7. Thank you!

Some people don't apparently read the rules here. :-(

4. Ignorance unfortunately is everywhere. Guess she better get in touch with

the swans at the Boston Common who are a "gay" couple, let them know they aren't "normal".

[AuntieM1957]

6. So sad, and I hope like hell all DUers from outside Texas

realize that we are not all homophobes.

I was born in Houston, TX. Raised in Houston, TX.

And I was taught that there is no "normal".

It's all about love. All shapes, all styles.

8. All species..all cultures..it is something that is natural in all of God's

creations. Hate and intolerance is taught.

9. The post you linked to is deleted

So I didn't see that, but was it by the OP of the thread? Actually, I haven't read the whole thread, but saw the last where it was locked and the OP (democracy white) was TS'ed.

I guess I am supprised by that. Actually I'm suprised by several DU'ers that have been recently tombstoned.

10. No, it was not by the OP, it was by this poster

If you believe that homosexuality is Normal, then ask yourself what would happen to the world population if all consisted of homosexuals? We'd die out as a species. Whether you believe in evolution or creationism, in God or no God, this is a truth. It is fact. It's not normal. Sorry. Want to educate me on a new definition for normal?

I have no idea why the OP was tombstoned!

[icymist]

11. I saw that too. Something very strange.....

Must be something we don't know about.

[mongo]

12. Very odd that the person who made the offensive post is still with us

and democracy white is TS'ed. I've never seen her post anything remotely freeperish.

[kikiek]

15. I agree with you. I always thought they were a good contributor to DU

I wonder how many more will be tombstoned on account of this?

[icymist]

14. Well! That got removed pretty fast! n/t

16. Another thread started:" Is homosexuality normal?"

and a forced answer from a closed mind.

17. I did get a chuckle from the first response

it's normal if you're gay.

:woohoo:

19. Heterosexuality isn't normal ...

... it's just 'common.'
- Dorothy Parker

(and a few other of my favs ...)

The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and three
hundred sixty two admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean
that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more
supervision.
- Lynne Lavner

The only unnatural sex act is one which you cannot perform.
- Dr. Alfred Kinsey

I have never come across anyone in whom the moral sense was dominant
who was not heartless, cruel, vindictive, log-stupid, and entirely lacking in the smallest sense of humanity.
- Oscar Wilde

"You know ... whenever some yahoo talks at me about how he hates the
fact that Gays took a Perfectly Good Word and ruined it, I reply that what I hate is the way some people took a Perfectly Good Word like 'Family' and turned it into a code word for intolerance."
- Bruce Garrett, artist and software engineer

Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men
holding guns than holding hands?
- Ernest Gaines, African-American author

I am reminded of a colleague who reiterated "all my homosexual patients are quite sick" - to which I finally replied "so are all my heterosexual patients."
- Ernest van den Haag, psychotherapist

The next time someone asks you, "Hey, howdja get to be a homosexual
anyway?" tell them, "Homosexuals are chosen first on talent, then
interview... then the swimsuit and evening gown competition pretty much gets rid of the rest of them."
- Karen Williams, comedian

It is better to be hated for what one is than loved for what one is not.
- Andre Gide

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't
matter and those who matter don't mind.
- Theodor Geisel, better known as children’s author Dr. Seuss
