Even back in the 70's I knew that eventually someday, there would be a place for us LGTBQ just as our Nation's forefathers designed this nation to be. What I never expected was that, during my lifetime, those that spent their lifetime and made their fortune by vilifying us would see their hateful ways being pulled out for all of society to see them for their uglyness. Who knew...

Focus on the Family: Self-appointed, self-righteous, self-serving, Pharisees.

True story: their real name is "Focus on (how to destroy) the Family.

"Will any facts matter..."?

To fundy tea bircher? No.

Facts are a liberal plot and scientists are paid shills of the government.

I actually was subjected to this swill on Fox Nation.

Borderline retarded.

@livingstranger regarding this video, would it be fair to say--- rather than minnery being a lier, he may simply be lacking in reading comprehension ?

No comments about her twin sons being named Tim and Tom?

@livingstranger "Forcing those who disagree with a practice to pay for it is unconstitutional."

That's a really feeble argument. There many many instances where people don't agree with how government funds are spent. That's why we send representation to Washington to promote what the voters want. And besides, PPH doesn't accept government money to perform abortions for any cases other than rape, incest, or life endangerment.

FOF? Free Of Facts!

@livingstranger Majority vote is mob rule, when they are voting on how minorities are treated. In fact there is specific language to this in the founding documents of the country. Majority rule would have ensured the continuation of slavery, women as non-voters, banned interracial marriage, and would keep same-sex marriage illegal as well as sodomy.

@livingstranger I am still waiting for your evidence that "Forcing those who disagree with a practice to pay for it is unconstitutional."

If I am a pacifist, does that mean my tax dollars can't go to military spending? I guess we should have a tax form that has boxes each person checks off to indicate where their tax payments go. LOL

Of course ignorant people like you often make bold claims (lies) with zero support. That is why you are a pathetic, intellectually dishonest person.

@TheSnoopy1750 I suppose I find the federal funding to planned parenthood unconstitutional, I agree that it violates the 10 Amendment. Individual states should determine that. The federal government should not hold such power. I'm also not teaparty advocate; if you read my earlier comments, I stated I'm neither left or right wing...are you that stupid?

Well done, Sen. Franken.
