I knew things weren't great at DU for GLBT people.

But I didn't know it was now acceptable to point blank say you don't approve of gay people.

1. Yeah, at least most of the homophobes here try to mask their bigotry
with rationalization.

14. No Problem, Sir
I can only repeat that alerts on things like that work better for everyone than posts in reply calling others bigots and what-not. We cannot act against things we never see ourselves.

25. Oh yeah, they're a serious problem here.
Toads are like athlete's foot. They come around once in a while, they're never pleasant when they show up, and you can never seem to get rid of them permanently.

Also, I was in the nation's capitol recently and had a flat tire. Lesson learned: Make sure, while you're in *DC*, you have a tire repair *Kit* with you.

21. I dunno. The servings of ham and rice we have received today
have been warmed over and decidedly bland.

5. There will always be people like that...
We can't be the thought police. They are misguided, and sometimes I think they are in denial about their own sexuality. I think it's better to take the high road and hope they mean it when they say they support you.

It sucks, I know, but there's nothing you or anyone can do. Like I said, we can't be the thought police. We better hope to Goddess there are NEVER any thought police.

:hug:

7. Good damn grief!
Edited on Fri Dec-19-08 09:22 PM by racaulk
How much more of this nastiness are we going to have to endure? Seriously.

I alerted on that post. Maybe something will be done, but I'm not too hopeful.

:wow:


ETA: I stand corrected, based on The Magistrate's post upthread. Thank you!
