- I don't know how Ted feels personally, but from what I've heard, he
- doesn't like the fundies like Robertson. I also seem to remember
- seeing that his cable empire does not discriminate on the basis of
- sexual orientation. I also remember seeing him with quite a few
- little red ribbons over the years. Besides, he's married to friend
