It shows what kind of world we live in now that a conservative acting with integrity is newsworthy.

People like to pretend Hagedorn is a "principled conservative" because he occasionally does the right thing, and it is the right thing in this case, but he's still a homophobic piece of shit.

Yep. I chose the words of that comment carefully to say he acted with integrity, not has integrity.

Good. Seems appropriate.
