1st Amendment is doing its job of encouraging homophobes into the open.

And yet another story from the Washington Post that underscores why we need Free Speech.

When we protect free speech, we encourage the open discussion of whacky notions and outright stupidity, like the one displayed before Congress by a homophobe. Now that everyone knows who she is and what she believes, we can exercise our 1st Amendment right to not associate with her and her kind.

It's only by encouraging wing nuts to express their idiotic ideas that we get to do what America does best---ridicule them for the morons they truly are.

Thank God for the 1st Amendment! It gives us such entertainment.
