Comments on: Billboard Featuring Openly Gay Marine Vandalized http://www.365gay.com/news/billboard-featuring-openly-gay-marine-vandalized/ The daily news source for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:11:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Drewski http://www.365gay.com/news/billboard-featuring-openly-gay-marine-vandalized/comment-page-1/#comment-73977 Drewski Mon, 05 Oct 2009 18:14:06 +0000 http://www.365gay.com/?p=9931#comment-73977 @jessieka--you said "After all it is tennesse.(sic)" Three things. First, proper nouns are capitalized in English, unless they're lower-case in a stylistic presentation (like a club name). This isn't one of those times. Second, there are two e's at the end of Tennessee. When you put down my home state and can't spell it, it makes me think you might be from one of our more benighted neighbors--perhaps Arkansas or Mississippi. But I won't be rude and presume. Third, why do you feel compelled to cite Tennesseeans as bigots? You haven't heard about Prop H8 in California, or the bashings in New York? Oh...that's right...Southerners have a monopoly on racism and homophobia, which is why "Do the Right Thing" and American History X" were both set somewhere in Dixie, yes? @jessieka–you said “After all it is tennesse.(sic)” Three things.

We had a wonderful equality rally today (October 1): "Raise Your Voice." Tim spoke eloquently. It was a proud day for our community. I truly hope that this will encourage everyone to stand up and be counted for who they are, not just here in Memphis but anywhere.

When you are full of hate, the truth is offensive.
