I don't keep track of this board's demographics, so I don't know or care who is white, black, male, female, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Spaghetti Monsteranian, gay, straight, bisexual, transgendered, or whatever other categories one might use to describe themselves, unless they identify themselves as such.

The most important thing here is that we're all Democrats and that we all move forward from the divisive politics of the last 28 years. It's the BushClintons who have encouraged those divisions, through the efforts of people like Lee Atwater, Karl Rove and Mark Penn. None of those guys are on the Obama campaign.

I despise homophobia. I look at someone like Donnie McClurkin or Ted Haggard (or Larry Craig, for that matter) and I see sad pathetic sons of bitches who can't get over self hatred that has been deeply programmed into their own minds. If I believed Barack Obama actually had that mentality himself, I could no more support him than I could support Fred Phelps. But Obama has said the opposite. He speaks of eradicating homophobia, NOT "curing" homosexuals. I don't see how anyone could confuse the two.
