Another Black Eye.

So yesterday some of you may have noticed an interesting exchange between me and a liberal on my Facebook page.  He apparently doesn't have the same views as I do and felt the need to say some pretty disparaging things about me, my mother, my life, and was so kind as to actually threaten to kill me twice.  All in all it was just pretty interesting and I've waited until today to respond to some of his issues. 

I really don't care what you have to say about my mother.  I am sure that we have said worse about each other to each other,  but its just tacky to say something about someones mother. 

You can say whatever you like about me.  I've been picked on my whole life,  I'm a big guy I'm used to it and I can take it. 

Threatening to kill me is hysterically funny.  I'm probably the only Fag you know who has been arrested twice for assault.  Bring it on you diseased heap of pus.  I'm pretty easy to find and I have a great deal of pent up aggression.  A little extra exercise is a good thing. 

The worst part about the whole thing is that you have succeeded in validating the main reason straight people are afraid of the gay agenda.  You see, straight people don't care who your having sex with, when or how or any thing about it.  They don't care if you want to get married they don't care if you want to march naked in a parade.  They do however care when you insist in pushing your values, morality, and opinions on them.  Your Hitler like insistence that everyone must follow your beliefs is why the straight and christian communities are afraid of you and why the gay community is experiencing a push back from them. 

I don't know why you chose to have such an impassioned reaction to my post,  alcohol abuse, being on your meds so long that it has started to affect your brain function, or some serious emotional issue that you are experiencing right now.  I just hope that you find the help you need to come to terms with your issues. 

Two Queens and a Wedding Cake

    I wasnt going to comment on this issue again but a few people have asked me so I think I will.

As you know this week the Supreme Court overturned a Colorado Circuit court ruling that a Colorado Business had to make a cake for a gay couple.  Basically the Supreme Court said the Colorado Court was not unbiased in its opinion.  Everybody is saying this is a victory for the church and religion and a loss for gays and equal rights.

Everybody is a loser on this issue.

        I have watched three different interviews with the gay couple.  They didnt live in Colorado full time.  The wedding was not in Colorado, it was to be for a reception there for their friends.  They claim to be devastated, embarrassed and humiliated by the refusal.  Honestly, those are completely unqualified feelings as far as I'm concerned.  The baker just said no.  He did not make fun of them, he did not put a sign on the door that he refused to make them a cake.  He didnt call all his friends and tell them about the gay couple.  He said no and gave a reason valid to him.  This was not a slap against gay rights the man does not actively campaign against them.  He simply said because of his religious beliefs he did not want to make a cake.  They should have acted with dignity and gone on to the next place.

     I have also watched a few interviews with the baker.  While I think religion is the single most bigoted and racist institution allowed to legally operate.  I believe this man was well within his rights to refuse to bake a cake if he lives what he believes.

     When we ordered our cake, We happened to order a cake from someone who had never made a cake for a gay wedding or even had any gay friends.  She actually made some unintended off color remarks about fudge filling and such while we were ordering the cake.  We played along, ordered the cake and everything else went off without a hitch.  Since the wedding she has seen us a couple times in the store and will stop working and walk around with us chatting.  She asks us questions about being a gay married couple and seems genuinely interested in our lifestyle.

    Had we acted offended and made an issue about her off color humor, we would have missed the opportunity to allow her to see that gay a couple can be just like any other couple and the chance to make a new friend.  It was an unintended opportunity to enlighten someone who otherwise had no idea what gay people were like and to fight the stereotypes portrayed in the media. 

    There were so many things wrong with this case.  The gay couple should have not been so sensitive and used their brains and realized this was not a discrimination of the gay lifestyle, but rather one individuals deep belief in his faith.  I dont understand why they would want to pay someone for a service when he doesnt approve of their lifestyle anyway.  They made the wrong choice to involve a lawsuit. 

     The state of Colorado and the courts failed to recognize that in the one of the reasons people immigrated here to begin with was freedom of religion.  They failed to protect that. 

     The baker.  Who may be a devout christian failed to make a decision without influence by the church.  Any sane individual should be able to recognize when undue influence in being placed on your decision making by an institution. 

     Unfortunately what people are going to remember about this is not that gay rights took a hit from the supreme court, but two gay men had a temper tantrum about not getting a pretty wedding cake. 
Just makes the rest of us gay humans look bad.
