Foolish is Right, Hutcherson
Bigoted Bible-thumping Ken Hutcherson (pic from The Stranger) is way behind on the cycle. He is afraid a new ballot initiative in his Washington State might make his anti-gay/anti-same-sex marriage folk "look foolish."
He is several years late on that and, wowzers, he doesn't need any outside help.
The Washington Defense of Marriage Alliance has turned Hutcherson's rhetoric on him. Its I-957 wants gay-baiters and gay-haters to face their hypocrisy. Those who have screamed for years that the purpose of marriage is procreation have used a homosexual couple's inability to reproduce without some help as proof that they should not marry.

Even Rev. Hutcherson is not so dull that he doesn't realize the potential power of this. Focus on the Family reports on his reaction. "They want to put it on the front burner about how 'narrow-minded' Christians are. If they can get this and get some Christians to back this up, then they can really make us look foolish."
No duh, Kenny-poo.
Inherent in that is another of his oversights. He conflates his anti-gay group with all self-identified Christians. Quite a few are on the other side of Jesus, the loving and accepting side.
