Last night, the Family Research Council held a telecast called "Stand With Scouts" designed to exploit fears about gays being allowed in the Scouts. I didn't watch but, thanks to Jeremy Hooper, we have a snippet of the event. And it gives an indication as to how low FRC and its supporters stoop to demonize the lgbt community. Nauseating as hell.

Homophobic tweets about Jason Collins' coming out
I apologize for those who are offended regarding this post. But I feel that with regards of Jason Collins' coming out, there seems to be a loss of perspective. From the blog Women's Post comes the tweets of folks not happy with Collins' decision to come out:
Milky Cabrèra @Big_Sal17 - Listening to Jason Collins describe his gayness as "beautiful" makes me wanna puke. And kill him.
