Texas Gay Marriage Ban May Pass With Support of Minorities, KKK
Texas lawmakers say an amendment banning gay marriage will be approved by voters, helped by low turnout and support from groups as diverse as Hispanic leaders and the Ku Klux Klan.[...]
“Having the Klan involved probably doesn’t help my cause,” said Chisum, who has been campaigning in support of the amendment. “This is one of those deals where you can’t control who signs up on your side.”

What, there’s no room in the anti-homosexual movement for people whose hatred isn’t limited to homosexuals? Or are you just afraid that the involvement of the Klan will expose your movement for what it is?
I also find it amusing that hatred of homosexuals acts as a common cause for groups that appear to be in opposition, like the KKK and racial minority groups. Of course, the only reason their in opposition is that there is a racial barrier. In terms of philosophy, they’re in lockstep: “We only like people who look and act like us.”
