Among the usual verbal blather and drivel with which I do not agree, there are SEVERAL posts that are not the usual bigoted responses from freepers, but the blatant "I DON'T CARE IF I GET TOSSED OFF OF FR" comments.
in all seriousness, has Freepville been tolerant of other views as of late? Did I miss a memo?
By the way, I know some people can't stomach going to FR, but damn it, I think it's IMPORTANT to know what our counterparts say.
Anyway, here's the link and a few choice comments that made me almost fall out of my chair.

Gosh, you guys are a bunch of swell people....homosexuals now have "emotional and mental disorders" and should be barred from serving as judges? Are you kidding me.
Good grief.

"normal, stable people"....I think that once we figure out what that means, we'll all be for that.
I work with a gentleman who is wonderful at his job, delightful to be around, has a Bush '04 sticker on the back window of his car, is reliable and trustworthy and is the finest employee with whom I have ever had the pleasure of working. He's about as "normal" a person as I have ever met.
And he has been with the same partner (male) for the past 31 years.
They go to church every Sunday morning without fail, with their 2 kids, who they adopted ...a boy and a girl, who are "normal", well-adjusted kids who study hard, have excellent grades and our proud as can be of their parents, who they refer to as "Dad" and "Dad".
He thinks that gay marriage is a non-issue, that marriage is between a man and a woman, and that the gay community has no right to expect society to re-define "marriage" to suit them, especially when the leaders of the gay community behave like "neanderthals" (his word).
They did hold a commitment ceremony, which both sets of parents attended and sat with their grandchildren, of whon they are justifiably very proud.
This is a normal, well-adjusted family where the parents just happen to be gay.
What in Heavens name is "normal"?

this last one is a little back handed, but I guess as long as he's a Republican :)I wonder how long these posts will last??
I may be naive, but as long as I have been monitoring FR, I have NEVER seen so many posts in support of non-discrimination.
