Ministers are unhappy with signs

[William769]

A few ministers and local leaders are highly displeased with an ad campaign to fight homophobia in the black community. The billboards appear in the Schenectady-Albany, New York area and their simple message has caused an uproar. Daycare provider Pamela Spicer argues the posters overflow with “inappropriate sexual expression.”

Spicer’s day care clients range from ages 2 to 8; she’s convinced her charges will read the message, and force her to have conversations she would prefer not to.

“When I’m driving them to the Schenectady Public Library and they say, ‘What does gay mean?’ how do I answer that question,” Spicer asked her City Council.

Four people, with no kissing or a hand straying near any pleasure spot, is now sexual expression? Spicer needs to find another profession because she can’t connect words with their meaning.

1. I swear, straight homophobes think more about gay sex than gay people do.

4. I am inclined to agree with you.

20. Yep. More generally, anti-sex zealots never stop thinking about sex.

They are obsessed with sex. The sexually-obsessed want to control everybody else's sex life.

The anti-gay zealots are the most extreme because they want to prevent anyone from even knowing that gay sex exists outside of fire-and-brimstone sermons.

6. Tell the 8 year old that you're happy they can read a billboard and ask what others they can read

I swear, she has no strength of character and no imagination.

8. They are so afraid

[walldude]

9. Well we just better get all those gays back in the closet

10. I am in favor of anything that pisses off sanctimonious religious bigots.

12. +1000

[Bluenorthwest]

13. More Churchy bigots in action

Giant leaping hypocrites.

14. "...because she can’t connect words with their meaning."

Bwahahahahahahaha!

"Compassionate Conservatism", "Family Values", "Fiscally Responsible", "Liberal Media", "Christian"... the list goes on and on.

Words mean exactly what they want them to mean the second they're spoken. Unless, of course, some mean Democrat criticizes their hate-speech.

16. I get kind of sick about all the, "What about the children," crap

That unfortunately both sides tend to pull out to use against the other side over some issue they're divided on. Oh, no! Widdle kids may see the word gay! If you don't feel the kid needs to know what it means at a particular age, you do what my parents did when I saw Chris Makepeace flip off Matt Dillon in the movie, "My Bodyguard," and asked what it meant. You tell them, "You're too young to know."

17. "You're too young to know."

I didn't/don't subscribe to that philosophy. I was of the opinion that if my daughters were old enough to ask the question, they were old enough to deserve an answer. How detailed the answer was depended on their age, but they got some form of honest answer.

24. "if my daughters were old enough to ask the question, they were old enough to deserve an answer"

Like I wrote it myself.

21. Ministers are unhappy with FREE SPEECH

There, I fixed it.

God. Damn. It.

Here's a refreshing thought: How about expanding liberties rather than proscribe them?

[Hello_Kitty]

22. People who hide behind children to express their bigotry make me ill

If kids ask what gay means tell them. If you don't make a big deal about it neither will they.

[Vickers]

23. If children see that they will grow up to be GAY!!!!1!!!!!

:eyes:

It must really suck to have so much hate and fear in your life.

[surrealAmerican]

25. She just has to answer the child's question honestly ...

... which for her would be to say, "I don't know".
