I think Santorums point is that out of respect we should address the man/woman/hybrid thing in the manner they wished to be addressed.
That is the problem. There has been too much ‘acceptance’ and ‘respect’.
We have allowed the culture to degenerate into a rotting, maggot infested, zombie.
And now the zombie wants to eat us.
We should not hate anyone - but we definitely need to get in peoples faces and push back. Hard.
