187. Unlike Obama, I've never given a religious right homophobe a public platform.

Fri Sep 13, 2013, 12:37 PM

Sep 2013

What I've done privately is contribute to gay rights causes and AIDS clinics, participate in gay rights rallies, give emotional support to my gay friends and family members, and speak out for gay rights whenever I can. Believe it or not -- it doesn't matter to me -- I know what I've done. And I know what you're trying to do, because I've seen it over and over again to the point where I now expect it: When all else fails, when certain of Obama's actions can't be glossed over, try to turn it around it around on the person pointing them out and accuse that person of them. Talk about counterproductive.
