After reading column after column, I am beginning to doubt the good intentions of Thomas Reese.  Often, it sounds to me as if he wants everyone to make believe everything is OK, when, in fact, it is not.  He says that his compromises will prevent those who discriminate against LGBT people to be seen as homophobes.  Well, if for no other reason, the compromises are bad for this reason.  Homophobia should be recognized were it exists.
