Which he did. You just chose to ignore it. That's some catch you got there boy. <br /><br /><br />He wrote, specifically, anti-gay bigotry is an attitude that oppresses and that attitude should be ruthlessly stamped out.

Example: Birthers. Some guy on the internet claimed Obama was born in Kenya. Never mind that for this to be true, you've got to hand wave away birth certificates and contemporary birth announcements in Hawaii newspapers; you've got to go beyond that into "sure, it's totally plausible that an 18-year-old about to give birth would come up with and pay an amount roughly equivalent to the average full-time worker's annual salary in Hawaii to buy a plane ticket to travel to a less-developed country 11,000 miles away so she could give birth surrounded by people she'd never met before, and that she would then smuggle her newborn child back into Hawaii and use her considerable clout as an 18-year-old college student to convince/bribe the local newspapers to publish phony birth announcements and the hospital/county/state to falsify a birth certificate. <i>People do shit like this all the time.</i>" <br /><br /><br />As is said around here frequently, "do they even <i>know</i> any real people?"JennOfArknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-544404890197804452014-07-24T18:53:35.188-04:002014-07-24T18:53:35.188-04:00All the way to the "Second Amendment remedies...All the way to the "Second Amendment remedies" LGBT people are so well known for? <br /><br /><br />Your concern is duly noted.MBouffanthttp://mbouffant.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-13012506654250272782014-07-24T18:47:20.973-04:002014-07-24T18:47:20.973-04:00I see what ...I see what ...MBouffanthttp://mbouffant.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-15017585581426961532014-07-24T18:46:47.926-04:002014-07-24T18:46:47.926-04:00He's willing to unfriend homophobes on Faceboo...He's willing to unfriend homophobes on Facebook?Big_Bad_Bald_Bastardhttp://bigbadbaldbastard.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-42619311260372279402014-07-24T18:42:59.383-04:002014-07-24T18:42:59.383-04:00You know who else likes to blow up & burn down...You know who else likes to blow up & burn down churches.MBouffanthttp://mbouffant.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-66341976097906536782014-07-24T18:28:17.881-04:002014-07-24T18:28:17.881-04:00Thinly-disguised hate, tribalism & demonizing ...Thinly-disguised hate, tribalism & demonizing the other are the central tenets of their religion.
