But, to comment on the actual article thing.. isn’t the world overpopulated anyway? I don’t see the glory in being a baby-maker if they’re just going to end up malnourished or something.

It’s nice to see they’re coming up with new insults, though. I mean.. really..

You’d think after hating us so much, they’d get more creative, hm?

So lets get one thing straight (that’s ironic) sperm and egg did not create everything, the Universe has expanded from a primeval hot and condensed condition at some time in the past,around 13 billion years ago, and continues to expand to this very day. Which has NOTHING to do with Heterosexual sex. (by the way, the universe is curved not straight)
And Gays bring some of the most beautiful things to this world, Michelangelo’s art, De Vinci’s genius, or Tchaikovsky’s stunning music. It’s some of those breeders who think they own it all.

Someone who cannot quit the cult even with what they do to us loses credibility before even speaking.

I saw something similar in the thread about the fat guy in the scooter at Walmart. Just what the hell is it that makes some of you so reflexively defensive of the possibility of misunderstanding, even when you could well be the target and consequent victim of what was absolutely no “misunderstanding”?

It’s the notion of privilege. The e-mail writer demonstrated a notion of privilege by suggesting that Andrew Sullivan should “Suck a dick, and suck it up, sweetheart.” A cocksucking man is innately inferior to a pussy-fucking one. If that’s too graphic for you, then you don’t belong in the discussion.

This came up in the prior thread with the dude in the scooter. Any of you grow up with anyone disabled? Are you so naive that it never occured to you that disability doesn’t stop people from homophobia? If so, you’re assuming that “the cripple” would never have that thought, most likely because s/he couldn’t–they’re too far down the ladder. That’s a statement of presumed privilege in itself.

Do you think non-whites can’t be racist? Do you think women can’t be sexist? Do you think people from third-world countries are somehow devoid of prejudices because they haven’t been contaminated by ultra-materialistic societies? Those are all lies and delusions. You believe any of those, you’re denying those people the capacity to form their own opinions, for good or ill. Some would call it seeing the worst in others. I would call it having the wisdom and humility to not preassign roles or functions to people, or relative worth for that matter. Not one of us gets it right every time. Better to live in the wisdom of not knowing and working not to presume, than to assign arbitrary groups of people with an immunity to very human behavior.

Not to be funky here, but I suggest you reread the post. I was talking about an attitude shared by some straights. Made that clear. Anyone who reads it as an attack on straights is not a careful reader.

Be well.

Sincerely,

James
