Why is Valerie Jarrett calling sexual orientation a "lifestyle choice?"

There are two things worth noticing about this interview that Jonathan Capehart did with Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett.  The section on gay rights begins at 3:30.  Jarrett calls being gay "a lifestyle choice"-- in a supportive context-- at 4:34.

Ramin Setoodeh helped to kill Tyler Clementi: Why is People letting him write about him?

Before Ramin Setoodeh attracted the ire of Kristen Chenoweth by writing that "queeny" gay men like 25-year-old Jonathan Groff should not be cast as straight characters, he was attacking people for trying to make gay kids feel safe in schools.  In a Newsweek article called "Young, Gay, and Murdered," published in July  2008, Setoodeh suggests that adults who encouraged 15-year-old Larry King to be proud of his gay ide

Dan Savage: Antigay bully

It's very nice that Dan Savage has decided to encourage gay kids not to kill themselves in response to homophobic bullying.

“My children wake up and see me called a bigot in the pages of the New York Times,” he said.

Boo-fucking-hoo you piece of shit.  You are a bigot because you think treating the marriages of gay people the same as the marriages as straight people would harm society, despite the total lack of credible evidence that this is the case.

Blankenhorn doesn't think he's a bigot  because he doesn't hate gay people.  He thinks gays are unfair to professional bigots like Maggie Gallagher because he does not find them hateful.

Rachel Maddow fucking rocks.  This piece on how Republicans are currently fighting tooth and nail against their own ideas (like requiring people to but helth insurance and Cap and Trade) shows how easy it should be for Democrats to beat them in the fall.

But Rachel leaves something unsaid:  almost everything that Obama has "accomplished" has actually been a Repubublican idea.  Do the Democrats deserve any credit for making Mitt Romney's health care plan the model for our national reform?
