Lamest Defense Ever

The Gist:

State Senator Mike Foley is leading the charge against legislation prohibiting discrimination based on gender preference in the government of Nebraska. He calls it part of an agenda to legitimize the "gay lifestyle," and says "we don't need that agenda." However, Foley insists he's not homophobic, because he enjoys the music of Elton John. (Link to story)

My Take:

This gentleman, and I use that term with the looseness of an industrious whore, can't even be bothered to use the old nugget: "some of my friends are gay." No, instead he said he likes Elton's music. Notice he merely indicated liking rather than owning the music of the Rocket Man. He probably means that if he hears Elton John in a hotel lobby whilst on his way to a clandestine tryst with the aforementioned whore, he won't plug his ears immediately and chant the Lord's Prayer to ward off the sounds of sodom.
