Reply #117: The Gay KKK.

Specifically, who are you comparing to a Klansman? I find this to be a contemptible use of hyperbole.

Contemptible, hyperbolic, and ever so unoriginal. Aren't you just floored by the similarity between comparing us to bloodthirsty Klansmen and Lou Sheldon's and Pat Robertson's comparisons of gays with Nazis? (Gee, come to think of it, I even referred to those very comparisons in the OP! Do you suppose that - gasp! - one or two people haven't actually read the OP?)

You know, I was just reading something published after I posted my OP, that said-- just a sec... Ah yes, here it is:

Falwell became a household name in the late 1970s with attacks on homosexuality that were often crude and dehumanizing. At a rally in Miami in 1977, just days before a referendum on a recently approved local ordinance to outlaw bias against gays, Falwell told the crowd that "so-called gay folks would just as soon kill you as look at you."

Sounds to me like the "killer-gay" memes of Falwell and his ilk are so insidious and pervasive that some "liberals" don't even realize they're echoing them.
