Elephant In Exile

A somewhat touching, maybe a little over the top story in todays post on a small Oklahoma town dealing with a high profile 'coming out' of a local teenager that attracted protests from the famously cruel, Revenrend "God-Hates-Fags" Phelps. A Town that is deeply religious, rallys around one of their own in the face of an extremist radical. It gives me hope that even deeply religious people can see past the hype when it comes to the anti-gay hysteria that the GOP has helped stir up this year.
