Republicans Ignore the Law, and Harass Gays for Being Gay

http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2013/08/05/republicans-ignore-the-law-and-harass-gays-for-being-gay/

Snips:
"Those same “Republicans” who want the government off our backs want that same government to dictate what we do when one of us is on our backs. So, they are jailing people for being gay, and never mind what the Supreme Court says. "

"The constitutional rights of gays are being violated (as seen here). The constitutional rights of women are being violated (reproductive matters). The constitutional rights of all Americans are being violated (via the NSA monitoring programs). We are all at risk, people, regardless of skin color, chromosomes, or any other characteristic you might care to consider."

the concept of freedom doesn't apply to gays, women, minorities, non-Christians, or the poor. But that's old news.

declared 'they don't do this'. When shown the facts they were dismissive in that way that Centrists have honed to use toward gay people.
