Does anyone else find the name Gaynor hilarious in this article?

1 person = “Hysteria in Atlanta?” That’s Hyperbole. At first I thought angry straight mobs were setting out to attack innocent LGBT folks on the streets in GA reading this. So much for a headline. That’s not good sir. There are anti-gay people out there, But: Take it down a notch.

Gerren Gaynor’s just upset because evidently nobody’s invited him to do so much as a guest spot on “Noah’s Arc.” He would be featured as the ‘House’s Paragon of Masculinity, flown out to LA to rescue African-American Manhood from some wrong-living brethren on the West Coast.

What a self-righteous BAP. All that money the family spent on his education, and he’s no better than some homophobe…on the church end of the Obama campaign. Ouch, ’cause it’s true. Besides, why’s he care so much what other people do? Maybe because his sense of self is not fully established, and what somebody else does is something that threatens his sense of self. He can see a therapist for that problem (there are thousands in Greater Atlanta), and maybe in the meantime he could bestir himself to go over to the King Memorial and consider Coretta Scott King’s thoughts on gays. Hmmm…but I suspect that since she was a woman, hers would not be an equally valid voice either.

Hey Mr. Gaynor – How would you feel if some white redneck told you “black folks are welcome here in Yazoo City; just make sure to act, y’know, white enough.”

I assume you’d be raging mad. And you should.

Well, how the hell do you think your comments make queer folks feel?!?

Well, I imagine it’s partially looking for a scapegoat to blame for the recession/depression/”correction”. Gotta have one, y’know.

we must remember that our youth are in school to get an education so they can be produtive individuals remember we must all learn from each other so we can grow in our thinking no man or woman is better than the other and no one has a heaven or hell to put a person in so no one can pass judgment on any person because of sexuality, race or religion that what make this country great because there are so many different cultures of people living here, so give gay and lebian people a chance to show the world what they are made of! they too want their share of the american dream.

Interesting to note that the homophobic vocal portion of Atlanta & Georgia are as good at avoiding facts & promoting stereotypes today as they were when I lived there in 1980-87.

If the California Supreme Court doesn’t destroy prop 8, we will be up against reckless hate by christian fundamentalists. We will need to destroy that brand of religion! Sign me up now, and sign me up ten minutes ago!

Maybe this Gaynor person (I won’t call him a gentleman) should be made to watch the DVDs of a show that was on Bravo back in 2003 called Boy Meets Boy and see if he can pick out who’s gay and who’s straight.
