Clarification.

Remember the uproar over gay Obama staffer Steve Hildebrand’s use of the word “lifestyle” during a conference call? Well, he meant no offense, so chill. Said Hildebrand: “I certainly know that being gay is not a choice — but I am proud to be gay. I did not intend to imply anything except that it is important that we try to find common ground with those who are not supportive of LGBT rights.” [Washington Blade]

I am sure that he meant no harm. However, this will just give more excuses to the anti-Obama gays who keep trying to find a reason to not vote for him.

Anyone who gave real weight to that comment is unreasonable, anyway.

Well, I’m glad he clarified it. It’s bad enough the rest of the world won’t legitimize the lives of gay people by instead using the word ‘lifestyle’ without one of our own using it.
