"I am not a faggot. I am a man."

Andrew Sullivan on the Coultergeist's 'faggot' comments. My 'recommended read of the day'.

[...] It was an ugly atmosphere, designed to make any gay man or woman in the room feel marginalized and despised. To put it simply, either conservatism is happy to be associated with that atmosphere, or it isn't. I think the response so far suggests that the conservative elites don't want to go there, but the base has already been there for a very long time. (That's why this affair is so revealing, because it is showing which elites want to pander to bigots, and which do not.)

Sullivan is starting to see the light.
