Okay, see if you can follow this one.

A teacher in Kentucky was fired for doing a porn film ten years ago. But the Christian Right are helping her get her job back, because now she's a Christian and is moral.

Yet Ms. Martinez, a host on a PBS show, was fired because she did two parody commercials years ago where she mentions "Anal sex" twice and advocates the use of vibrators, both of which she brought to the company's attention. She was fired because these commercials "Undermine her credibility with children".

Martinez was more than likely fired for damage control - to prevent the moral outrage from various right wingers when they found out someone on PBS of all places was parodying their Abstinence commercials. And yet at the same time, the wingnuts are defending a porn actress.

You think the wingers would support a Christian teacher who was gay?

I should note that I am personally against the firing of both women. That's not the point. The point is the lack of consistency and support, the "Oh well she's a CHRISTIAN, so her slutty smutty sex on film doesn't count", when they have such utter bile for other people who do immoral things. I can bet dollars to donuts had she Not been a Christian, the same moral indignants would be screaming for her firing. Y'know, the same kind of people who are going apeshit because a business hung a rainbow flag next to an American flag.
