While Palin isn’t going to judge her lesbian friend for the choices she’s made about her “adult personal relationships,” Palin is going to do what she can to deny her lesbian friend the right to marry. Palin also wants to make sure her lesbian friend can’t serve openly in the military, she doesn’t want her lesbian friend protected by hate crimes statutes, and she thinks employers should be able to fire her lesbian friend just because she’s a lesbian. And if Palin’s lesbian friend were to fall in love with a lovely Russian lesbian that she could see from Alaska—and enter into an adult personal relationship with that Russian—Sarah Palin doesn’t think her lesbian friend’s lover should be able to emigrate to the United States.
