Obama declares June 2009 LGBT pride month

Xian, here's my moderate statement.

America will.

And stuff like this calls the moderate to be more accepting.

And yes, you're stance on not calling the average voter an asshat will win any hearts and minds, but a "patronizing" comment like this from Obama will. Even if he really believes we are all vial creatures that will rot in hell.

But, it doesn't matter what his "real" intent is. This is a positive thing.


And if Billy Bob hates homos and never wants a homo to get any more rights than a homo has, he's a lost cause anyways...

It's about moderates. And I'd imagine this will appeal to most moderates.

Maybe I'm wrong about that, but I doubt it.



It's about baby steps.

You're asserting a right where none exists. You're touching on an equal protection argument where it fails. Words matter. They matter a lot.

and... you don't change the definition of the fundamental building block of society to effect a change in the tax code PJ. That's a foolish argument.

Now, where in the hell did you read that? Seriously. Please, show me where I told you to sit down, shut up and like it. The essence of what I said is that you're going to be more successful with honey than with vinegar. Calling the voters you need to get the law changed bigots is unlikely to sway them to your side. You trying to get me off your damn bus PJ?

Your misuse of 'vial' and Billy Bob reminded me of Angelina Jolie and now I am turned on in a LGBT thread... again.

I think all rights and protections should have qualifiers. Blacks can buy houses, but latins can't.
Chinamen should be able to drive, but not chinawomenz.

You know, for not being haters, Jonny and Xian sure are being "caustic" in this thread. Sorry I struck a nerve fellas, but fuck if you're not proving me right. lol

Perhaps antagonistic might have been a better choice of words.

OK. I disagree on the Obama thing but that's pretty minor disagreement. On your broader notion we agree - the wide middle needs to be appealed to and convinced of the propriety of the change.

Hey, I made a joke about you and Jonny, two people I thought might be mature enough to realize I was just having a little fun. Instead, I get a "fuck you" and called names. Don't chastise me, sir. I do not appear to be the one with the bunched panties.

And really, that's up to the liberal media and Jews in Hollywood to do.

well, I was just joking w/ that comment.

Of course asians shouldn't be allowed to drive. and we certainly need to get the damned catholic mexicans into houses and not living 30 to an apartment.













And something I just thought about, won't this mean that schools will teach about teh ghey buttseckz now?

Just like Blackieness is taught about in Feb?
