Don Gwinn - That's not a Yahoo article. Yahoo is just reprinting an article from PlanetOut by Steve Fleiss.

I originally felt is was probably a case of a single-issue person looking for discrimination against their cause and finding it and that the author was reaching a bit in some of his examples (like Schussel's comments); but based on Trevor concurring with the author, I'm reevaluating that opinion.

I'd like to hear more about about the meeting from Trevor's perspective - particularly with regard to the comments that were made, how the audience received them and how large the audience was. I'm particularly disappointed that the most moronic comments are coming from a guy who sits on the NRA Board of Directors. The fact that the panel moderator was also on the board doesn't make it look any prettier.
