"(H)ow many more gay people does God have to create before we ask ourselves whether or not God actually wants them around?" -- Mn State Rep. Steve Simon, DFL-St. Louis Park
That quote by Rep Simon is literally going around the world. As of this posting the following YouTube has gone viral, and been seen 170,938 times.
The best story (IMNSHO) about Rep. Simon's comments is from a Star Tribune Editorial Writer, John Rash. From it:
With all the action, breaking through the capitol cacophony - let alone the cultural clutter in today's media - is rare. When it does happen, it's all too often due to a legislator saying something inflammatory, or inane, or both.
Yet in a measured, calm tone, testimony from Rep. Steve Simon, DFL-St. Louis Park, about a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in Minnesota, has made a splash nationally.

Which goes to show that even in today's showboat society a quietly expressed idea can still make meaningful noise.
Indeed. And once again, from that "noise" --
"(H)ow many more gay people does God have to create before we ask ourselves whether or not God actually wants them around?" -- Mn State Rep. Steve Simon, DFL-St. Louis Park
