:sarcasm:

Obama should get a gay dog?

The closet isn't repressive and dangerous?

It's not gay suicide ( 4X higher than heterosexual teens, one in three attempt it) it's got to be sanitized to be: TEEN suicide.

Sh*t if a young person doesn't post a very sincere and heartfelt thread in the most optimal political phraselogy, then all of the PolySci PHD's from birth, find a lot of red herrings and straw men to throw at the data and a way to avoid the real issue and the real plea...a voice and recognition of issues.

Check it out, you won't believe your eyes...or maybe...you will. *sigh*

1. I have no trouble believing that kind of shit is posted here.

Notice that I no longer have a donor star?

The two things are connected.

2. I Knew An Asshat...

who said that there should be no breakdown for teen suicide.

As for donating to DU I am not donating to a board that lets homophobes spew their shit.

3. They serve one purpose -

we get to refine our thinking and see just exactly what we are up against.

The fact that some have no shame making fun of such a tragic topic is a little hard to believe.

4. It's really amazing

still going.

6. These posters are totally breaking DU rules

5. Check out the latest one: saying they have no sympathy for gays or dead teens

8. Nice.

I saw that.

And the false logic tests and the name people to a position that doesn't yet exist hurdle.

12. Welcome to the new democratic party

They forget we've been here all along, and we never took an eight year break to go be a pretend republican like they are pretending to be a democrat.

they just assume that everyone is just like them, no matter where they go. They don't hate the gay in America. They just hate the gay in themselves.

7. "I bet Obama gets a black dog"

Or,"I bet Obama gets a half black, half white dog."

Would that stand? No, and it shouldn't. And, the poster should either be TSed or warned. It wouldn't be funny, it would be racist.

9. It was pretty nasty and not at all funny.

But the main theme of the plight of gay teens--why that is of no concern for some.

10. seriously, the shit on that thread is so disturbing...

i thought people on this board were PROGRESSIVE. but i guess even liberals can hate the gays. so, so sad.

last post comment takes the cake:

Appoint them to what? The NAAG?

Oops! That Dept. hasn't been created yet has it?

(National ASSociation for the Advancement of Gays

correct me if i'm wrong, but somehow this FAAG* doesn't believe that happydreams' post was intended as humorous- gently mocking the gays, but coming from a place of love.

*Fuck Asshats Against Gays

11. Not sure how to take that one myself

I considered some replies, but it just seemed to weird and vague to even draw attention to it with a reply.

the worst was the stupid notion from one genius to the affect: how does raising the profile of gay teens in a positive way affect the terribel statisitcs about gay teens?

Uh... well, like this, hate speech, hate violence, family rejection seeps in especially in very early years and all the OP was asking for was some repsect and acceptance for gay teens. How hard is that to get?

Instead blow hards were bullsh*tting about:

What dept? The cabinet? Give us names -now!

Oh, puhleez, I thought the post was well written and heart felt. I guess if we posted a thread: Boy Scouts To Have Recognition in the New Administration, they would have been sobbing about "mom, country and apple pie?"
It was shameful and disturbing thread for the many little petty meanesses expressed against one of our own.
I felt as if I had fallen into a rw forum in a strange, distrubing nightmare and it was 2000 all over again and dumbya's people were the one's celebrating.
