"I was raised to believe..."

When public figures are chastised for homophobia, they often use their upbringing as an excuse.

It's a great tactic - it evokes a nice sympathetic image of the public figure as a wee child, sitting on grandpa's knee, learning about the wide world.

I support gay rights; it's not so much what I was raised to believe as what I believed when I sprang, fully formed as an adult from the fiery depths of hell.

Though, as those of you who have seen the Shane/Alice video know, I'm arguably not really fully-formed.
