“I don’t believe in bussing people, I don’t believe in affirmative action and I don’t believe that people who are gay and lesbian or bisexual or whatever the hell they are have the right to call themselves some endangered class and have us make special laws. I don’t believe in hate crimes. If that sounds like part of the Christian Right, well, then, it only sounds like it, because I’m not part of that, but we happen to believe in similar things.”
