What's he on about now?

In case the articles, essays and opinions throughtout this site just weren't enough for you, here's my online diary (a.k.a. 'blog'). It's as close as you'll come to the inside of my head, so don't say I didn't warn you

ALL YOU GET IS A BLOODY FOREHEAD

This political flap over Mary Cheney is actually depressing me. Bill Safire and a pack of other conservative commentators are accusing John Kerry of being homophobic because he mentioned that Mary is an out lesbian. They freak out because they still believe that the mere acknowledgement of homosexuality is shameful. Poor Andrew Sullivan still gamely tries to reason with these people, to diminishing effect.

Meanwhile, Republican Alan Keyes is spewing this garbage about gays molesting their own adopted children and not one conservative has made any comment about it.
Not. One. But why should they criticize? Free country, free speech, right?

I believe in reason and logic and compassion and communication, and I see absolutely none in these gay-rights debates. The more we explain, the less we're heard, while bigots like Keyes and Safire take the mic. It makes me tired.
