When I asked him the personal question about how he intends to deal with the question of gay rights, he told me to my face that he would never discriminate against a gay person. I take him for his word until I see proof different. <br /><br />Amazing you have already named him "Homophobe". I wouldn't smear him with the brush I reserve for the likes of Loren Leman or Jerry Ward. They are just different. He doesn't seem like that to me.<br /><br />But I am just one person.
