When I saw your other post saying you had posted this is in "AA", my first thought was "no you didn't!" I subscribe to the other AA group (African-American) and it didn't light up the folder. LOL!

More to the point of the article and the subject line, is this type of incitement against GLBT is partially due to "victory blindness" (see: Five Words Of Wisdom From The Man Who Gave Us Outing) and the idea we, as gays, don't "act that way." Quite frankly, I find some of the defenses I am seeing as Islamophobic because this behavior is "expected." Hell, 2...TWO...radicals acted like assholes and they weren't even from that state! So why are people making it seem like they were "defenseless" against the evil bigotry from Gellar?! None of the Muslims that lived in the town even showed up to protest because they didn't feel it warranted their time.
