“Pastor McClurkin believes and has stated things about sexual orientation that are deeply hurtful and offensive to many Americans, most especially to gay Americans. This cannot and should not be denied.”

The notion that gay Americans are more offended by this man because they are the target of his hatred, than say, I am, is insane. I don’t have to be the target of the hatred to be offended by it.

I don’t even want to dignify the second part of the quote with a response, but seriously, what a horrible defense! Lots of people think women are weaker than men, do we have to give them prime billing in our efforts? What about the people who think African Americans are inferior? Do they get to have their say, too?

I’m all for free speech, but you don’t have to invite everyone to your party. Though by all means, you must be prepared to be judged by the company that you keep.
