And, BTW -- Would you believe it? I read that a Flight 93 hero, Mark Bingham -- according to his mom -- while he did not flaunt the fact he was gay, was very proud to be a member of: the GOP.
That's wonderful! The extremists try to mask the fact that there are both moderate and to-the-right members of each "protected group" ... and those people, I'm sure, don't WANT to be part of a protected group.
I already admired Mark - this is just icing.
