I think the whole issue is doing much better these days than say 10 years ago. People are slowly becoming more accepting but there are still those who are hard against it.

Lmao, “I’mma let you finish.” Was that a Kanye moment? And yes, I can still see the sugar in his tank. Super sweet. Not even splenda.

HEY KIND OF STILL GAY BUT PRETENDING NOT TO BE DUDE, I’m really happy that your not disgracing the gays by calling yourself one anymore, and Imma let you finish, but Rachel Maddow had one of the best arguments of all time. OF ALL TIME

True story: Richard Cohen is an ex-moony, as in he used to be in the Unification Church, which is coincidentally the religion I was raised in. So, of course, my mom knows him, and she told me that he was kicked out of the church because his views on gay people were too LIBERAL. As in, he was too nice to gay people so the church kindly asked him to leave. Also, my mom let me know that his views are very reasonable. FML?

so this guy was talking about how having bad relationships with other boys made him gay, but couldn’t it be the opposite a well? i know sometimes i didn’t get along with girls in junior high, but looking back, it seems like that was because i was gay and didn’t know how to handle it. anybody else?

this is so true! wouldn’t it make more sense to figure out why gay people hate themselves instead of trying to figure out how to make them straight?

Rachel Maddow makes me proud to be gay. She also makes me want to work harder to be smart. Bottom line, I want to be her when I grow up. REPRESENT.

I feel so bad for his wife and children and I hope that none of his children are gay because their father will never let them be who they are!

And then the dummy answered, “It doesn’t.” If I were Rachel, I would have asked, “Then you admit that you made something up and put it in your book?”

That dude’s still completely gay. It’s tempting to feel sorry for him, because he’s totally oblivious to the fact that his torment is being used by the Christian right to fuel their oppressive cause.

It’s tempting, that is, until you read the crap in his book.
