39. As a gay man myself

FAFO, Reid Rasner. You aligned yourself with the devil. Don't be surprised when you get burned. You had to have known this would happen, and if you didn't, you're not intelligent enough to be in government. By supporting this party, you have spit in the eyes of all who have come before you and made huge personal sacrifices, so that you would not have to be afraid to come out. I happen to be one of those people. Shame on you. But maybe you'll learn something. I doubt it, but maybe you will.
