That pun was wrong in so many ways... and so very right in others.

Seriously, two or three radicals within what is NOT a representation of the gay community but rather a lobbying group that's proven to have its finger often NOT on the pulse of the people it claims to represent does not necessarily a shit storm make.

You dealt with asshole reactionaries within the Christian community, you're going to deal with asshole reactionaries within the gay community now. It's unfair, yeah, but just look at it that way.
You know your work is pro-JC, you know your work is non-homophobic... and the worst thing to give the wouldberadicals-cum-fundraisershits of ANY cause the dignity of a response.
