i don't think they overplayed it at all. and they haven't just been persecuted, people have been attacked and killed because of others not liking their sexuality.
i'm not sure why someone can make such comments, and everyone is supposed to 'understand where he's coming from'.
so, he can say what he wants and point to a book as to why? but if someone takes offense, they need to be more tolerant?
i know it's the general rule, oh just ignore it. but that's what people who behave badly are counting on. that altho they are uncivilized, they can depend on civilized people to stay...civil.
his comments don't reach the level of, say, tony perkins. but they certainly deserved to be called what they were. and it's not the first time he's made those type comments.
he certainly didn't make them to get dialogue going, but to stop it.
and it's too bad that the homosexual comments got so much more attention than him trying to gloss over the days of jim crow.
