Transplanting a Seattleite

Altho to be fair, the "special privilege" argument never makes much sense anyway, unless you can wrap your brain around the idea that (a) there is no such thing as heterocentrism and/or (b) it is not on display in the military. (If you haven't encountered the special privilege argument, it goes like this: gay people want to be able to flaunt their gaydom so they can recruit new people to being gay, harass people who don't like the gay and/or whine when they are picked on in a way that gets Moral People into unjustified trouble -- that's the argument, I don't agree with it. Here is a sample of the argument: http://www.redstate.com/nikitas3/2011/09/21/reinstate-dont-ask-dont-tell/)

I am reasonably certain that Santorum responded to that question with a dip into Right Wing Political Bingo: he pulled several cards out of a hat ("special privilege", "any kind of sexual activity", "they defend us", "ending DADT is a distraction") and strung them together without regard to things like semantics or syntax.
