He picked up on analogy that I've been thinking of lately, with this whole "anti-tolerance" idea. Dobson opposed the tolerance pledge because it included sexual orientation. Yet conservative Christians tolerate people of other faiths. They recognize the right of other religions to exist and their followers to meet and worship, even though they believe those religions to be "wrong." So why do they single out gays for intolerance? Their own logic doesn't make sense.
This article, at least, calls it for what it is: not "Christian" values, but hatred, pure and simple.
