1. What an irony. "defending freedom".

"Freedom" to judge and persecute what they don't understand or are unwilling to tolerate.
It all reminds me of one of the greatest bumper stickers I'd spotted in the Colorado Springs area: "Focus on your Own Damn Family".
When are these homophobic fuckers going to give up on the "they're persecuting us" smokescreen? Let me see, I don't recall signing any petitions restricting their rights to worship as they please. None seeking to limit their ability to further overpopulate the planet according to their myths, yet. Did I vote on their right to marry? Have I attempted to refuse a product or service, accomodations or employment based on my own assessment of their religion? Would I try to prevent the heteros or christians from attending the local prom? I've never even once tried to lawyer away any of their rights.
The same can't be said for the reverse.
Between this, and Betsy DeVos latest gaffes, I see their witch-hunt has commenced.
