  1. Conservatives Will Win Battle Against Homosexuality By Banning The Word “Gay”<\/a> – Changing the name of something to friendlier or less-friendly term is a well-known tactic. I guess the idea is that if we limit where people can talk about homosexuality, and what words they then use to discuss it, then those who disapprove of it can win the debate.<\/li>\n
  2. Comedian Fined $15K For Insulting Lesbian Couple<\/a> – Guy Earle may be an ass, but penalizing him for expressing that asininity verbally is wrong.<\/li>\n
  3. What It Takes To Get An Abortion In South Dakota<\/a> – If you can’t make it illegal, make it expensive and difficult and time-consuming and even more traumatic! Yeah, that’s an honest way of addressing the issue (and of promoting “good decisions”).<\/li>\n
  4. ‘Pantheist’ Lincoln would be unelectable today – Americas, World – The Independent<\/a> – I suspect most of our great presidents — certainly the Rushmore Four — would be unelectable today. Which kind of says something not terribly good about America, I think.<\/li>\n
