The Right Never Deals

In Arizona, right-wing activists are pushing an aggressive social agenda. Most importantly, the right is campaigning for a state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage and civil unions. The key to these bans is the petty animosity of people on the religious right who want to deny gay couples the health and other benefits enjoyed by married heterosexuals.

The bottom line for the religious right is their bitterness over the fact that most of America has accepted homosexual people living openly as gays, lesbians, and transexuals.

The activists of the religious right may not be picketing military funerals like Fred Phelps, but most of them are Fred Phelps conservatives in their disgust with America as a whole for the waning of homophobic bigotry.
