Seeing a difference

The Arizona House has passed a Bigot Protection Act. Um, that's not the real title, but the news articles don't give that. Though religious people can distinguish between the intent of t-shirts that have the words "Proud to be Irish" and one with "Irish are scum" many can't do the same with shirts that say, "Proud to be gay" and "God hates fags." Thus the need for a speech protection act. A reminder to the Right: laws that protect Bible Clubs at schools also protect Gay-Straight Alliances. So sorry that nobody wants to attend the Bible Clubs. In the same way this law can also be used against the Right. Want to proclaim your religion? Gays can do the same. How about a t-shirt that says "Real Christians don't hate." This blogger has a photo of a marvelous response. It is a takeoff of John 14:3 "I will come back and take you to be with me." The t-shirt is pink with the Bible reference in small print. Above it in big print are the words "Someday My Prince Will Come." Another idea: "Instead of being born again, why not just grow up?"
