“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

The Day of Relative Truth

AP:
Irked by the success of the nationwide Day of Silence, which seeks to combat anti-gay bias in schools, conservative activists are launching a counter-event this week called the Day of Truth aimed at mobilizing students who believe homosexuality is sinful.

Because what better reason to start a movement that being upset at the success of someone else! Didn't the lord speak out against envy at one point? I think I saw that in the movie "Seven," didn't I? And are we talking all homosexuals? Because I'm not sure a lot of school kids are going to be against those girls making out on MTV all the time.
The driving force behind the Day of Truth is the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal group that has opposed same-sex marriage and challenged restrictions on religious expression in public schools. The event is endorsed by several influential conservative organizations, including the Christian ministry Focus on the Family and the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.

As it says in my Bible, "Love they neighbor, unless you can exploit and demonize said neighbor for political and financial gains."

I guess the movement to promote tolerance and keep homosexuals from being outcast and dragged from the ack of a pick up truck has moved to far forward and actually helped people to see, whether they approve of homosexuality or not, that these are other human beings with other problems and deserve respect. No one organizes a rally to promote the intolerance of alcoholics or drug abusers because they are "sinful and destructive," as one organizer puts it. But for some reason, it's okay to do so for homosexuals.
