Reply #30: "Gays Are the Only Minority Group That's Made Advances" Under Bush!? [View All]

[David Zephyr]

Your unsupportable and offensive comment in Post #17 where you actually had the gall to write that "Gays are the only minority group that's made advances" under the Bush Administration was the subject of my reply to that post.

I'd hope that you would read your very own words again and perhaps contemplate the gross insensitivity behind them.

Do you actually believe such utter nonsense?

Making insulting and degrading comments like that about an entire community of oppressed Americans is hardly building a "bridge" as you claim in Post #20.

Another thing you wrote, in case you overlooked it, was your concern of "the creeping Theocracy (which is a MUCH greater abuse of humanity than the subjugation of gays is". Why on earth would you say such a cruel thing? I thought I knew you.

I would be happy to take you to friends here in Los Angeles who were discharged from serving in the Armed Forces for over twenty years for being "queer", losing everything. Then we might visit the widowed who lost their homes to their partners hetero "families" after death. Perhaps, a visit to a friend whose companion was considered "untouchable" when he was buried. Those fired from their jobs for being only who they are.

Also, this statement by you about me is untrue: "You're the one who posted many demand posts flatly stating that anyone who didn't share your views was despicable." I'm the first one to admit that I ride a very high horse and do so proudly, but I've never "stated" to anyone here at the DU that they were "despicable".

Your post #17 was offensive and insulting. You should be able to recognize that.
