I wish more Dems would use this approach about so called controversial things. Like Landrieu yesterday.

Maybe the Dem that went to a strip club when he was in his 20’s should take note.

I also love that even though he wasn’t out all along, he supported legislation that protected LGBT rights unlike so many that are closeted on the other side of the aisle.

I was appalled to learn, after a mob of upscale white kids in Philadelphia who don’t know how to choose an appropriate shirt for an evening of overpriced faux-fine dining (they would never know the difference) assaulted and hospitalized a gay couple as their after-dinner group activity, that PA has no hate crime legislation.

Nice experiment in not caring, but it’s time for PA to get real.

Did a gang of gay kids in Philadelphia roam the streets beating up people for being straight? Time to look beyond the right wing propaganda.

pssst, he’s caricaturizing the right wing propaganda.

So many cannot see parody in print. Even when painfully obvious.

Right wingers will soon be questioning how much gay sex he has per week, because, you know, they just can’t stop thinking about it.

Before I saw the PA, I thought the article was about Lindsay “Beauragard Butch-Me-Up” Graham!

Indeed. Been saying that for years myself.

He let it all hang out. Short, sweet, concise, to the point and with backbone. I like it. More please.

Only thing that could’ve made it sweeter was if he was saying it to a gaggle of drooling MSM bobbleheads or an audience of fundamentalist conservative bigots and flipped them all the bird to punctuate it.

We just recently elected our first gay State Rep (from downtown Philadelphia), who actually admitted it while he was still campaigning! Things evolve slowly here in Pennsyltucky.

and the earth shook…oh it didn’t. Life is the same as it was before I knew this. Love the “get over it” comment. Good for him. Why have to lie to protect other people from having to accept it or reject it?

To be fair, his random capitalization is only the slightest hint of an exaggeration.

Then what about the frequent use of “!!!&???one!!!” at the end of many of his posts. I would think that would point toward parody.
