10. How to Win Back the South? Here, a good read....
"Gay marriage is for me unthinkable, but Civil Unions have my 100% vote. I believe that marriage is something done in churches, and the Bible does speak negatively about homosexuality.
However, allowed to be "married" by a Mayor, or a power-invested civil servant for gays, and lesbians, is right, and good."

And your homophobic crap continues, you call Greenwald, an American living abroad due to discriminatory immigration practices by the US due to bigoted Americans who sneer at marriage equality. Creepy to call him Brazilian much less the 'Master' of a person he is witting about. You also refer to him all over DU as GeeGee and GiGi. Intentionally feminizing his name because he's gay and that is to you 'unthinkable'.
You degrade any and all things you attempt to support.
