Nate Knows Nada

In today’s NY Times, this article describes the “day-after” reaction to the General Convention. But you gotta hear this quote, from Alice Woodward, of Colorado Springs: “It’s not enough that we leave them alone,” Ms. Woodward continued, referring to gays and lesbians. “They just demand that we accept. But I’ll stay with this church no matter what. If we end up in a tent, I won’t like it, but I’ll accept that.”

 *Heavy sarcasm follows*

 Yes, we really do appreciate that you don’t put us in prison or kill us anymore, Ms. Woodward. Sounds like it was grave disappointment to you that no longer occurs. Shockingly, since we are your equals in every way, we’d like to be treated as your equals, not merely “put up with.”

It’s just depressing to see such blatant bigotry and no apparent shame about it.
