big·ot ( P ) Pronunciation Key (bgt)
n.
One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.



heh.. :D

Well if that is the definition than bigot I am. If standing up for what is OBVIOUSLY right makes me a bigot than I wear the mantle with pride.

Hey what was the score on the states that had measures baning queer marriage? Oh yeah 12-0 for the good guys. Why don't we just put homosexuality itself to a national referendum? Nah your side doesn't want that.

Why would I believe something written by a bunch of right-wing uber-Christian nutters who hate gay people because they think somewhere the bible said they should? (as if Jesus would have preached hate of anyone.. .lol...)

There you go, when you can't defeat them impune them, that is play 101 in the Demo playbook.

Why not do that with every aspect of society that has no affect on others? You ever here of the term "pursuit of happiness"..

BTW, Nuc is right about the Greeks... ;)
 
Nuc said:
Yeah, I guess the word "Lesbian" is derived from Swahili, right?

Go ahead prove it, prove that the ancients were all queers, as if anybody really knows the truth. But hey if it gets you off to pass on stereotypes.......

By the way dumbass, lesbian is derived from lesviotisa which denotes a chick from the island of Lesvos.

Do you really want to get into a pissing contest with me on Greeks and the Greek language? Lol it won't be pretty.

Why, did a Greek fuck you up the ass?

And yes homosexuality and the practice of has a already demonstrated effect on others........AIDS.

As I told you earlier, I saw tons of gay porn in the National Museum in Athens. If there weren't gays why did they have gay porn?

Duh........that was my point!

Relax dude, I love Greece and the Greeks and I go there frequently. I love Greek food, and I have even performed bouzouki to standing ovations there. But it's fun to tweak you.

Actually most new cases of AIDS are in black heterosexual women.... try again. If you're gonna spew, at least spew about the right stuff....

Oh...and do please show me where Jesus ever said word one that encouraged anyone to hate anyone else? (not what his disciples said...what HE said)

Hey Jillian,

If the people on this board agreed with or cared about this concept 98% of the archives would have to be erased. They are "just war" Christians, and the enemy is everybody except Rush Limbaugh and Haliburton.

Umm define porn. I can create a sculpture of two guys spooning but that doesn't mean my whole generation all guys spooning each other.

You'll forgive me if I have to ask for some sort of proof of your bouzouki virtuosity, I myself host a local radio show here in the D.C. Baltimore area on a very tiny public station(JUCO) and play 3 hours of laika and demotika on Sunday nights, no show tonight because of Easter. I am a "meraklis", a connosieur of all things bouzouki.

Hi Nuc...luckily that isn't the majority of Christians, eh? I figure karma is a boomerang so we at least have to try to spread around the good stuff as much as possible.

I also have this vision of Jesus, Moses and Mohammed looking down at what's going on in the world, shaking their heads and saying "man! they just don't get it!!!"

I didn't say I'm a virtuoso, just that people liked it! I play bouzouki,baglama and tsouras. I don't play traditional Greek music however as I have no way of studying it. Does your radio show have an internet broadcast?

Umm without queers in S.F. in late 70's early 80's there is no AIDS in America, please keep up here at USMB.

You see this why your side cannot win on this or any other issue, because you equate disagreement with hate, it clearly says in the bible, and i'm no biblical scholar but I think its in the book of Romans, that homosexuality and the practice thereof is an abomination in the eyes of God, that without repenting from homosexuality you cannot enter heaven.

Now I have no problem really with two guys who want to fuck each other in the ass IN THE PRIVACY OF THEIR OWN BEDROOM, but they need to know, just like a junkie that what they are doing will not be tolerated out in open society. They know this so that is why the marriage thing, its just a vehicle to legitimization of their perversion of choice.

No, however I am trying to get on with this station out of Toronto that is over the internet only thing is somehow i'd have to be able to broadcast from home. I listen to these guys often and every now and then they advertise for DJ's. What brought this on is I had this bourgeoning collection of cd's(I purchase about 5 a month) and was tired of listening to them, wanted others to hear them. We used to have a station here that had a greek show on saturday and sunday afternoons but the station they were on went all religion. So I checked it out for awhile and landed this spot, costs me about 300 a month but most of that I get paid for by other Greeks around.

Yep, the reverse psychology shit don't work here pal. Do you have a viable argument that will work that you haven't brought out yet?

No reverse psychology here! There's only two ways I can take your posts! Seriously - which I can't, because NOBODY can be that pig ignorant. Or as a bit of a laugh - which must be the case, right? :kiss2:

Yes, they're using their children to gain publicity.

Glad we see eye to eye on this point. Others were trying to state that they WEREN'T using their children for publicity...that is the point I was refuting.

And I'm not sure how I feel about the use of this forum.

You've said this several times. I'm not quite sure how it relates. This is a fairly anonymous political message board. No one is flashing images of their children saying, "If you don't agree with my political views this child will go to Hell!!!!" No one is calling the media to get the views they express here espoused on the 8 o'clock news. You don't have to like all the views here, thats fine...I know I groan and roll my eyes at what is expressed here occasionally, just like everyone else.

But truth is that every group that has had to fight for its rights and against hatred has done the same. It's peaceful and hurts no one.

Are there other groups that have used traditional children's events to espouse their political viewpoints and agendas - using their children in order to grab the media's attention? I must have missed the Come and Meet Santa Who Also Happens to Be a Member of the NRA event at my local mall.

Do I think this is/will be a peaceful event? Sure. Do I think the children are being harmed? No, I don't. But I do think they are being used...and for a group that wants to convince the American people (who - for better or worse - do NOT feel that they are "normal," and "just like them") that they are normal, this is a pretty stupid way to go about it.

Gay and lesbian families have been very threatened by the overt hostility from this white house and its supporters and what better way to remind the powers that be that these are human beings they are dealing with than to show themselves as family units whose kids like Easter Eggs like everyone else's?

Absolutely. If your goal is to demonstrate on the White House lawn to protest what you feel are the wrongs this adminstration has perpetrated against you than this is JUST the way to go about it.

However...

If your goal is to enjoy a traditional Easter experience with your family, just like everyone else...than this is exactly how NOT to go about it.

You have framed my point beautifully, Jillian. If they are protesting - thats fine...they have every right to do so, and I believe they have issues that should be and need to be addressed.

But don't try to feed me a line of bullshit about how you are JUST going for the children and how you JUST want to be like everyone else...

Because we all know that in this case, that is just subterfuge for what is really going on. I don't mind the protest....I mind the bullshit.

What would have been effective is a gay couple bringing their children to the Easter Egg hunt. Enjoying the activity and the day. And when the media asked them questions about it...responding with, "Our children wanted to come, we wanted to enjoy the day and we did. No big deal."
