13. Willful ignorance

Is the policy.
Yesterday, I tuned into 1100 while I was waiting in my car. Mike Trivasano a local radio talker who has been on for some 30 years and holds alot of audience compared gays to nazis in an analogy fit for a 6th grade bully. That is that narrative folks.
Since its ok for a jewish deli to decline service to a 'Neo Nazi' ,it should be ok to refuse service to a gay person.
That , is willful ignorance.
This issue is going to be the straw that breaks the bigoted backs of the Republican party, because they have to own it. Hell this issue just vaulted Ted Cruz to the lead! If you want to win the Rethug primary, you have to go full on bigot.
Now that its Easter and I will have to go to dinner with my family, I will have to endure the overt bigoted screechers as I did when the Duck Dynasty guy went full on bigot and so impressed the asshole brigade that we all were forced to endure the endless adulation that pretty much ruined Christmas 13.
Do they time this crap or is it random dumb luck?
