No, I’m not using it as a pejorative. Simply stating that I believe Thomas Peters is more than likely gay, and I know he won’t answer the question. It’s really straightfoward. It would only be pejorative if you happen to believe there’s something wrong, flawed or insulting in being gay.

Just to be clear, I’ve met little Tommy Peters, and had a brief conversation. My gaydar was off the scale. I’m not making assumptions about what motivates his hate. Maybe he’s just found a well paying job that lets him travel…I don’t presume to know. Having not had sex with him, I can’t swear he’s gay, but I do know my spider-sense (which is pretty well refined) tells me he likely is. Whether that’s a part of what informs his hate, I don’t know that either…I do know he expresses hatred and disdain towards gay people (he’d claim it was just love based on our need to hear his message that we can and should change), and I’m pretty sure there’s a pair of ruby slippers hidden away in his closet. It may just be a case of post hoc ergo propter hoc, but I do not base my perceptions of his true orientation on just the fact that he’s a bigot.

When did little Tommy Peters decide to pretend to be straight? #questionsAmericanPapistwontanswer

The sad truth is, people will pony up. Can’t be worried about hungry children, we’ve gotta keep those gays from becoming equal.

I always wonder if these “matching grant” things are true? If they are, I wonder whether it’s the Catholic Church or the LDS Church?

All this crap about children learning about gay marriage in school…where is that coming from? I don’t remember learning anything about any kind of marriage in school. Yes, in the 7th grade the health and PE teachers did the sex education thing, but I don’t even remember then about “marriage.”

I post this purely for the entertainment value. Many years ago I was attending a school in Atlanta. A young middle-eastern couple just coming to the U.S. moved in across the hall, and one night the young man came over with a bottle of something alcoholic. We had a few drinks, when he confided to me he liked Atlanta because he thought he was “bisexual.” Well, as a gay man living in Atlanta in the ’80s, I could understand that. But after a bit more discussion I was a bit confused by some of his comments. So I asked a few pointed questions, and learned that he thought being bisexual meant also finding African-American women attractive. I admit to getting a good laugh over that.

It’s becoming funny how they have to keep recycling the same people over and over. The same two or three families burdened by having to acknowledge that gay people exist. The same one or two “ex-gays,” testifying over and over again. The same small set of ministers traveling the country on NOM’s nickle to foment hate in the name of God. I want them to keep putting these same people out there on every media outlet during every hour of the day. It won’t take long for people to finally realize, it’s the same single bus load of people.

You know, if I had money to invest, I’d pay for this guy to law school, so if I ever had a need for a lawyer, I could get him.

Not that it matters now since he’s had his last election, but I suspect he’s finally figured out that nothing he could say or do would satisfy the right wing, so THWI.

Holy crap, the Mayans may have been right after all! And with a big winter storm coming in, has anyone checked the temp in hell?

Do they never really listen to their own words? “School children will be taught that homosexuality is normal, moral…” Can’t have that, but I realize they believe that to be true. But she goes on to claim churches will be forced to hire homosexuals…you know, because we’ll get us a quota I guess, but most of all she talks about the passage of ENDA meaning that “christian businesses,” whatever those are, will (again with the lies) be forced to hire homosexuals, and once they do, they’ll have to, “create a non-offensive work environment.” Seriously, you object to that lady. Bless your heart, please drop the whole thing about being a Christian if your fighting for the rights of some business owner to create an “offensive” work environment.

It’s a thought provoking question Pam. I was born and raised in North Carolina, and I have always loved it…it is a part of me. I don’t live there now, but I live in Florida, and that might be worse. I’m lucky in that my job would allow to live most anywhere, so that doesn’t tie me to any particular place. I’d move back to N.C. in a heart beat, but I’ve loved Tampa for the past 14 years, and my lover is from here. I did move here for a location specific job, but now could go anywhere. If I weren’t here, I’d choose the Old North State, and work to make a difference.

Well, given that Stickney claims to be a good Christian…believing in the golden rule and all…we should oblige him, and treat him just as he’s treating others (since that’s obviously the way he wishes to be treated), and find out everything we can about him. Phone numbers; addresses; etc., and let’s post it all on-line.

Ah, he could be correct to some extent, but that’s how the military works. I suspect there are some people who think drug use should be OK, but I’m guessing they kind of suck it up and don’t say anything about that. We’ve seen a few military people who have a desire to force themselves, heterosexually, on subordinates. I suspect they believe this should be OK, but they usually don’t openly “rock the boat” on that either.

Actually, I’m torn on this. I hate the thoughts of supporting his campaign, but he’s already got all the money he needs to buy the election. So what if every gay person in America made the $15 contribution. We’d have a pretty good chance of one of us winning that ticket, and surely you’d get 5 mins with the candidate, and the rest of the time I’m sure you’re relegated to the press section, where you could spend the rest of the trip making a case to the press about Mitt and Ryan’s position on gay equality.

How sad. He has to create his own films just to have an acting job.

We were channel surfing yesterday, and stopped to watch a few minutes of a Ladies Fast Pitch softball game. I suggest we invite Barber to try to hit a couple of those pitches.

What say you Matt? You think you’re “man” enough?

The amendment prohibits certain people from even entering into otherwise legal contractual agreements. I’m not an attorney, but know enough business law to know that can’t really stand much of a court challenge.

If they ever even address this, Amendment 1 supporters will say that this was just an isolated incident caused by one deranged person, while the rabid gays and their supports have been stealing pro-amendment 1 signs right and left in a coordinated effort.

Just wait and see.

You know, it is interesting that on Tami’s linkedin profile there’s a huge gap from when she finished law school in 1982 and the first job she lists which isn’t until 2005. Wonder what she was doing between ’82 and ’05?

Also, if you find her address and check out the satellite photo of her house, it appears that being a professional bigot pays very well. It’s an awfully big house in a neighborhood of pretty big houses.
