Talk Show Host Rejects Homophobia
Not that this furthers our understanding any of incomprehensible "gay Republicans", but it is good to know that homophobia is not always treated as just another opinion in the name of "journalistic balance":
[In North Carolina, KZL radio's “Murphy in the Morning Show"] host Jack Murphy stated [to a notoriously homophobic Republican guest], “To compare any gay person to a pedophile is just wrong” and “You can’t insult them for what they are and expect them to want to join the party.”

To thwart spam, comments by new people are held for moderation; give me a bit of time and your comment will show up.
I welcome comments -- even dissent -- but I will delete without notice irrelevant, rude, psychotic, or incomprehensible comments, particularly those that I deem homophobic, unless they are amusing. The same goes for commercial comments and trackbacks. Sorry, but it's my blog and my decisions are final.

It occurred to me years ago that Log Cabin Republicans might better have called themselves Outhouse Republicans, considering the bias of so many of their fellow party members.
