A woman was raped by four men because she was a lesbian.

“Four men beat and raped a woman and left her naked on a central Richmond street last weekend, punctuating their 45-minute attack with comments that made clear why they chose her as their victim — she is a lesbian, police said.”

If some old lady spat in my face, she would have ended up with a broken jaw.

On another note, most gays seem less than capable when it comes to self-defense. This makes us easy victims. As a consequence, we clearly need to possess the ability to throw a punch. That way perspective “gay bashers” will end up with real consequences for their actions. With that being said, I urge all gay readers to take a self-defense course. It is time we begin turning the tables.

TigerTzu said “…we merely desire for you to mind your own damn business in your own damn bedroom.”

There is no business going on in her bedroom. That’s why she’s here bothering us, the poor, lonely douche.

Sometimes I wonder what world Ruby-Sachs lives in. Gay men are prohibiting from donating blood by the FDA.

The rule technically states that any male who has had sex with a male since 1977 is prohibited from giving blood.

I suppose lesbians are permitted to give blood. I am unsure how transgendered / intersex people are affected.

Bigots, as a rule, have always believed that violence is an acceptable means to expressing their bigotry. Conservatives in particular strongly espouse this attitude (hence their love of war) and this is why they have always opposed hate crimes laws. They do believe that there are times when people should be allowed to commit violent acts, such as when the victim is a homosexual.

What we need to do is work to make sure any violence is loudly publicized. God knows the Mormons have leveled all kinds of accusations of violence at gays angry over their role in passing Prop 8. We need to turn things around and make it clear what’s going on. Remember, a lot of people think that gays are actually safe nowadays because America is supposedly so “accepting”.

Shelley Mitchell: sad, girl, but you’re obviously not too bright! I think it’s about time you washed your magic underwear; the stains have reached your brain cells, and they’ve become cloudy!

Shelley, you need to cure your own vile affliction. It’s called intolerance, and Christ wouldn’t approve. Concentrate on your own mote, sister.

Here’s a solution for you and all the other folks who don’t approve of homosexuality: don’t be gay. Simple as that. Problem solved! Now get your paws off our civil rights and your peeping-tom voyeur glasses out of our bedrooms!

To Shelley Mitchell: That is YOUR opinion, for what little it is worth. We neither need nor desire your agreement or your approval, we merely desire for you to mind your own damn business in your own damn bedroom. As far as normal, that is a matter of perspective. I am quite sure if you were placed under scrutiny, many would not find you as normal as you think you are. We do not need to be cured, but you do need to be educated. Maybe if you wrap some toilet paper around your head, you can accomplish 2 things at once.

Let’s wage war on these religions, burn the churches, spit in their faces and burn their bibles. Violence is the only answer.

I’m gonna give it to you straight (pun intended). There are plenty of us out here that do not agree with or approve of homosexuality, period. We don’t have to be church-goers, and we CERTAINLY don’t have to be fans of “Gangsta” – or any other kind – of rap, either. We are just NORMAL people who feel that it’s just plain wrong, wrong, WRONG!

It has nothing to do with “hatred”; I do not hate gay people – if anything, they are to be pitied. Somewhere along the line, for whatever reason, their desires crossed the line into perversion. Violence is not the answer. Finding a cure for this vile affliction is.
