"for taking private civic action based upon his quiet Christian faith"
One can only dream of a world in which all civic actions are secular, and religious matters are private and quiet.

- rsynnott 3y agoAh, yes, quietly and faithfully paying for a campaign to keep people like me second-class citizens. Ah, well, that's fine, then, as long as it's nice and polite and Christian. (Back when equal marriage was a live political issue here, I must say I think I _preferred_ the out-and-proud homophobes to the ones who hid behind religious claims. At least they were honest in their hatred.)
