Well, one huge help would be supporting working dads so their working wives don't feel compelled as the default minutiae-manager.

"...he is not 'against the gays,' but against 'the act itself.'"

And what about Korean War veterans who are gay, you dumb old coot?

Also, holy shit, I have no idea what website I just linked to but it appears to be extremely racist, my apologies. I Googled the guy's name and linked to a story that looked like it had most of the basic facts right, but I just saw some questionable sidebar stories on there and now I'm ashamed :(

Ugh. Another lawmaker drafting a law that they know is unconstitutional so when it gets slapped down they can claim that they're being persecuted for their beliefs by the government!

If the flag is a poke in the eye, it probably means they're flying it too low. Instead of banning it, they just need to fly it higher.

There is a very weird kind of veteran in this country - it's the one who feels that because he served in the military (didn't necessarily do anything of actual distinction, was just there), he is basically an Authority on all things American and he now has a special status to dictate to others what is American(tm) and…

It's a small sample size, but you should point out that they went into a slump when the grounds' crew first put the cross there and they've been undefeated since the club took the cross off.

Right? How are we (in the South) still trying to slap Confederate flags all over stuff but want to deny the pride flag?

And those little bootleg stickers of Calvin peeing on a Ford/Chevy/Insert Thing Here logo.

I was unaware you could serve your country to defend the American way of life and our freedoms SELECTIVELY.

"Several of us (veterans) feel that the flying of this flag is a poke in the eye of a way of life."

All of them.

Tangentially related point (link being miserable old dinosaurs):

"Not against the gays, but the act itself."

Because First Amendment = Meh?

"I did not go overseas and fight for our country so that we could come back and be subject to something like that. Several of us (veterans) feel that the flying of this flag is a poke in the eye of a way of life."
People should be ashamed that people like this have been in our military.

"I did not go overseas and fight for our country so that we could come back and be subject to something like that. Several of us (veterans) feel that the flying of this flag is a poke in the eye of a way of life."

I wonder how many people who are against the Pride flag own Confederate flags.

But I'll bet he's A-OK with the Confederate flag.
