I guess I used the "" in the wrong part. I meant all the "ignorant straights" not that all straights are ignorant! I know better!!

TRUST MEEEEEE, when I say that I did too. I think the discussion (outside of the outrageous gay-hating comments) hinged on whether hate-crime laws should exist or not, which was a good thing because I can see that argument as valid.

Gay-bashing victims as being at fault for being gay? Nope, still can't see that.

Once again, outside of making excuses for Ms. Leggsy Scarnato, you're the best Somer.

I know exactly what you mean, having lived in Portland, Oregon. I got used to it there and then moved back to the Midwest. Outside of Chicago, the entire region is more or less conservative. I had come to just assume that most regions were like Portland (which is basically the west coast version of liberal NE cities) and it was a rude awakening to realize that I had been living in fantasy world out there.
