One man said he moved to Norman because he thought it was the kind of place that would never accept the GLBT community with open arms. A woman, who described herself as “bi-racial,” said she was tired of the GLBT plight being compared to Civil Rights.

Some of those who opposed the proclamation claimed that members of the GLBT community would use it to infiltrate the public school system, essentially allowing the “gay lifestyle” to become a part of the curriculum.

Others claimed that council recognizing October as GLBT History Month was a waste of their time. Some members of the audience even suggested that any council members voting in favor of the proclamation may have trouble getting reelected.

Numerous residents also claimed the Bible was their guiding light, citing the ancient text as their primary reason for opposing the proclamation and the GLBT community in general.

And for those in attendance, it was hard to ignore the intolerant grumblings, the exasperated sighs and cold, hard stares that followed comments from supporters of the GLBT proclamation.

2. It was 3 hours of comments evenly divided for and against the proclamation which passed 7-1.

He was probably too young and had not built up enough defenses to cope with this. It makes one wonder if these types of proclamations are net good or bad as this should have been a positive for the GLBT community yet look what resulted.

Shutting up religious types is next to impossible so putting all hopes on that is futile

3. The evil comments were loud, personal attacks on all of us

for who and what we are. For who and what he was.

The supportive comments, I'm sure, were general comments in favor of respect, tolerance, and recognizing everyone in the community. We've all heard those kinds of discussions in community meetings. Vaguely supportive, positive, but not very specific about anything.

Which comments have the most impact? Which ones were the loudest. Which ones were aimed at people most personally. Which ones would hurt the most? We all know those answers. :(

It's no wonder that after 3 hours he came out of there hurting. I think any of us would have come out of there enraged, even if we have years of experience building up our armor.

Being young, and not having his own personal armor, he took that hurt inside and couldn't let it go without help. Obviously, he didn't have that help. :cry:

They know they can't do what they secretly want too... and that's to simply blow Queers away....
