But even you must admit that there is an uncomfortable number of people who will vote for * based on his stance against gays, ignoring and/or justifying all else.

THAT is what I believe the original post is saying.

By the way, I'm FULLY aware that a gay person fired from his job is not protected and is going to have a hard time putting food on the table. Kindly direct your anger at someone who deserves it. To combat discrimination you must see where it is, and part of THAT is to see where it isn't. AND before you decide to tell me I couldn't possibly understand, I'll be happy to tell you about a certain man in my life.

But a gay person fired from a job because his department outsourced to India isn't doing any better than the one who was fired for being gay. The gay person who can't get health insurance because there is none he can afford isn't doing any better than the one who can't get it because he's gay.

There is nothing inconsequential about discrimination. But if the jobs aren't there to begin with, gays aren't going to have them anyway.
