Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council in an exchange with Chris Matthews last night:
Matthews: Do you think we should outlaw gay behavior?
Sprigg: Well, I think certainly it’s defensible –
Matthews: I’m just asking you: Should we outlaw gay behavior?

Matthews: So we should outlaw gay behavior.
Sprigg: Uh, yes! [laughs]
