Orwellian

Less is More, War is Peace. And gay marriage is a breach of freedom of religion. In other words, Santorum's freedom of religion requires that he be able to deny others, like gay people, the freedom to practise theirs. This is just another case of the misuse of language.

Allowing gay people to marry doesn't affect anyone's freedom of religion. But this elaborate tortured logic that says that if gay people can marry that somehow lessens the rights of other people is just nonsense.

If people want to use that sort of logic, where will it end? My religion says that bigotry and hatred are sins. Using Santorum's logic, I could argue that his statements affect my freedom of religion.
