I love how they seem to take it for granted that LGBT folk are not mostly Christians or religious, when most are, and that the majority of those polled as supporting equality are not Christians when the numbers couldn't possibly add up if that was not the case. <br /><br />Tayler sounds like the worst of 20th and 19th century bigotry, of the KKK, Know Nothing levels. The style of discourse is the same, it's merely the fashion for who get targeted that is different.
