Re: There are two scapegoats........the Muslims globally and the gays internally. Does it really matter which one came first?

I don't think that gay-bashing in the US is as grave as Islamophobia... After all, the fact that the Vice Prez's daughter Mary is lesbian didn't prevent the incumbent, conservative administration from winning with a landslide... Now, imagine for a moment that the daughter or the son of a prominent US executive/Secretary converted to Islam...


Mary Cheney is a well behaved gay. Besides, the Bush/Cheney constituency sees it as Cheney's "cross to bear". These are weak minds made of rubber.......they can bend whichever way works best.

However, they still need gays to blame for America's alleged moral decay........just as Hitler blamed the Jews for Germany's problems. You've got to remember these people find the Viagra commercials offensive.

I think the politician or senior bureaucrat would do ok if the son or daughter either staid quiet, or showed moderation. If the son or daughter appeared to be a fire breathing radical than there would be more trouble, esp. for the politician.
