31. Huckabee called for relocation camps for gay people in 1992. How is it that I am still seeing him in

public? Because his peer group has not objected to him strongly. Straight people who could laugh in his face do not do so.
And when they do criticize him, it is backhanded in that they claim he's gay. Just out of thin air, based on nothing at all. Got any support for this theory that all anti gay straights are really gay meaning straights are not really at fault at all? Of course you don't. You just want to deflect from the fact that the straight community is not doing a good job policing their own.

That is something straights say all the time when confronted with the bigoted nature of their culture. You are not even being original, it is what they always say. 'He's gay' is what all straights say to criticize others because they see gay as an insult.
