Jim, your comments policy is misapplied. Besides, you yourself DO trade in rumors and innuendo.

How about loosening up the reigns a notch or two? You’re going to make it as oppressive as a christian message board in here.

“We need to recognize and talk about it, dig into the real why, the real emotion driving people like Hutcherson – ’cause theology ain’t it. Pussy-footing around the suppressed emotions (whatever they are) that actually drive their tirades just wastes everyone’s time.”

David, if you feel so strongly, please feel free to meet with Mr. Hutcherson to discuss with him directly. That’s about the only way you’re going to “dig into the real why”. I doubt you know his mind well enough to do anything in his absence except speculate, which at this point is bordering on mindless gossip and reinforcing the stereotype that there must be something wrong with being gay.

You can be disappointed all you want, but our comments policy stands. All I said is that we don’t trade in rumors and innuendo. How is that “resorting to the standard RR trick of distortion and misrepresentation” when, in fact, I’m arguing against it?

Interesting double standard Jim, why don’t you take it up with Tim?:
“Which makes me wonder: is Hutcherson completely obsessed with homosexuality, or is it the only subject that makes him a topic of discussion on blog sites and feeds his ego?”

In the meantime, there is a real pattern in human behavior – people tend to become obsessive about certain kinds of things – especially things they deny themselves, things they feel guilty about, and things they can never attain.

We need to recognize and talk about it, dig into the real why, the real emotion driving people like Hutcherson – ’cause theology ain’t it. Pussy-footing around the suppressed emotions (whatever they are) that actually drive their tirades just wastes everyone’s time.

I’m disappointed that you resorted to the standard RR trick of distortion and misrepresentation.

I live close to the church, and if I didn’t have a memorial service to go to tomorrow I might go to his service.
Oh, thats right I don’t believe that a few open-for-interpretation verses in the bible, which were speaking to specific people in a specific time, should dictate how I treat a large group of people! How silly of me to forget!

David,

Unfounded speculations and rumors about an indivudual’s sexuality has no place here. If you have evidence, please share it. Otherwise, let’s leave this line of comment to the National Enquirer. Unlike the tabloids, our Comments Policy requires substantiation. This is what sets this web site apart from the others.

When people are hungry, what do they think about most of all?

When people are sleepy, tired, exhausted, what do they think about most of all?

People think most about, talk the most about, worry and obsess and project the most about

their own unmet needs.

Why is it that the RRRW thinks about gay sex more than gay people?

It is very simple.

Hutcherson is trying, desperately, to convince himself. Whether that is because he experiences same-sex attractions he does not want, or is fending off a consuming sense of guilt and shame over his overt bias, is almost irrelevant.

The laddie doth protest too much. No one who is psychosexually healthy spends that much energy focused on other people’s sex lives.
