162. If the shoe fits. . .
I have never used the words "lifestyle choice" when it came to members of the LGBT community, nor have the many sensitive, caring people that I know. It is equivalent to using the N word when it comes to African Americans. It just isn't done.

In fact the only people I've heard use the phrase "lifestyle choice" in that manner are rabid RW fundies and other insanely conservative, bigoted people.

This wasn't a "poor word choice", this was a Freudian slip that showed us where Jarrett's true feelings lie, and the administration's response to it is just as revealing. As is your own response, defending the indefensible.
