Summary: 


Andy Banta has unfortunately engaged in some unconscious stereotyping.
Fundamentalism (biblical literalism) is a religious doctrine regarding
interpretation of religious writings. Soe fundamentalists are violently
homophobic, while some (such as many members of the Metropolitan Community
Church) are openly and comfortably gay.

Let's watch out that we don't engage in our own stereotyping. [Usual 
defensive aside: no, I'm not a fundamentalist, but some of my best
friends...]

If David Brunson were in my data structures class, maybe I should fail
him even if he were an A student. After all, giving an anti-gay bigot
a university degree gives him a cachet of authority which anti-gay 
bigots ought not to have. Hmm...
