Reel them in…

From the day job blog

For a man who still cries when he hears the national anthem, I’m livid someone would question my patriotism based solely on my sexual orientation and party affiliation. My 80-year-old, heterosexual, U.S. Marines WWII/Korean War veteran, Old South, Democratic grandpa would kick your ass if he heard you questioning my love for this country.

That’s my response to a Log Cabin Republicans’ statement calling gay Democrats unpatriotic. As I said at InsideSource, Patrick Sammon — you need to reel your local chapters in real quick.

On a related note… Chris Crain has a wonderful post on the LCR’s endorsement of John McCain and how he thinks LCR could have done better. Check it out.

Oh… and while I’m sending you around to every website in the world, check out monthly LGBT Carolinas publication Out in Asheville and their report on the in-crisis-mode Asheville PrideFest. There’s a great comment thread going on.
