Oy, tell me about it. I’m not gay, but some of the stuff that goes on here is disgusting (and I really LOATHE Del. Black sometimes). I think Northern VA should secede (I live in Fairfax Co.). And the problem is, whenever someone stands up for some form of personal freedom (no motorcycle helmets, right to bear arms, etc), they’re usually anti-gay and anti-abortion rights as well. ARGH!!!
The hardest thing for me to understand is the urge many conservatives apparently feel to regulate moral issues by using the coercive power of the State.

Quite sad (and somewhat disturbing).
