And Sodomites aren't exactly a "gay" lot either.

Well said and so true. A small group of us here on FR have informally agreed to restore the term "gay" to its rightful meaning before the homosexual facists hijacked it. For those too young to remember, I have occasionally raised a few eyebrows when I talk of my 40+ year gay marriage. Before she passed, my wife and sweetheart, whom I met a Christian college, and I had decades of true happiness and Joy in Christ. That's what a "gay marriage" is genuinely all about. I want America back and I want my word back!

They could get a pass on Canada because it’s in America.

The Dublin thing was strange though.

Agreed. "Gay" is/was a fine word.
I hate to see it being misused as a description of Sodomites.
I also hate seeing rainbows being used as a flag for perverts. God gave us the rainbow as a symbol of His mercy after He sent the cleansing Flood to wipe out an earlier generation of depraved sinners. Unless they repent and turn from a lifestyle that exults sin, there won't be a rainbow of mercy awaiting this later generation.

Amazing Honolulu did not make the list, what with the way the liberal media likes to beat the pro-homosexual drum.

I am PROUD to see my Baltimore is not on this very wide-cast list. Haha, both PA cities are, as is very close DC.

[fatima]

Bristol Pa.

I must concur that Houston is no longer part of Texas. I left Houston in 1999, returned in 2011. The city was already going downhill when I left. During the time I was away, 10 of those years were in Minnesota. Now I see Houston as being part of Minnesota, not Texas. Time to move to Deer Park.

So it’s pretty much every major city, eh? The faggots pretty much live in the central cities just like libtards. Not surprised.

The homos pretty much form their own ghettos.

[fwdude]

Wasn’t Manhattan, KS recently sodomized with anti-Christian (”anti-discrimination”) ordinances?

[ExCTCitizen]

Ireland is one of the 57 states...

[ExCTCitizen]

I thought the lesbian city of Northampton, Massachusetts, would be on it.

[Sivad]

Sounds a lot like what California FReepers and millions of other
California conservatives have to put up with, getting lumped
together with the libtard majority. It gets old.

[GeronL]

If they kept their mouth shut any city would be friendly

[bicyclerepair]

Fabulous in Ft. Lauderdale.

[Mikey_1962]

I don’t encounter a lot of homos in Dallas, but I guess it doesn’t surprise me. Dallas proper is a minority/leftist run sewer.

I notice Fort Worth is behind Detroit.

I have lived in both and Detroit has a long history of "fag bashing".

I haven't seen that here in FW.

I hate living in St. Petersburg ....

[wardaddy]

Does that include the Park cities?

Was my town as a boy.

New England is the Eastern Capital for gays.
