Rob,

I just don’t understand why the government needs to recognize things like “gay pride.”

It seems to me that it is pretty obvious Rob. The secretary of labor was making a statement.

Apparently, in her view, it is helpful to those who have suffered under thousands of years of embarrassment or societal shame for being gay. I think it is very obvious that our current administration thinks it is much better for our society to embrace many of these people who are productive citizens and for the future generations who are affected by our societal views.

Many of our friends on this site love to bash gays and talk about their perverted behavior. Has it ever occurred to any of you, that their perverse behavior has to do with the fact that they are made to feel that they are not equal and that constantly being told you are perverted is the problem?

Many refuse to accept that and become functional members of society. Others, not so much. Maybe it has to do with how we impose our views onto them, forever perpetuating the stereotype and mental issues many of these people suffer from?

It’s as plausible as any other idea.

I think what she did was brave, and yes, offensive to some. But those people who are offended have had their way for thousands of years and I think our civilization is due for a advancement.

I wonder if the KKK hung posters — Afterall the KKK used to be the Democrats terror wing before it fell out of favor. Probably lynched too many white political opponets.

These changeling Democrats are something else.

Let her chastise every other poster “vandalized” by anyone from now on.

I disagree Hanni. I don’t think it’s fair to address every minority as victims, especially in modern America. I’d wager that on a level of dislike, the majority of those opposed to gay marriage dislike the idea like they dislike the minority who smoke around their kids, or the Lebanese minority guy with the funny accent at the gas station.

The levels of vitriol or support held here really aren’t an adequate cross section, in my opinion.

Ah don’t start withthe thousand years of suffering Hannitized, or Dmeocrats will suddenly be wanting Reparations to give.

Have to disagree with you there Hannitized.

YOU and only you have control over your behaviour. No one can MAKE you be or do something you do not wish to do or be.

I don’t agree it’s societies fault that some gay / lesbians act the way they do. If that was so it would be directly responsible for ALL of them acting the same way – and yet, not all do. Some gay / lesbian people are very nice, and outgoing people. They look just like you or me, they act just like you or me (a hetrosexual person) and you would never know what thier sexual preferences are because they don’t go about flaunting it and pushing it into everyones faces.

It is not societies fault that some act out this way. Personal responsibility – I believe they act like that in a degree similiar to perez hilton, because they can use thier sexuality preference as as shield to act out.

Sorry, again, don’t agree. I don’t think it was brave, just irresponsible – it is not the job of Government to take sides in sexuality / religon / race / ect.

How about we recognize heterosexual marriages of 40 + years?

Where’s my pride day?

I am a proud Hasidic-Jedi-Druid-Male-Lesbian…..

I want posters,
and confetti,
and cakes,
and a parade,
and and a pony…….

THEN people will luv me…..

I feel so left out…….

Just about every person in this country is the descendant of one demographic or another that has been enslaved or ethnically cleansed or ill-treated at some point in history.

Are we all victims? Or should we quit diving ourselves up into victim groups and just stop caring about stuff like that?

I have always thought your argument that because other things happen in other countries, it is then equal and an exact parallel to what happens in ours, was a bad one.

In fact, slavery and ethnic cleansing isn’t even relevant to this topic.

Again, I don’t want a government that picks and chooses which victims are special and worth attention and which aren’t. I want a government that treats everyone the same.

What’s so wrong with that?

I didn’t say anything was wrong with it. But at the same time, I don’t see anything wrong with the government giving credibility and possibly a sense of pride when our country has a culture that is robbing them of pride.

What is wrong with that?

Shouldn’t we want the government to be blind to things like gender, race, religion and sexual orientation?

Uh..Yeah..But not anymore, not in Barry’s world. I could be wrong but the vandals are probably more upset about the in your face forced diversity training than acknowledging that some of the co workers are LBGT

I’d like a Heterosexual White Male Amnesty Holiday myself.

I’m tired of being the scapegoat for all the fringe groups.

Greetings:

I wonder if she had any “glory holes” installed in the men’s rooms, in the spirit of celebration. Or a condom dispenser. Or an AIDs relief collection box.
