Wow. Wow. That woman is completely off her rocker. Two year olds? "We" control the educational system? "We" control the electoral system?

It's frightening to me to realize that this woman is an elected "official."

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!

These people should REALLY get a life!!

Homosexuality has been around since the beginning of time.

Really. COME ON!

So let's see. A few terrorists crash some planes into a few buildings. Millions of people die. On national TV.

Two guys or two girls walk down the street. They kiss. They're in love.

Which is worse, hmmm?

GOD, I hate homophobia SO MUCH!!!!

So just because I'm in love with another girl, that means I'm worse than Saddam Hussien?! (sp...)

GROW. UP. PEOPLE. :mad:

[cybertheo]

...Wow...
Eureka Springs controlled by Gays!

She makes homophobes look like the complete morons they are.

My theory is that most people who are homophobic are truly uneducated and are only stating "facts" that they hear. Only their "facts" are in fact lies and unsubstansiated by any truths at all.
If we are worse than any terrorist, why are there cities out there rebuilding and trying to attract our tourism dollars? Why are there states actually passing legal marriages for same sex couples? Why are there more gay couples out there raising well rounded and well educated individuals when they should be raising sex offenders and rapists?
I don't understand how people can still believe most of the lies that are out there, regardless of how many times they've been proven wrong. I just don't understand......

Exactly! I just have to laugh at comments like these.

She's nothing more than the playground bully who has to beat up on others to make herself feel better and more powerful. It's a shame. :sad2:

As a US Senator, she needs to find more productive things to do with her time like, oh, I don't know, worry about the economy, the war in Iraq, homelessness in America, etc...

I wish I could agree with you, but there are quite a few very well educated homophobic idiots out there. Some are doctors, others are nurses, and others are judges. Heck, the president of the US. He has to have some brains somewhere in that head and he's a flag waving card carrying member of Homophobes R Us.

Thankfully I think she is only a State Rep, not a US Senator. Still no excuse!

[zulemara]

I don't even want to read that link, but it certainly is nothing less than I would expect from a OK state rep. I hate WI to death, but at least I can't be fired for being gay and don't have idiots like that in the state assembly

Rick what you say is sad but true:sad2: I have too often shaken my head in wonder at someone who is reasonably intelligent and well educated and seems otherwise to be a kind and caring person who has this wierd irrational fear of homosexuals. I wish I understood where it did come from as then perhaps it would be easier to converse with these people on such topics.

Often times the person doing the hating is infact a homosexual living the life of a hetero because they are too ashamed to come to terms with what they really are. The biggest protesters, turn out to be what they hate so much but will never admit it, to either themselves or the rest of the world or both.

Im sure you add in some major resentment that there are those that live an out lifestyle only angers these people more because they cant come to terms with what they in fact are. I really believe that if they can make homosexuals seem as depraved and dirty as they possibly can they are reinforcing to themselves they are making the "right choice" in their made up lives.

I'm so naive.
Every time something like this rears up - I'm always taken aback.

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Well, cool! I'm glad I am on YOUR side and not hers!;) :rotfl2:

And really, what a coup for all of you GLBT Americans! With only 10% of men and approximately 5% of women I would think it would be tricky for you to "control" things, but according to this you all have it well in hand. Congrats!:banana:

The idiocy in this region is truly staggering. I guess it is possible to encounter this anywhere, but I think it is more prevalent here.:rolleyes:

Oh, and if GLBT folks control the electoral system WHY have you all elected so many boneheads? Like the one referenced in this thread?

Whoops! Gave her too much credit. Thanks for setting me "straight". :)

[AndyJohn1]

Exactly how do I go about "Recruiting" 2 yr olds....i'm guessing that coaxing them to eat their strained peas is about all the influence anyone has....

I grew up in Oklahoma, thank GOD I had the sense to leave!

[zeitzeuge]

The words out of this woman's mouth makes my ears bleed....

[PghLybrt]

Ok I am confused maybe someone can help me. First I am going to come out and tell yinz that I am from Pittsburgh Pa, born and raised (just incase you didn't know from my screen name.;) ) Anyway Pittsburgh is controlled by gays? If it is I missed the whole thing! :confused3

[TuckandStuiesMom]

:sad1: Awful

[rosiep]

That just made me ill. So, so sad:sad2: :sad1: :sad1:

[inkkognito]

Cuckoo...cuckoo...cuckoo....

The sad thing is, I recently watched a public education film from the 1950s about the "threat of homosexuality," how gays have a "sickness," recruitment of youngsters, etc. and was horrified that such an attitude existed and was spouted publicly. Fast forward to 2008...good Lord, it STILL exists and is being spouted publicly!! :scared1:

I do think that is, sadly, the case in a good number of these instances--but certainly not all. Sometimes I meet people who just seem to need to hate someone (not a need/feeling that I understand at all). For some, they have just been hearing it their whole lives and aren't as good at seeing clearly as grown ups as some others are (some people grow up hearing that homosexualoty is evil and still manage to form their own seperate opinions when the mature so I do not buy the you can't change argument).

[npmommie]

I did not look at the link, because I just get so worked up, and I can feel my BP rise when I read or hear of things like this.

I think what Craig meant is uneducated in the sense that they don't know anything about gay and lesbian people......they believe what they hear, they don't know ( and don't care to know)..... that gay and lesbian people are just like anyone else, they work, they have families, they fall in love, they fall out of love, they get married, they take vacations, they eat dinner, they ride a bike, they take their kids to school, they have a house, they love disney, they hate disney ( gasp!), they go to the movies, they grocery shop, and on and on and on..........just people living their lives.

[AmandaSparks730]

Mmm, I know!!

And you can't be forced/"converted" to being gay/lesbian (etc)

It's not like we wake up in the morning:
"I'm gay".

The next morning:
"I think I'll be straight today."

You can't change it; it's how you are born.

The nerve of these people :sad2:

Some of them know that and hate anyway. Some can know someone, love them, and then when they learn of their orientation, hate them. It's pitiful. It's shameful. It's downright sad.

I spent ages 9-26 in Oklahoma.

Pittsburgh is controlled by gays?!?! Dan Onarato? Luke Ravenshtall?! Wow! I knew there was a reason they were constantly in "board" meetings together. :rotfl:

What I meant by "uneducated" isn't the fact that doctors, lawyers, nurses, the President, Senators, teachers, etc aren't well learned (learn-ed, you know what I mean!). What I'm talking about is the that they are all fed stereotypes as they go through their adolesant (sp) years, and they keep those with them no matter what they hear anywhere else. I mean, if their parents drilled it into their heads that Cats and Dogs were really the leaders of the world, they would still think that even though they had been told otherwise. I know, bad analogy, but you know what I mean!! LOL.
Either way, they're making their statements based on information that has been revoked, and even proved incorrect. THAT'S why their idiots.

Hmmmm so do you think since they are "family" I can get a drink tax exemption? :rotfl: 10% is killing me....not that I drink ...that much....:rolleyes1


On a serious note the HRC sent this to me today, so if any of you want to take action here is really easy way to do so!

I don't think so, they don't give any relief to anyone. Recently there was a place by my house that had a billboard out saying: "Dan, give us a break, put a bus stop here!" LOL.

Bummer.:sad1:

Where my Mom works they actually put a line on your check that says "Dan Tax" so the customers know it is not them that are charging the extra 10%.

And another way off topic item.....did you see how much the bus drivers make!! My god had I known that I would have never went to college! (Ok yes I would have, I love what I do , and I know the drivers go through tons of stuff that is difficult everyday.)

Thanks! I needed that this morning!:thumbsup2

The video is removed from that link.

A gay son. That is so stupendously sad, I can't stand it. Can you imagine having a mother like her? I know there are loads of people out there who cannot or will not accept their gay child, but she is one of the top worst.

I found her remarks obscene and very offensive. I cannot imagine being her child.

Let's send that poor man some pixie dust, shall we?

Hey, thanks Orlando Mike!

John, it's not just the guys that can't agree! LOL! Ask seven of us lesbians if the temperature in the room is ok, and you'll get seven different answers! LOLOLOLOL!

Right. Control the educational system.

You know? We really could take her hate filth and counterpoint it sentence by sentence, but would it really matter? This woman is a mother of a gay son, and she believes it's a deadly lifestyle and that he is more dangerous than a terrorist. I don't think reason, or logic is in her makeup.

[minicoopercraig]

Um...does anyone remember Mary Cheney??? The Vice-president's LESBIAN daughter, who stood BEHIND her dad when he fought to stop legalizing same sex marriages?!?!?! I'm sure her son is as mis-guided as she is, and doesn't think anything of having a mother who condemns his actions. He's probably in SEVERE counseling if I had to guess.
Even if he isn't AND hates what his mother says, I'm sure she has erased all memories from her mind of ever having that child. (Because you know, having a gay child can cause memory loss, blurred vision, tounge swelling and nose bleeds. If these symptoms last more then four hours, please see a Catholic Preist as you may still LOVE your child REGARDLESS of their orientation.)

Thank you, this has been a program brought to you by the letter.....Q...go figure. :)
