I live in flyover country, and am entirely tolerant of homosexuals. I don't see anything wrong with it, as it's an ancient condition that is familiar to mankind for aeons.
However, I am opposed to gay militancy, and the cynical process of extracting fifteen million dollars worth of donations from gays by pandering to them. This is what looks bad for Obama.
Hopefully the moniker will stick and people will remember his actions come election time. That fifteen million won't be worth the paper it's printed on, but then it may not be worth that much now.
