I am saddened by this very weird turn of events with Cindy, but not quite ready to pile on. I have watched her husband, the "maverick" John McCain, go from a principled man who wasn't afraid to buck his party to an angry, nasty, bigot (with a very famous bad temper) who has flip flopped on every value he has ever held. I am willing to bet that life in the McCain household was pretty damn miserable after Cindy made that NOH8 PSA.
I seethe NOT because my son is gay. I seethe because he lives in a country in which some elected officials find it politically advantageous to deny him dignity, basic rights, and protections. I seethe because there are people who preach hatred and discrimination towards gays yet claim to be "good" and "loving" Christians. I seethe because there are groups who claim to be "advocates" for the family but who work to do great harm to any family that doesn’t fit their narrow template for “normal”.
