The justification is always that someone, somewhere, might possibly be offended or feel uncomfortable living in the midst of a largely Christian society, so all must yield to the fragile sensibilities of the few. The ultimate goal of the anti-religious elites is to transform America into a completely secular nation, a nation that is legally and culturally biased against Christianity.
Defamation—also called calumny, vilification, traducement, slander (for transitory statements), and libel (for written, broadcast, or otherwise published words)—is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government, or nation a negative image.

I pray to Ron Paul. Even have a picture of him with constant candle vigil in my living room.

It's clear, at least to me, that the person on that blog is reading it all wrong or is misinterpreting what Ron Paul is saying. For example the link that says he opposes the Civil Rights act, well if you read it, and understand it, you will realize he is clearly not a racist. It all boils down to misinterpretation, then twisting words around and injecting personal opinion when bashing the overall message.

That doesnt mean he is homophobic.
Paul has been a critic of the Supreme Court's Lawrence v. Texas decision, in which sodomy laws were ruled unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment.

But supporting laws against sodomy does.

Paul does not respect the privacy of all people.
Ron Paul uses the Constitution when it's convenient for him and disregards it when it goes against his personal beliefs, regarding gay people, women and their privacy.
He sites the privacy right in the 4th Amendment to justify his position on the Patriot Act, saying that it protects the right of the people to be secure in their house, but rejects the "secure in their persons" clause when it comes to abortion or gay rights. He wants states to make abortion and sodomy illegal. And he would pave the way for them to do so.

I have become nearly completely convinced that he is a snake oil salesman. And if his support is any indication, he's pretty successful at it. I don't know if he's racist or not, but I do believe he will use his position to legislate morality. And that's something I cannot support.

How about this... what business does the Supreme Court have to make a ruling on this issue to begin with??
And when did "Sodomy" become an act exclusive to gay people??
