Dr Piper&#x27;s other public statements show that&#x27;s very uncomfortable about and offended by many things - not least of which is majority support for gay marriage. Or any kind of homosexuality at all.<p>He&#x27;s so incredibly uncomfortable with both he&#x27;d rather they simply didn&#x27;t exist.<p>I have very little patience with anyone who runs the kind of moral racket that Dr Piper runs - which is making a career out of pretending to be a moral examplar by relying on appeal-to-authority and a lot of noisy rhetoric, and using both to justify social privilege for his beliefs.<p>I don&#x27;t care if they&#x27;re religious types, economists, or any other kind of ideologues. In my world their opinions get no respect at all.
