Based on her political stances, isn't she a religious-outcast gay person, how does she allow herself a God? Doesn't her church ostracize her as her and her father's politics desire? Seems pretty two-faced to me...how do they draw that line where it is okay for her, but not the rest of the gay world? The rest of the gay world cannot get equal access to health care, so who is footing the bill for her and her baby's health care? And when that baby grows up and goes to school, will they make sure there are no gay teachers for their child? And when they all go to religion classes with their child, will they make sure the pastor sets their child straight on how it was born into one of those bad and evil gay families? Yet...this is what their politics demand of other gays...why, how, where is that fine line of reasoning to justify this discrimination that I am missing?
