to invent a lie that "Nader would ban foreign porn to protect the
domestic porn industry" or that "Nader is a homophobe," especially
given the truth that it is Nader who supports gay marriage, which
Kerry opposes, and it is Kerry who treats GLBT individuals as
second-class citizens deserving only second-class marriage called
civil union.
To support gay marriage does not automatically make someone not a homophobe. Plenty of sexists support rights for women. Their big concern is getting elected.
Nader's homophobia is expressed through his whole approach to sexual issues. He is just too reactionary. Adding this to other negative factors about him makes him a bad candidate.
