Pot, Kettle, You Know the Rest
A course on prevention of homophobia has been banned in Spokane, WA, because some people went crazy. A particularly bizarre quote:
"I cannot approve something that condemns one point of view to promote another," board member Terrie Beaudreau said.
I'm sorry, but... what? Isn't that what the religious right is all about? How gay people are diseased/sex addicts/sinners/alcoholics/drug addicts/child molesters? So, basically, if you're banning something because someone says it promotes a "homosexual agenda", aren't you doing just what you don't want to do?
