Gee, TheFu, every gay person and pagan I know believes the same things.
You're so right, we should be as compassionate as those kind, caring conservatives of the south, who have such a tradition of tolerance for those not like them. It was so kind of you to build separate bathrooms and water fountains years ago, when we thoughtless Yankee liberals made everyone share the same ones. I know that was, well, 30 or 40 years ago, and the King and Evers families really should get over their grief and move on, dwelling on the past isn't healthy, and, after all, the Klan membership isn't quite what it used to be in the South, they can't swing half the county elections they did back in the golden age of Southern hospitality. You're right, the South is known for its history of tolerance and compassion, to use your word. Tell me, would that lesbian welfare mother be welcome in your church, at your dinner table, being friends with your daughter?
Before you say it, let me say it. I've lived in the North all my 38 years, and there's plenty of bigotry, hatred, racism, insanity and ignorance up here too. I'm the last person who'd say that the North is better than the South - the main difference seems to be that we up here have no manners at all. But let's be honest here, sir. Look at your neighbors, and tell me the lack on Northern liberal compassion for them is a factor in their lives. Get real.
