Thank you. And many apologies to queers that I inadvertently lumped in with him.

4. Gay.
Who else but a total closet case would give a rats ass about breasts on statues and other peoples sex lives? Especially gay folks?

15. That's what I meant.
Therefore, we are in agreement.

Again. Many apologies to gays that I insulted by lumping AssCrack in to the midst.

7. He ain't gay
He's an Inanimate Fetishist. Seeing that statue with that bare breast must have driven him mad with lust. Constantly calling to him "John...John...".

9. Reminds me of that move about Ed Gein
how his mother is always telling him that he is sinning and must kill.

26. I like it!
Ed Gein and John Ashcroft, two men uncomfortable in their own skins.

8. Could be! I'm naive about these things but my child's Catholic school
director just left his wife and 5 kids for a man. I was shocked but my friend told me she thought he was gay the minute she saw him. She was shocked when she found out he was married with kids.

Guess, you never know. But, I'm now always skeptical of people who are adamantly religious or adamantly against something that is not harming others. Those people are usually trying to fight there own demons by trying to ignore or fight the issue they truly desire!

14. Being gay is not a "demon", actually
Feeling forced to conform to society and taking innocent parties with you is a tragedy but please don't call being gay demonic. We hear enough of it from our Pretzledent.

24. You're right! I apologize if my statement was misconstrued.
Edited on Mon Jan-03-05 07:08 PM by Verve
What I meant was that if you are not living an authentic life then you have created your own demons. Being gay is not demonic! Openly critizing a gay lifestyle or any other behavior (that isn't hurting others) while hypocritically doing that same behavior in secret is demonic. (IMO)

Unfortuneately, many gay people have to live their lives in secret due to fear of verbal or even physical harm from their family, friends and community. This again is not being demonic. It's being safe. What is demonic is the loud mouthed bigots who critize and berate in public, what they do in secret.

17. That is a rather retro, insensitive expression to use. Sort of
the equivalent of "woman's place is in the kitchen".

But we CAN agree that there are some serious issues, whatever the F they are, with that miserable John Ashcroft.

19. Read this book once
It was a true account of very expensive call girls in Washington DC. Men with an overabundance of power seem to have very bizarre fetishes. I think he runs around with items painfully attached to or inserted in, body parts and/or orifices. I'm not kidding. Clinically, he fits the type.

23. I always liked that saying
queer as a 3 dollar bill, but then again so am I

I don't think that Asscroft is gay--he's a Pentacostal

he's just extremely repressed about stuff
