However, an...Everything that can go political must. However, and notably, keeping this stuff in the news *used* to be very advantageous for republicans. Today that's shifted to Democrats--this is kind of the same-stuff, different day (different side). <br /><br />There *are* some interesting opinion pieces from the right about how 'dangerous' it is to be *unpopular*--some quoting liberals from decades ago (without getting the irony--that when traditional values were on top, they weren't making it safe to be gay or counter-cultural).<br /><br />I think that's worth a post, really.<br /><br />The fact is that these pizza people (a) are caught on the far-side of a culture 'rip-tide' (a perspective shift so fast--and so total--that it boggles the mind) and (b) didn't handle it elegantly (the questions about how to make things easier on those caught in this quickly shifting planet elide the fact that the pizza-people's quote was ... not cool). <br /><br />The answer of course is that it has to be some of both: people who disagree with gay-marriage (which was fine 10 years ago) need to recognize that *deriding* gay people as having made bad life-choices isn't cool. If they present that way, it''s probably damage-control.<br /><br />-The OmnivoreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049100705786633064.post-18445982390777172092015-04-05T06:49:34.852-07:002015-04-05T06:49:34.852-07:00Does Big Gay Pizza taste any different than "...Does Big Gay Pizza taste any different than "straight pizza" (is that a thing?)?
