Max Gordon on life in Jesusland. "America listens to its presidents, present and past. The president sets the tone for tolerance in the land. When a president proposes discriminatory legislation or supports it, however unlikely it may seem that it will be voted into law, the message he sends to the rest of the country is clear: these are the people you have my permission to harm." (thanks Brent)

I concur... excellent read. But unfortunately America was founded on exclusionary tactics. It is more threatening to those who "have an answer to everything" to think that the entire paradigm that has governed their life may be incorrect than it is to think they are damning an entire demographic.
It is not the fear of gays that drives Jesusland... it is the fear of being wrong and having to start over.
