but the way I see it, this whole futile exercise can only serve to alienate the vast majority of Americans who, while perhaps not entirely comfortable with the idea of gay marriage, are definitely not cool with discrimination and homophobia, and who are none too thrilled about amending the Constitution to enshrine bigotry. (Not to mention that gay marriage tends to rank WAAAAY near the bottom of issues that are important to people).

Basically, the way I see it, anybody who is not of the "religious right" contingent will see this for the ignorant, intolerant sham (not to mention huge waste of time and money) that it is. And ultimately that's good for our electoral prospects come November, and good for America.

I say, let it all out, Repukes!! Let your hatred and bigotry flow! By doing so, you are merely showing yourselves for the self-righteous moralizing idiots that you are. In the end, all of you who vote for this travesty will have to answer to the fundamentally decent and fair-minded American people. Maybe you'll survive this election, but history is not on your side, and it will not be kind.
