Quote for the Day:

In the mind of James Dobson, a titanic battle is constantly being waged. This conflict is the central front in "a Second Civil War," an apocalyptic struggle pitting God-fearing straights against libertine gays, manly men against girly men, biblical absolutes against secular evil. Behind Dobson's Manichaean rhetoric, the reality of the culture war has been shrouded in shades of gray since its inception. Indeed, the anti-gay crusade mixed traditional homophobia with the self-loathing of the many closeted gays embedded within the movement's political nerve center.
