brains were paper, they wouldn’t have

NEVER have printed any article that
had a gay content.

as for sally kern; she is a minister’s
wife and i guess she felt that since
it wasn’t her husband delivering the
prayer, it had nothing to do with her.

she, along with the others are nothing
more than worthless hippocrites that
the local gay community have no love for
now, nor will we probably in the future.

one last thing, regardless of how these
people treat us, there is a very strong
gay community here in oklahoma city and
we’ll probably be here for quite sometime to come.

Perhaps we should be kind and not inflict such disaster on these poor people. All snark aside, in the past couple of months the hardcore American Right has given up all pretense of changing or moderating. It has done a collective retreat to the fortress of Orthodox Right Wing Beliefs, lifted the drawbridge, and now greets any messenger of sense, compromise, or armistice with all the rocks, spears, arrows, and flaming pitch that can be mustered.

You should have read Oklahoma message boards after Kern's remarks that we are worse than terrorists, they overwhelmingly supported her, because they will support anything that is anti-gay - regardless of how reasonable or sane it is.
