Among the reasons I can get very down on religion in general and certain sects in particular, is the insane intolerance the exhibit.

Someone ought to keep on asking bigots like those in the Baptist world, "If God hates homosexuals, why did he make so many of them?"

I just got done watching an episode of Queer Eye and what I was most struck by was the easy relationship between the older (age 57) very straight southern guy (lives in Georgia) and the five much younger gay men. It was a degree of comfort on both sides that was truly wonderful.
