It doesn't sound from Anderson's post like he's particularly fond
of gay people.

But I disagree that thinking an employer should be able to fire 
people for being gay or lesbian makes someone a bigot.

I think they *shouldn't* fire people, but I think they should
*be able* to.  Who you hire and fire should fall under "freedom
of association" clause of the first amendment; people should
be able to choose employees, friends, business partners, whatever, 
with
no interference from anyone else.

That's fine.  I wasn't talking to you.  I was talking to the closet
