With the enormous budget cuts they've just undergone, what hateful nitwits sit around even wasting their time on this kind of bs? It's on par with questioning Obama's citizenship.<br /><br />As with any kind of bullying, it's the bystanders who need to step up in this situation. Call these people out for what they are, and step up to support gay rights. If people want a cause to fight, work to end child abuse or rape or hunger or poverty. The very fact that anyone would invest their time, energy, and hate into such a project reveals a deeply flawed and disturbed character.
