Oddly enough, Harriet Miers' greatest political triumph--her ascendancy to the Dallas city council--may end up providing the biggest clues on her attitude toward us homos.

From The Advocate (more at the link):

Harriet Miers, President Bush's pick to fill the U.S. Supreme Court vacancy left by the retiring justice Sandra Day O'Connor, once filled out a questionnaire for a gay rights group in which she agreed that gay men and lesbians should have equal rights. But she immediately followed that answer by stating that she did not support the repeal of the Texas sodomy law, which was eventually struck down by the high court.

As part of their endorsement screening process for city council candidates, the Lesbian/Gay Political Coalition of Dallas in 1989 asked then-candidate Miers if she would fill out their standard questionnaire and appear before the coalition to discuss the answers. Miers agreed. “It was not uncommon to get vague or contradictory answers [from candidates],” Louise Young, a member of the coalition at the time, told Advocate.com. “Hers were certainly vague.”

Hmmmm. Yes, it goes on and quite a few contradictions. Hard to know, really. But gives me some hope.

More disturbing is her work with Exodus Ministries. Good God. Anyone deeply enough in denial who actually thinks gays are being that way by choice and can just learn to be straight . . .

Right. And if you're a straightguy, you could take a gay class and suddenly you'd start getting attracted to men.

Is that really how it works?
