I'm sure it 'irked' a few white folks in Montgomery when Rosa Parks showed that their 'opinions' on her civil rights were not going to be tolerated.

If I say I am proud of being straight does that mean I am a bigot?

Herman Cain Insists Being Gay Is a 'Choice' and Homosexuality Is 'Sin'



This one irks me. The whole idea of linking the struggles of black people w/ the struggles of gay people is bogus.
Uh-oh. The Tea Parties (as groups) evaluate candidates by fiscal conservatism. Herman Cain is getting sucked into discussing social issues publicly. You can be socially conservative but it's better in my opinion to lead by example (be a good Christian) rather than trying to preach to the choir.

Makes you wonder if he is, in fact, gay himself. An investigation is warranted.

He doesn't continually obsess over it like a repressed gay homophobe does, so no. This gay says his bigotry is rooted in good ole ignorance, generally caused by religious fundamentalism.

Why do you feel the need to have an opinion? Is there a gun pointed at your head with a distant voice commanding you to form an opinion on the subject? Are you compelled some other way?

That's about the only thing I agree with him on. I don't agree with his Abortion stance since he said a victim of rape should just have the rapists baby.

Then you haven't met me! Hi, I'm a nice guy and love str8 folks.

Show "Straight Pride"!! Just don't lash out when gay folks show pride. And yes, pride means defending ourselves from hate!

I'll do it until the day I die.
