He cold be married to someone of the same gender. Come to think of it he may be a she considering the infatuation with one of the posters on thsi board. And if that is the case, its not at all a stretch to imagine that they have kids with the help of some rent-a-dad sperm donor.

Just because there is no objective easily observable evidence that you are gay doesn’t mean that I can’t discriminate against it. I know plenty of jews that could pass for non-Jews and it would still be illegal for me to discriminate against those Jews that are “openly Jewish”

Immutability and choice has nothing to do with it. I can convert from Buddhism to Scientology and there would be no obvious evidence of that change.

He is more of a “screw the rest of you, I got mine” sort of Libertarian and that sort of Libertarian is often synonymous with Republican.

Thinking you are smarter than everyone else is an occupational hazard for tax lawyers.
