50. I have never understand why they think that either.
Fri May 8, 2020, 01:17 AM
May 2020

I will never forget back in the 80s when I first came out. Drunken assholes that looked pretty much like those guys were trotted out in front of me and at least on one occasion rang the doorbell to my house at 3:00am and when my mother gladly opened the door (She said I was an embarrassment to her for being gay), he said, "I'm just the man who can make that gal straight." This was all before I eventually ended up getting raped. That is a whole different story. There were no "hate crimes" back then and no one helped you either when stuff like that happened back then. Not the police, not mental health, not family. No one.

Still, they trotted these assholes out as "examples" of who I should be dating instead of other women. Even if I was straight, I'd fake gay to get away from devolving the species that way. THAT was the best they could come up with to try to make me straight? That was what they were all trying to do, my mother, the rest of my family, neighbors, random strangers. Yeah, THAT was the best they could come up with. I don't think so. Not in this lifetime.

I don't see how they think they are the "superior" race. Nope.

Not just people of a 'superior race', but also of the 'superior sex'. There are a lot of men out there who do not take rejection very well, never considering that the problem is they are unappealing assholes. Unbelievable that such lowlifes often believe that they can turn someone gay straight, but then again, that isn't what it is about. It is about power. Insecure people are more likely to attack people they perceive as vulnerable to elevate their own importance.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that.

on a lot of rubbish some asshole misreads out of context in a bible of uncertain provenance, meaning one of the least accurate translations the far right is fond of putting out 'cause the KJV is too hard of morons. Uncut hair, check, untrimmed beard, check, firearm fetish, check, stupidly thinking skin color means anything beyond tolerance to tropical sunlight, check, utterly dead eyes, check. You know, some offshoot of Christian Identity.

The FBI needs to take these guys very seriously. They pose a threat to this entire country.

Putin sure knew which organization to fund to destabilize this country. The NRA was perfect.

BUT, I still have a question:
Why is Georgia Governor Kemp doing a thumbs up next to a guy wearing a shirt like that? The person in the picture is actually a white supremacist named Jim Stachowiak who rants on social media about killing Black Lives Matters supporters. Why is Kemp giving the thumbs up sign beside someone who is so obviously another white supremacist? How is he getting away with that without someone holding his feet to the fire for it? He claims he takes pictures with a lot of people, blah blah blah, but why hold the thumbs up like that?

They most likely thought they would get way with it. A lot of stuff goes unpunished down in this area of the country. Or it is swept under the rug and hate crimes are never charged. They prosecute things as regular crimes a lot when they should have been prosecuted as hate crimes. It's sickening.

Just like George Zimmerman did. The only reason these guys and Zimmerman got arrested at all is just because of the public outcry. I hate it, but I'm afraid that's what's going to happen.
