Pat "Haiti Deserved It" Robertson is out with a revealing new video and it's pretty fun. Watch the video and read the brief commentary over at Truth Wins Out -- as usual, those guys nail it. What a hilarious, hyper-dramatic video! Poor little Tony wearing high heels; doesn't he know that is sure to turn him into a horrible gay?

My question: does Pat, or Pat's audience, have any normal, run-of-the-mill gay friends? It seems like the "gays are bad" Christians always, always trot out homos who cross-dressed, abused drugs, or contracted AIDS before they found Jesus. How about the millions (and I mean millions) of normal gays who don't do any of that and are perfectly normal and happy?

(Or, better yet-- the perfectly normal, happy gays who are Christians? I have plenty of churchgoing friends who not only love same-sex relationships but Jesus, too. As far as I know, none of them are prancing around in heels, snorting crystal meth and having unsafe sex. Then again, I haven't accompanied them to church.)

It used to be the best thing in the world was for gay folks to come out; the idea being that then everyone in the world would see we're everywhere, and just like folks who aren't gay, and it's all just really no big deal.

But now, coming out-- while still terrifically important-- is far less urgent, because us 'mos are everywhere! We're highly visible in movies and TV, we're coming out in record numbers, we're getting married in some U.S. states and many other countries, and as a result, vast majority of America has come to see the simple truth, that we're just like everyone else.

Which brings me back to my original question: who in the world is buying this treacle-tinted bullshit?
