"What I was angry at was this was an opportunity, as always, for anti-gays to take ONE example and apply it to the ENTIRE group."
Not that I spend much time on those strands of the web, but I would be surprised if any significant "traditional values" sites were trumpeting "See, Miranda is on our side!!!" The only people who seemed to care were these so-called activists.
I never understood the usefulness, let alone the allure, of the "born this way" argument. Sociopaths are almost certainly born that way; nobody gives them a pass because of it.
What's wrong with "I'm a free person (though even that is redundant), and I'll live my life as I see fit." You know, as long as you're not a sociopath.
