The Center for Arizona Policy has a 501(c)3 approval while it works actively to eliminate the rights of homosexuals in Arizona. If they were trying to eliminate the rights of African-Americans would the IRS approve their nonprofit status?

It's accepted prejudice and it needs to stop. Yesterday on NPR a guy was talking about an Alaskan government official who was spouting bile against homosexuals and he said that the views were "probably offensive".

"Probably".

The more patience shown towards these people who try to excuse their hatred with religion the worse the problem. Until there are people in our government who take a stand against this, the acceptance of hatred will continue. I personally don't care what these people think, but they do not have the right to legislate their prejudice.

Obama is way overdue on eliminating the bullshit known as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", every state should have laws against discrimination against members of the LGBT community, gay marriage needs to be legal everywhere, and there must be Zero Tolerance for any attempt to harm other citizens because of their religious affiliation, gender, or sexual orientation.

In the meantime, I am praying for the Rapture to get these assholes off my damn planet.
