Pity the lesbian mothers

Absolutely shocking that a Florida State Representative would say something like this:

"It's easy to say parents need to get involved, but half these kids are raising themselves. They don't have any parents that are functional. ... I mean I sat an hour and a half with a teacher telling me: 'This child has got serial men coming through the house, this one has two mommies, this one has abusive father whose home, this has alcoholism, this one has drug abuse.' It was a casualty warfare event to hear -- just her classroom -- how many dysfunctional, atypical -- to me -- structures are in the way of a kid having a chance to learn."

Yes, he is likely a tool and that is almost as disparaging as the things that Rachel Maddow (being a lesbian) and other gun control advocates have said repeatedly about law-abiding gun owners.  Oh, it is so shocking, so terrible, that someone might say such a thing about lesbian mothers.  Might we call this selective outrage?

Thus Nadine Smith, CEO of Equality Florida, wrote in a release in response; "We hope Representative Baxley has the decency to apologize for his comments disparaging gay parents and our children. More than that, we invite Representative Baxley to educate himself, talk with us and actually meet our families". 

Yes Ma'am that makes sense so any time Rachel or you want to apologize for disparaging law-abiding Americans of all races, genders, and sexual preferences, you go right ahead and feel free to do so - and then you can come on over and you can meet a couple of us and find we are not really the animals you portray us to be.

Until then, keep your outrage to yourself.  As I have noted numerous times, your rights and dignity are no more important to me than mine are to you.  I have spent years defending the rights of others - rights I myself have no desire to share - and in return have been treated by those people as a pariah.

Yup, you're on your own.  Given a choice to vote for Baxley if he is pro-gun but anti-gay or his opponent, who was anti-gun and pro-gay - well - guess who gets my vote.  Equality Florida?  What a laugh.
