My comments for the author:
1. "Homophobia" is a political term designed to stop debate on homosexual issues. (You disagree with me? Then you have this DISEASE homophobia!!)
2. Santorum did not make the comparison you and many others falsely claim. He did not say that homosexuals were the same as polygamists, etc, etc. He said that if a court rules that homosexual acts were legal because of PRIVACY, then all sexual acts are legal for the same reason. I think he is right.
3. Santorum was talking in this same context when he made the "homosexuals vs homosexual acts" comment. In this context, he was saying it was OK with him for the courts to provide protections for homosexuals, but not for specific acts, for the same "slippery slope" privacy issue mentioned earlier.
4. I feel that anti-sodomy laws are stupid and outdated. Get the states to throw them out for that reason.
5. Conservatives were quick to jump on Lott because he was wrong. Santorum is being misquoted, by removing the entire legal argument context. This is shameful. And you are part of it.
