Okay. How about Adulterer, Fornicator, Exhibitionist and Polygamist Pride Month? While we're feeling pride in our sinful behavior, how about Liar, Cheater, Coveter and Idolator Pride Month. Um, how about the Bill Clinton Get a Quickie Under the Desk While Working Pride Month? Or the Clinton-Gingrich Bipartisan Cheat On Your Wife With Pride Month.

I don't know, there are just so many possibilities here. We wouldn't want to exclude any sinners here.

This makes me sick. It's an outrage. It's offensive. And with the hate laws in place you can't even speak out against these perverted freaks.

It fits right in with the Communists plans to bring down America. See #20 in the below link.

It's not normal! It's not healthy! It is perversion! Lucifer must be laughing is head off right now.

Just out of curiosity do you know her citizenship status?

[RAT Patrol]

How about the Lovin' All My Venereal Diseases Pride Month. Or the Swipe Money From the Taxpayers To Study My STDs Pride Month.

Silver lining: Since this RAT in beautiful packaging was born in Canada, she won't be able to one day have perversity celebration on at the White House.

I hereby proclaim June to be International Leave Us the Hell Alone Month.

They could replace Ground Hog day and rename it Brown Hog day.

"Whereas, Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) people of Michigan have made important and lasting contributions to the State of Michigan in every field of endeavor; however, GLBT individuals often face discrimination and even violence, resulting in many who have hid or denied their sexual orientation or gender identity in order to keep their jobs or to live safely in their communities; and, "

True.

"Whereas, In recent years, progress has led to the righting of many of these wrongs; since the Stonewall uprising in New York City more than 30 years ago, the GLBT rights movement has united the GLBT community, their families and friends, and all those committed to justice and equality in a crusade to ban discrimination and to protect GLBT individuals from prejudice and persecution; and,"

True.

"Whereas, Today, more openly gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals serve in senior posts throughout state government than during any other administration; and"

True.

"Whereas, Many challenges still exist, and as we have learned from recent tragedies, prejudice against GLBT individuals can still erupt into acts of hatred and violence, which is why recognition and support of the work being done by our GLBT community based organizations is critical as we work toward acceptance, safety and equality every day; and,"

True.

"Whereas, With each passing year, Michigan continues to strive towards greater diversity and openness in support of each persons identity; our State is realizing that GLBT individuals must no longer be "strangers among friends,'' as the civil rights pioneer David Mixner once noted, rather, we recognize these Michigan citizens for what they are: our colleagues and neighbors, daughters and sons, sisters and brothers, friends and partners; and,"

Agree.

"Whereas, This June, recognizing the joys and sorrows that the GLBT movement has witnessed and the work that remains to be done, we observe Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month and celebrate the progress we have made and will continue to make in creating a society more inclusive and accepting of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people; together we will continue to break down the walls of fear and prejudice and work to build a bridge to understanding and tolerance; and now therefore be it, "

Nice principle, so long as it doesn't interfere with a private organization's freedom of association. (BSA).

On the whole, nothing too offensive here.

"Transgendered people are the only people you can tell to go F%$# themselves and they can."

I thought these people were hermaphrodites.

Aren't transgenders the ones trapped in the body of the wrong sex?

I'll ping Remedy, if anyone will know about a sexual "aberration," he will.

"Why don't we just give the serial killers and child molesters their own Holiday as well. IDIOTS!"

Perhaps because individual people that engage in consensual adult sex have nothing in common with criminals who violate other people's rights by killing or molesting.

Are you the pot or the kettle?

I am sure she is an American citizen since she is married to an American, but she was born in Canada, so I make an issue of it.

[Pest]

I don't care what people do in the privacy of their own home, but why do they feel compelled to push this crap into our face?

Why do some people define themselves by their sexual preference?

Why can't these people be honored individually for their own merits?

Communists.

I have a question for you Trace. Do bisexuals believe in monogamy? If so, aren't they saying that they can abstain from an orientation?

Regarding this thread, I hardly see how this is keeping the issue in the privacy of one's own bedroom.

[Trace21230]

"I have a question for you Trace. Do bisexuals believe in monogamy? If so, aren't they saying that they can abstain from an orientation?"

I'm sure some bisexuals believe in monogamy, and others don't.

Unlike you, I don't ascribe beliefs and ideologies to entire categories of demographic groups.

How about the 45 year old sugar daddy smoozing the 16 year old boy into sex?? Are you with NAMBLA??

[Trace21230]

"How about the 45 year old sugar daddy smoozing the 16 year old boy into sex?? Are you with NAMBLA??"

What about the ten 45-year old sugar daddies that smooze 16-year old girls into sex?

I don't hear you commenting on that, or ascribing this activity (pedophilia) to all heterosexuals.

Are you endorsing pedophilia by your silence?

she's a Harvard Law School grad

I knew here there. She's actually a really nice person. Just way left. She's the innocent utopian, true-ideologue type of leftist, not the power-hungry Hilary type of lefists. Very surprised she found her way into politics. Good person, bad politics.

[goldstategop]

Michigan has been Frenchified. I keep thinking of that comedy with Michel Piccoli. Cage Au Folles. It was funny as hell. I think Governor Granholm is taking this whole Gay, Bisexual, and Tranny pride thing way too seriously don't you? I do. ;-)
