Newt Gingrich Complains Straight People Are Being Repressed; HuffingtonPost.com, 5/14/14

Katherine Fung, HuffingtonPost.com; Newt Gingrich Complains Straight People Are Being Repressed:
"Speaking on Tuesday's episode of CNN's "Crossfire," Gingrich argued that Jones and Ward had a right to their anti-gay opinions. "You guys talk about how you want to be inclusive, except of course, if somebody tweets this, then having a death threat or 'let's send them off to sensitivity training,'" he complained to the panel. "It strikes me, that's repression, that's not inclusive."
"Is it repression to try to teach them to be understanding and open to other people, especially when you talk about people they have not been exposed to?" guest and former NFL player Jamal Anderson countered.
"Shouldn't we also be teaching people who are gay to be open and understanding of people who — ?" Gingrich began to ask, setting off crosstalk between the panel members."
