So reads the title of today's editorial in the Salina Journal. Christopher Renner is challenging creationist Kathy Martin for the District 6 seat on the Kansas State Board of Education.
A choice tidbit:
In the past few days, those supporters [of Kathy Martin - csa] have sent the Journal a few e-mails to make sure we warned voters. That's Voters with a capital "V" and that rhymes with "G" and that stands for Gay!
Whew! Glad that's out there. We're feeling better already.
Can you imagine the caliber of disaster that could result if we elected a gay man to the State Board of Education? Why, he'd likely be showing up at board meetings and ... and, he'd be, uh, ... well, we're not sure what he'd be. What do gay men do at board of education meetings?
Study issues? Make comments? Vote? About what everyone else on the board is doing?

Go read the rest of the editorial here. And be grateful there are plenty of Kansans who aren't Fred Phelps clones.
