The problem with the GOP, in one sentence

"If the Republicans just wanted negotiations, the Obama administration would be happy to oblige them."

-- Ezra Klein

The state of the GOP

Retired Republican Senator Alan Simpson: "We have homophobes on our party. That’s disgusting to me. We’re all human beings. We’re all God’s children."

Retired GOP Senator Alan Simpson tells the truth about his party. Democrats can be homophobic too, but their party's platform doesn't condone homophobia.

A gay Catholic teen talks how his church and the GOP discriminate against him

Try going through a day in the life of a gay teen. Every day you hear someone use your sexuality -- a part of you that, no matter how desperately you try, you cannot change -- as a negative adjective. That hurts.

You fear looking the wrong way in the locker room and offending someone. Politicians are allowed to debate your right to marry the person you love or your right to be protected from hate crimes under the law. Your faith preaches your exclusion -- or damnation. And no one does anything to stop it. Recently, the Archbishop used money donated by an anonymous source to denounce same-sex marriage.

That's right: a major religious leader used non-Church money from a questionable source to publicly condemn your right to express your love in a public and binding manner. A public school district nearby -- after a wake of suicides by kids much like yourself -- cannot bring itself to put your protection from bullying into its policies. Members of the district fear your kind and how you might brainwash their children into thinking that your behavior is appropriate or to join your kind.

A political party makes its position denying your right to marry one of its main voting points. And your nation voted this party in office.
