If we can't hear them out, and others like them, then we are woefully unprepared to make the case for our equality. For that reason, the intolerance of the loudest voices on the gay left is a greater threat to our movement than a few lonely voices on the gay right.

Exactly.

Of course, its really no different than any lib: outscream your opposition.

It's easier for a gay person to come out as a gay to a straight, than for a gay to come out as a conservative to other gays. And they preach "tolerance."

"If we cannot tolerate the viewpoint of someone who tries to explain why one-quarter of us like and support the president, then how can we expect the 96 percent of Americans who are heterosexual to listen seriously to our demands for equality?"

Ouch.

excellent piece, and the left should take heed...the editors warning is a universal one for the left.
