In case you didn’t catch it, Michael Moore is covering the Republican National Convention for USA Today. Entertaining stuff.
I asked one man who told me he was a “proud Republican,” “Do you think we need strong laws to protect our air and water?”
“Well, sure,” he said. “Who doesn’t?”
I asked whether women should have equal rights, including the same pay as men.
“Absolutely,” he replied.
“Would you discriminate against someone because he or she is gay?”
“Um, no.” The pause — I get that a lot when I ask this question — is usually because the average good-hearted person instantly thinks about a gay family member or friend.
