Nov 09I guess “2M4M” was too subtle.*
You can’t make this stuff up:
While explaining his opposition to allowing same-sex couples to adopt children, [Utah Senator Chris Buttars] told the press… “I don’t mind gays. But I don’t want ‘em stuffing it down my throat all the time. Certainly not in my kid’s face.”
[...]
In the past, Buttars has said that gay men and women are “the greatest threat to America going down.”
That said, I want to give him credit for backing the Mormon Church’s surprising push to bar employers and landlords from discriminating on the basis of sexuality, even if the thought makes him gag. So kudos to two overlapping groups of people (the Mormon Church, old white men) that I don’t often mention favorably in this space.
* “2M4M” was the ironic acronym used for National Organization for Marriage’s gay-marriage-bashing campaign.

Freudian slip just doesn’t do this justice.
