"Anti" Honesty?
So, the headline on the teaser was "Anti-LGBT Legislation". The story is that Texas State Sen. Donna Campbell, R-New Braunfels, introduced a resolution to bolster religious freedom in the state by allowing businesses to refuse to serve LGBT customers on the basis of religious belief. I've already pointed out that laws allowing for the First Amendment cannot be classified as "anti-LGBT", but, okay, fine. If we're going to go this way, let's go all the way. The rest of the story should read, "Anti-religion and anti-religious-freedom people are against it." Will they admit that?

Again, it's "Anti-Incest" legislation, or "Anti-Polygamy" legislation.
Well, actually, in this case it's not about marriage (or its definition). It's about whether or not a person has the right to maintain his or her religious convictions, or if the perceived rights of one gets to override the religious freedom of another.
If I were a sign maker, I'd have as much trouble printing a "God hates fags" sign as a "Gay Pride" sign or an "Allah Ackbar" sign as much as a "We're here, we're queer, get used to it" sign.
