The last thing this country needs is someone stirring up more hate.

The president has power, but not that much power. If Santorum gets the nominee gays and other 'undesirables' aren't going to get rounded up and people aren't going to suddenly act on homophobic prejudices. People didn't change after Obama got elected and people aren't going to change if Santorum gets elected.

Agreed. Its a losing battle for them on multiple fronts.
