OSC is the kind of homophobe who really scares me. He's not reactionary--he's thoughtful and reasoned and unfortunately horribly WRONG. The reactionaries scare me a lot less, because their reaction is strictly hind-brained. But when someone can rationalized discrimination as brilliantly as he does, you get disastrous results, because then it starts to have appeal to the maybe two-thirds of the populace that actually does listen to reasoned arguments and think about them a little bit before pulling a lever in a voting booth.
