During a conference call with reporters, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius pointed out that getting insurance is different than buying a toaster.
In spite of frequent differences, many think that Sebelius nailed it:

More and more people today are claiming themselves to be atheists. Losing your faith seems like something of a rite of passage in your 20’s now and it is more popular than ever. Interestingly enough, many bands that have been popular over the last few years still claim to be Christian and are quite proud of it. So in a world where it is less popular than ever to be a Christian, these bands are still waving the flag of Christianity.

See, not all Christian rock is lame. I’m sure you have listened to these bands before and never even realized that you were enjoying some sweet Christian rock tunes.

D.L. Hughley calls himself a comedian in his Twitter bio, so we’ll take his word for it. His method of arguing for gay rights is a bit short on laughs, though. He called conservative blogger Sister Toldjah a “hooker” after she took issue with his characterization of Chick-fil-A founder Dan Cathy as a racist. Tolerance, right? So what better way to argue for the lifting of a ban on gay Boy Scouts and scout leaders than to call the organization’s uniform “gay”? It’s OK, folks, a liberal said it.
Its past time that Boy Scouts lift their (ignorant, hurtful) ban on gay kids nyti.ms/Vsfpdc
— mia farrow (@MiaFarrow) January 29, 2013
NBC News reported earlier today that the Boy Scouts of America is “actively considering” lifting the ban, which it reaffirmed just seven months ago. BSA spokesman Deron Smith told NBC the policy under consideration “would allow the religious, civic or educational organizations that oversee and deliver Scouting to determine how to address this issue.” In other words, allowing gay members and leaders would become a sort of “troops’ rights” issue.
Boy Scouts talk about ending ban on gay members but will leave it up to local organisations to decide their own policy. owl.li/hcxQF

Actor Neil Patrick Harris displayed quite a bit more tact that Hughley, although we wonder if “diversity” covers those who have religious or other objections to homosexuality.
Come on, Boy Scouts, do the right thing. Diversity should be honored and valued. There should be a merit badge for it.

A lift of the ban isn’t quite enough to make Dan Savage happy. It looks like the “my duty to God and my country” clause of the oath would have to go too. Next year, maybe?
Looks like Boy Scouts org may vote to lift ban on gay members – what about ban on atheists? That up for a vote too?
