2. Straight advice for the Gay Guy(s and women)
Edited on Sun Aug-03-03 03:44 AM by Prodemsouth
Cool it! There is a serious backlash developing. Came from a party, suprised at some of the remarks said by certain people. The media covered the "sodomy ruling" as if it were a big ruling. Failed to mention that most of the civilized world deleted these laws long ago. When the Georgia supreme court overturned the sodomy law here not that much was made of it-that was 98. In 2003, the ruling by the US Supremes, the media asked whats next, oh horror gasp, gay marriage. There is a sense that gays want to take over and are getting into your face. This trendy Gay chic stuff (Gay Eye, etc,) pushed by members of the Gay community is not helping. There is a sense devloping that this going too far. People that used to be ok, have now switched to anti-gay, Read on Buzzflash, that Barney Frank said they are using this issue to distract from issues unemployment Iraq, etc,. He is right this why Bush's media whore squad is so focused on this gay marriage stuff. Look at the last weeks top story in USA today: Poll that is sighted here, and story about Bush opposing gay marriage-USA shows its Bush apologist hand by saying President calls for tolerance, etc. My advice, lay off, fight for rights that married couples have, leave the word "marriage" alone right now. I think if Mass and New Jersey rule against "gay marriage" it will be good for the long term. Trust me, I hear what your "straight friends" say when you leave the room.
