I know how politics can make strange bedfellows, but it is entirely beside me how Sally Kern (the helmet-haired hatemonger) can skate by her comments that can be seen as nothing more than a religious crusade.

She not only hates gays, but she hates everyone who isn't a Baptist - which includes Catholics along with the other likely suspects: Muslims, Hindus, Budists and all the rest.

But because she is the lightning rod for homobashing, all of those other cowards are ignoring her personal religious crusade.
