Why does it seem ludicrous to even imagine saying to someone like Jerry Falwell or George Bush or any of thousands of priests and ministers who regularly say nasty things about queer people, "Oh, but I'm a *good* queer person, not all of us are like that." It's ludicrous to imagine they would entertain the notion of moderating their words or really even do anything but laugh. They are not concerned in the least with how we feel; they have nothing to gain from moderating themselves because homophobia is how they make their living.
Taking that into account, it's downright magnanimous of me to have given the airplay I have to that response from Christians.
