I am by no means a fan of Ethridge's music or lifestyle but cancer is cancer. I am in the corner of anyone who fights the good fight, win or lose. I pray that she will pull through. Any suffering by my fellow man will bring out my compassion and anyone who isn't moved by another's suffering is a savage ghoul in my book.

I don't consider his voice to have been great or conservative.

I was asked to be here tonight in part as a signal of the Boston Minuteman Council's cold war with the national Boy Scouts of America headquartered in Irving, Texas. I say cold war because there is no shooting, no shouting, just a tough disagreement separating the national organization, which demands a cruel discrimination doing nothing but enshrining a bigotry, and the Minuteman Council, which last year, in its policy of nondiscrimination, signed by Brock Bigsby, declared as unacceptable "bias, intolerance, and unlawful discrimination" in serving thousands of youths "without regard to color, race, religion, ethnic background, sexual orientation, or economic status." In joining councils in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Minneapolis - my natal city - the Council in Boston, my adopted city for 40 years, said forcefully that it will not judge the worthiness of a boy to share in the remarkable experience of scouting on the basis of what his sexual orientation is or may be, nor the competence of an older boy or man to be a leader, on the same irrelevant criterion.

It is neither music nor a lifesytle. It is probably equal parts an destructive addiction and religious cult.

Called him once when he was discussing "gay rights" (which he opposed, even though he was homosexual).

See the link to his speech to the Boy Scouts above. He was very much in favor of HomosexualAddicts leading young boy scouts.
