Ewwww...

This is industrial-strength fundamentalist-right hate-rhetoric couched in 'reasonableness'.  The 'arguments' contained therein need to be taken apart and ways of countering them need to be crafted and disseminated.

We (TG) are under a rhetorical assault from predominately the fundies as well as conservative Gay males.  If we don't counter attacks such as those contained in this article, we WILL have to wait another 30 years before another chance at attaining the same civil rights that the 'normal' 90% of the population enjoys.

<huff, huff>
