FReerer rant over Scott Eckern of Ca Musical Theatre's resignation
OY!

"This kind of story reaffirms why I voted Yes on 8. I am sick to death of the ram-it-down-your-throat mentality of the gay mafia.

I’ve had gay friends, and still know some good, decent people who are gay...but they are NOT the militant ones who feel the need to push push push push.

I lost a friendship before the 2004 election because a guy who I had considered a good friend could NOT shut up about how gay marriage was more important than anything...and I finally told him that there was no way in hell gay marriage was more important than national security because he might not even be around to (fill in the blank, won’t repeat it here).

The gay mafia doesn’t get it; they do NOT bring about sentiments of sympathy or empathy, they drive a stake in their own “cause.” I don’t really care if people are gay, but they are starting to making me care, and not in the way they hope. Unfortunate for the gay people who don’t make their bedroom activities the focal point of their existence and are good, productive and kind people who just happen to be gay. If I were one of them, I’d be activating to call off the dogs because they will be the biggest losers as far as “acceptance.”

Sorry, just had to rant. Still fuming over the story in the OP. Score one for the gay mafia, at least in short-terms goals.

4. "Ram it down your throat mentality?"
You are the ones ramming your version of morality on them with this vote. All they want is the same rights you have. Why am I even writing this? Using logic on these people is pointless.

6. Reich-wing bigots think it's all about them
They don't want to hear about equal rights for gay people because it makes them feel uncomfortable and forces them to confront their seething hate and prejudices.

10. "good, decent people"
This sounds like how my racist uncle described blacks he approved of because they "knew their place".
More right-wing code words.

15. Exactly. Never met one who didn't have his hand out for my share
of tax money to cover tax breaks for his baby-bounty the IRS gives hetero couples, nor the schools I help pay for, nor a thousand other things we pay for but never derive direct benefit from. But let one of us ask for equal benefit and the whole friggin' scenario changes. Shouldda seen one's head explode when I mentioned how I resented paying for his baby-bounty welfare tax breaks he got for breeding when he objected to my getting married. Now, mf'er, we're even.

That argument usually shuts 'em right up. They're usually not "swooft" enough to think their way out of it.

12. I can see why he "had gay friends" ...
I would've told him to fuck off a long time ago.

14. If something is being "rammed down [his] throat,"
it's because he has his nose down where it really ought not be.

19. The Straights...
have been ramming their view of morality and "correct" sexuality down our throats for eons now. Stay the hell out of our business and you won't have anything to worry about. We support straight society through our higher taxes to pay for THEIR breeding.

I'm not going further because I already have a blood pressure problem and do not with to make it worse.

People like this freeper make me :puke:
