Reason for PPR...

Posted an ex-gay conversion story with parts about homosexuality being a sin edited out. When called on it, did not see anything wrong with the article. http://www.democraticunderground.com/121868411 Deleted posts on DU2 include other intolerant statements, including this gem: "One may oppose interracial marriage for cultural or religious reasons. I am not defending this only pointing out that being opposed to interracial marriage does not automatically make you a racist. Regarding opposition to gay marriage. It is quite easy to make a legitimate argument that opposing it, is based on principles, not homophobia."

Both were shown the door for homophobic comments, the second only started commenting after the first one was gone AFAIK...

Coincidence?
