AR school board member - 'they want me to wear purple because five queers committed suicide?'
https://secure3.convio.net/hrc/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=959

Here's what a school board official, guiding the education of our children wrote: "Seriously they want me to wear purple because five queers committed suicide. The only way im wearin it for them is if they all commit suicide. I cant believe the people of this world have gotten this stupid. We are honoring the fact that they sinned and killed therselves because of their sin. REALLY PEOPLE."

McCance's anti-gay rant didn't stop there.

In response to a post critical of his vitriolic messages, Clint McCance responded: "No because being a fag doesnt give you the right to ruin the rest of our lives. If you get easily offended by being called a fag then dont tell anyone you are a fag. Keep that shit to yourself. I dont care how people decide to live their lives. They dont bother me if they keep it to thereselves. It pisses me off though that we make a special purple fag day for them. I like that fags cant procreate. I also enjoy the fact that they often give each other aids and die. If you arent against it, you might as well be for it."

These words come from a man who sits on a school board – someone who is supposed to serve as a trusted role model for all youth in his community.

Clint McCance's despicable words are unacceptable. Education officials in Arkansas have roundly condemned McCance's remarks, but that's not enough. Clint McCance must resign. Add your name to this call to action now.

2. If this guy were beaten to death with a stick, I wouldn't shed a tear.
The sooner bullshit wastes of life like this one leave the planet so I can breathe their air, the better off we'll be. He's just spouting hatred because he knows he isn't going to receive any retribution from it.

14. I believe that if you carefully studied your response to the school
board member's comment, you might find that your response was rather similar to his. I'm not supporting what he said. I'm suggesting that the intensity of your disagreement with his remarks drove you to extremes that you might latter regret.

15. Mmmmm, no.
I'm related to four lesbians and a gay man. The days of me being a live-and-let-live, "ignore them and they'll go away" doormat to bullshit assholery such as this are over. Hate like this has an audience. It has infulence. It's a disease. It needs to be cured, because it damn sure cannot be treated.

5. Erm...
Do you all know that in classic art works, you will find the robe that they draped over Jesus he walked through the streets carrying the cross, and the robe they used to drape over his dead body was a royal purple?

11. No. They want you to wear purple because you masturbate in the restroom too much.
