I think my throat-cramming remark was misunderstood. It was strictly a comment about language usage. I'm only saying the throat-cramming comparison is extremely overused. It strikes me as a cliche in need of refreshing. (And you are right, I have heard the faithful say it in response to contact with gay-ness) Any time I hear it, though, I tend to assume that the person saying it isn't thinking things through very carefully - just giving a knee-jerk response. I'm all for more thought-out and incisive come-backs.
And to repeat - I'm a major church/state separation proponent.
