Damn.. the Gay Haters have really come out of the woodwork!
I suppose it has something to do with the recent Supreme Court ruling, the new law changes in Canada, and Bravo/NBC's "Queer Eye" - but people are jumping on this topic like never before... The scary thing is: their opinons are horribly anti-gay. What the hell is going on? Why the change all of a sudden?

3. First, they embolden each other.
Second, they feel that by simply having a show like Queer Eye, gays are somehow "promoting" their "lifestyle". Hey, I don't understand either, that's just how they think.

The point is totally lost on them how heterosexual relationships are shoved in gay faces nearly every minute they are in public - advertisements, movies, hetero couples/families, etc. When gays are seen and heard, they're "pushing homosexuality on us".

5. They're losing
And the only thing they think they can do is lash out.

That, and they probably never get laid.:D

10. These people are scary to a lot of people.
I am not sure why.They have been around since I was a kid at camp and they never bother you but always been treated bad.A lot of bad things are going on and I frankly think it comes from the top. All these things can be done under Bush so they will. Ashcroft is not going to protect any one. It is the same with business and the crooks. Look at the crazy stuff out of the DOD. It is done because the top lets it.

11. And when you stand up for your rights, the "Christian" bigots
who would outlaw your life again, if they could, will scream that you are persecuting them, it is absurd.

12. I find myself lingering over men's underwear ads now, and
it's all DU's fault. I'm transforming!

People are just weird and, yeah, emboldened or reinforced by others who take up the banner. PHHHHTTTTTFFFFF to them.

13. Some people need to have a group they feel superior to
It's become culturally unacceptable to feel superior to so many groups a certain group has always felt superior to in the past, now they're taking gays away? What's left for them?
