Homophobes are Stupid

How else can you explain this?

Well, yeah -

Even better is the Bush policy of refusing to fund HIV grants that have the word "gay" in the title. There seem to be no limits to the idiocy of ideologues.

More evil than stupid
by tiponeill

they are experts at using words - especially to lie - so they are like the southerner who insisted on using "nigrah" instead of "politically correct" terms.

AP has a style guide that says you should use gay, lesbian, GLBT etc and only use "homosexual" when talking about sex.

So all of their sites - the Baptist Press, wingnutdaily etc always "translate" AP articles. They replace "gay" with "homosexual" and put quote signs around the word "marriage" if they are talking about gays.

You will notice that Nano, etc, always does the same thing when he isn't calling people fags.

They can be both.

Evil and stupid, I mean.

Calling buttfuckers "gay" is like calling suicide bombers "light hearted".

I see no sense in letting a small segment, and a perverted segment at that, hijack the language.

I do not usually read what you write Predickto 'cos I find it upsetting. How can you be so horrible about your fellow human beings, who have never done you any harm and just want to get on with their lives. What is the matter with you?

But I do wish it had been another word other than gay that had been usurped! it was such a delightful word. It was a not very funny comedian who did that!!!!

Clbuttic!

[what happens when you set your auto-replace setting to substitute "butt" for "ass"]

Too funny. The idea that they would set their auto-replace "gay" with "homosexual" seems so juvenile, and for them to get busted like that is priceless.

Loved some of the commentary to that. "George Pubic Hair" and "Penis Cheney" were pretty good, and "Penis van Lesbian" was better yet!

Proves my point

predicto isn't that stupid - what he is is evil.

Same goes for Dobson et al - its a mistake to underestimate these people and think they are "stupid", just as Hitler wasn't stupid

...and then there was the well-known little Dutch boy, who saved the village by sticking his finger in a lesbian....

I saw this yesterday evening and almost hurt myself laughing my ass off. (I could stand to loose the weight though.)

I noticed that silent.o gave this post a thumbs down. Wonder why?

I suppose arch doesn't deserve that, so I can remove it...what bothers me about the thread is not the jokes (thought it was funny too), but tip's reaction. I have yet to decide if it's unfair of me to even say that much about it, so perhaps I should leave it at that.

And with perfect timing predicto comes in and proves the top posts claim .Isn't it just to pricless?

I can imagine...
by Archaeopteryx

...that a person who is subject to bigotry would find it evil.

If we excuse the bigotry as being the result of a religious belief, we're legitimizing the bigotry. What if I were to say, "My religious beliefs mean that you can't marry a black person?" That's exactly what used to happen in this country.
