And it can’t happen soon enough, really. The media ought to check itself pretty closely here — if the only way you get a “balancing” POV for a story is to reach out to a bigot, you are already at FAIL. And the people who want to show up to defend the hiding of their bigotries behind an accusation of Political Correctness need to spend some time checking themselves.

    Dan Savage is great. When he mentioned people against integration and racial intermarriage, it reminded me of a few folks down here in Sussex who still can’t get over those issues. And some of them hold public office.
