270. I don't live in the US.
And you're really grasping at straws. I don't have "rage" for Elton John, just disappointment, and less with him and more with the reactions I see to this kind of thing.
I have many issues with religious people who try to deny the rights of others, just as I have a lot of gratitude for those who's religious beliefs go against their politics but they believe in a persons freedom. And pass legislation that goes against their religion but with their sense of justice.
And gratitude for those with no religious belief that fight the good fight, and disappointment with those religious or not who try to deny people their rights.

Don't tell me who I do and don't have rage for, especially since I don't have much rage. It's blinding and counterproductive, just as fighting for equality while claiming you wish to deny others their rights.

Being nasty and bigoted won't drive out nasty bigotry.
