3. This will make me smile throughout the weekend
Anytime I'm having a bad time this Saturday and Sunday, I'll think of this and the synapses that must be frying in the brains of the religious right, and I'll cheer right up.

4. Christians don't ming working with gay people
as long as the gay people don't have any rights.

Just like many whites didn't mind working with blacks, as long as the blacks couldn't vote or marry white people.
