Of course – the greatest haters of equal rights for gay people are secretly gay themselves (or bi), and lashing out at other gays to try and hide who they are, and assauge their guilt from their ridiculous puritanical religions. Puritanical cuz the religion itself is dominated by self deniers.

Spread this story far and wide. Embarass the assholes.

And break down the closet, so the good people, religious or not, will discover gay people are all around them. People that they know and respect. And as said somewhere in the bible – “and the walls will come tumbling down.” Poetic justice.

Jeff, you idiot..equal rights for RELIGION??????????? That is a choice…and a bad one at that.

We want equal rights for ourselves. I will continue to ridicule, laugh at, argue with and work to remove tax exempt status for all you stupid religious people.

Because that doesn’t infringe on your equal rights..you can choose not to be brainwashed by the christian cult.

you nut job.

P.S. I am sorry that some of you may think I rejoice in the demise of religious people and mock those who believe in supernatural mumbo jumbo, but you must understand, being oppressed, having your life destroyed and generally being pushed to the back of the bus by religious people for your whole life makes you – well – HATE your oppressers. And forgiveness does not come easily. Not with the scars that Christians inflict upon their perceived enemies. For the Christians / religious people who are not oppressive and who are actually tolerant and accepting and understanding, I apologize only to you.

Well, let’s see, Ted Haggard, Mark Foley, now Robert Williams, my Christmas wishes have all come true so far! Now let’s see Charlie Christ (Gov – FL – R) pictures on the net with his former boyfriends and I will gladly fall over dead with happiness! Thank you Oh Merciful God for showing us the way – just hide your sexuality, then get busted with same-sex prostitutes and ruin your entire family…. ah yes Christietianity is sublime! Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Jesus was just like all those who supposedly speak in his name?

It’s yet another proof that the students of such a “university” would be better off emotionally, educationally,and financially at a state university.

drewski, the thing is that I knew Ken Blackell when he was a good man. He seems to have really gone around the bend as he moved up the ranks.

It’s really a shame as we had once thought that he would be an ally. It turned out that he became an ardent fighter against civil rights.

I’ve not heard about the CCV for years. Burress used to appear all over the place talking about “evil gays.” He was paramount in saying that gays wanted “special rights.”

Some may think I’m just enjoying this hypocrite get hit by the karma train. You have to know the backstory of Ohio politics. Southwest Ohio, specifically Cincy suburbs like Mason, Blue Ash and West Chester, are the home of some of the most bizarrely right-wing people in the country. Phil Burress, head of Citizens for Community Values, was the one who put together the ballot issue that banned gay marriage in Ohio’s constitution. Burress is a self-confessed porn addict who has his wife go online and look up porn for him so he can keep his addiction under control. Ken Blackwell, former secretary of state, also has a base there, and is one of the most self-hating black men you will ever find. Rich Cincinnatians are noteworthy for their huge contributions to the most right-wing crap you can imagine (let me raise the ghost of Marge Schott at this time). The northern strip of Ohio (basically north of the Turnpike, and including Akron) is generally not obsessed with your sex life. Go south of there, especially along I-75, and the necks get redder and the lies run deeper. Yeah, we could all leave Ohio–and go to which other jobless broke state?

The point is that Ohio is known for this stuff, some parts more than others. That dude can go pursue men all he wants, but if he’s married, he DOES NOT have the right to embarrass and humiliate his family–just as Eliot Spitzer had no right to do same to his wife.

Most people I’ve known from Cincy (family included) are nice, decent people. Somehow they have a political structure that’s all about control and sexual taboos and just a lot of tension. In Cleveland, we have amazingly corrupt and byzantine local government, but they don’t usually have the stupidity to interfere with our drinking or sex.

And so another “Christian” official succumbs to his human needs and desires and gets caught in the act. It will be very interesting to hear what his “story” is. Could we have another Ted Haggard soap opera in the making? Stay tuned folks!

TRACE: I was organist at Old St. Mary’s in Over-The-Rhine 1969-1976. Those stories were from my PASTOR, the late The Very Rev. Carl A. Piepenbreier, O.P., who went up to Dayton to say Mass for the German prisoners as a young priest. Yes, of COURSE there were Germans in Cincinnati before WWII, but a lot of them who settled there AFTER WWII *were* ex-Nazis. I have never lived in such a hate-filled city in my life, and that includes Dallas, TX, where I went to grad school.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Cincinnati is arguably the most miserably antigay city in Eastern North America. It’s a combination of redneck, bibble-thumper, and stereotypical German analness. (If you live in a 452 zip code, you can’t order porn through the mail.) Entrapment? Trace–you say that like it makes a difference. Dude was there for dick. Cincy police aren’t known for being on good terms with blacks or gays, and the Hamilton County Sheriff is no better. But since state law in Ohio is so antigay, this slob had no rights to be violated. Sorry ’bout his luck. He should pray–just not on his knees.
