Goodness gracious, but these right wingers are so aggrieved.
Caught having to defend institutional homophobia in the marriage equality debate — not unlike the opponents of interracial unions back during Loving v. Virginia — they're dealing with their discomfort by making it All About Them.
The latest entry in this silly parade is Baby Marco Rubio, who whined to (who else?) the Christian Broadcasting Network that Christianity is being cast as "hate speech.""If you do not support same-sex marriage you are labeled a homophobe and a hater," he bleated.
They're coming after us! Baby Marco appears not to specify who "they" are, but is he accusing 62 percent of Irish voters of persecuting him? Did the CBC interviewer pose that follow-up question? Somehow we doubt it.
We cats have one answer for Baby Marco and his ilk: Stop twisting the teachings of Jesus to vilify, threaten and marginalize others, and you'll stop being accused of hate speech. Easy peasy.
But since we doubt that Baby Marco is smart enough to get this simple idea, we will simply HISS.
