The sad and ugly side of homophobia
As many of you remember, Oklahoma Congresswoman Sally Kern made a completely tasteless and bigoted statement (especially considering which state she represents and its tragic past) a couple years ago claiming that homosexuality is worse than terrorism. This is nothing new to many of you, but I troll Topix occasionally and found what was essentially a massive "God hates fags" hate-orgy. Again, this is nothing new, but it just reminded me how incredibly sad it is that so many self-proclaimed followers of Christ are so bigoted.

1. I wasn't aware...
that there was a happy and beautiful side of homophobia, LOL. (Just kidding, had to make fun of the idea that there is more than one side - the ugly side - of homophobia.)

2. Nothing said there surprises me one inkling...
These are people who desperately need to get their heads out of their asses, and join the 21st century, rather than the 1st.
