Obama's latest sleight of hand in "cure the gays"-gate is he's now offering to have a gay preacher open his homophobic gospel tour where he's going to be showcasing an outspoken homophobic bigot who thinks gays are trying to kill your children, who thinks being gay is a "curse," and who thinks that gays need to be cured (the anti-gay activist is now denying that he ever used the word "cured" - whatever, the guy thinks we need to be fixed, can be fixed, it's all the same thing).
Which brings up the question: Would Obama put a Klansman on stage so long as he brought a black minister or a rabbi up there too?
I'm just not getting the equivalence here: One bigot = one gay guy, and then everything is okay. How many gays balances one bigot, Senator? One, two, three, three-fifths? That's just not the way it works in civil rights, Senator. You don't get to be a bigot so long as you suck up to the gays too. You NEVER get to be a bigot, period. You never get to embrace bigotry, ever. It doesn't matter many how many of your best friends are gay. It doesn't matter how many gays you put on stage. You don't ever get to showcase a renowned bigot to line your pockets and get you votes, ever.
Would you do this to any other minority, Senator? Would you let a klansman or a white supremacist, or a Holocaust denier, on stage so long as you invited a rabbi and a black minister too? I somehow doubt it. You'd do the right thing and kick the bigot out of your little show. But we're quickly learning that doing the right thing isn't part of the Obama vocabulary.
