Ummm. Yeah. Hands up who thought that Reverend Falwell would ever, for any reason, admit that gay people were people and deserved basic human rights?

Yeah. Me either.

Whiskey tango, over.

Sure. It's a lot easier to hate people when you can think of them as a monolithic block of otherness than when you have to think of them as Joe down the street and Cindy at the coffee shop. Once they have faces, it's different. Which is why you get faceless men or a group of men all with the same face in war propaganda. The Enemy has to be The Enemy. Once they have names and faces and lives, nobody wants to kill them.
(If you haven't noticed, I'm also a stater of the obvious. I'm aware of this, but I continue to do it. Sometimes the obvious isn't as obvious as it might be.)
