We're the last...Yes, I think BMO has it right. We're the last minority standing that it's acceptable--even admirable in some people's view--to hate. That's why it's so desperately important in the US that gays are recognized as being an integral part of the military and have full rights in general. <br /><br />Of course, even then some minds--if minds they are--will never accept us. They have this book of fairy tales and 3000 year old customs and superstitions that they cling to. It tells them what's what and they won't give it up under any circumstances.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279473113628377106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-56626157211281498692009-06-23T21:10:11.022-04:002009-06-23T21:10:11.022-04:00It's about scapegoating.

He was was spewing homophobic epithets at one of my gay boarders, and I took him aside and said "You don't have to like S, but you mustn't dislike him for being gay. You can dislike him because you think he's an annoying selfish bastard, which he might be. But being gay is not a reason to dislike him." (that's a paraphrase, the general idea of my conversation)<br /><br />Did it make a difference? I don't know, but it made me feel better. It was the right thing to do, you know?Javahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377033663576614925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-88234093748870967522009-06-23T16:20:14.016-04:002009-06-23T16:20:14.016-04:00Dude.. there are two ways out of this.. t easy one...Dude.. there are two ways out of this.. t easy one and the hard one!!<br /><br />You can either just choose to ignore and smile inside you at the naivety ...<br /><br />or you could stand up.. kick him in the balls.. and tell them that gays are no less a man that him.. or for that matter, his grandad!The Vice Buddhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17841576747534052472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-50643837746874451262009-06-23T15:47:30.100-04:002009-06-23T15:47:30.100-04:00There are a lot of narrow minded people out there ...There are a lot of narrow minded people out there Steven.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308447697581920397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-7665717668338698842009-06-23T13:06:49.239-04:002009-06-23T13:06:49.239-04:00You are right, there are good seeds and there are ...You are right, there are good seeds and there are bad seeds. <br /><br />Those comments are said at moments when my cousin Dennis has to put his hand on my shoulder and tell me to sit.
