sometimes I think the world is getting better...then I remember that Huckabee is a candidate with people intending to vote for him

On NBC’s Meet The Press this morning, host Tim Russert asked former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee if he believed “people are born gay or choose to be gay?” “I don’t know whether people are born that way,” responded Huckabee, “but one thing I know, that the behavior one practices is a choice.”

First of all, I don't believe in a gay gene. But that is irrelevant to the self-righteous ignorance of this bible-beating fuck head.

I am starting to sound like the Rude Pundit. Let's talk facts--no venting.

Here's a fact:

In 1997, Huckabee requested an amendment to a state Senate bill stating “that it is Arkansas public policy to prohibit sodomy to protect the traditional family structure.” [Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 1/23/1997]

Protect the traditional family? Here's another fact: the traditional family is a FAILING institution. No doubt because social and unfortunately political institutions enforce and regulate rigid, arbitrary and oppressive criteria of sexuality, family, and children through cultural coercion and other cow-herding tactics.
