  3. Donna Banta -- Aye. My advice to homophobes is "be less narrow-minded."

  4. The headlines alone make me want to pull out more than a few hairs. Discouraging news from the federal court finding that private citizens do not have standing to challenge the National Day of Prayer. Wow.

    Maybe a bunch of us should collaborate on a well-researched and informative/objective article advocating for right-wingers to be less stupid?
