politically lopsided When the fuck did equal rights for minorities, women, and GLBTQ become "politically lopsided". We're talking about human rights here. There is no legitimate "other side" to this argument, just hate. This article is concern trolling 101.
Oh man, so true. Where I am it's like a permanent Pride parade. That said, is this really a big issue? Employees, often public employees, at traditionally liberal institutions, many of whom are humanities PhDs themselves are liberal... Popes are often Catholic and wear funny hats...

Weird, since typically the issue is seen in reverse where leftist views don't hold up to statistics and logic. Check out some of Ben Shapiro's talks, or Crowder's 'Change my mind' series
