Chris Kluwe resigned from the side thing he was doing writing a blog for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Pretty poignant and powerful piece from Kluwe:
I will not stand for the continual eroding of society. I will not tolerate the presentation of a biased argument under a thin coat of presumed neutrality. I will not contribute to the cheapening of discourse and thought that decays every single news as entertainment outlet in this country. I absolutely will not compromise my ethics and morality, ideals that lead me to treat others with empathy and honesty, to demand truth not only from myself but from those around me.
I reject you, and I encourage others to do the same ? to you, and to all others like you. To those who perpetrate deception and fraud. To those willing to hide the truth of their beliefs. To those who value flash over substance, short term gains over long term consequences.
I feel sorry for gay people. Life is difficult enough for straight people, but to be born gay makes things a lot tougher. I feel fortunate being born a hetrosexual.
