An outstanding work from S.F.'s closest thing to a right-winger.

Rosa Parks was also sitting in the "Blacks Only" section already. She was obeying the law. The bus driver wanted her to move back so that a white person could sit in the blacks section without having a black person next to him. What she exposed for the world to see was not only unjust laws, but unjust laws being administered unjustly. San Francisco is engaged in unjust administration.

Delusions of Grandeur is merely the tip of the mental illness iceberg of the modern day homosexual.

Excellent article, thanks for posting. A bit surprising from a S.F. paper...I'm sure she's getting plenty of flak for it.

I knew that the pro-gay movement would try to allude their 'cause' with the civil rights movement. They feel that sufficient similarities exist to tie the two together.
The truth is that the two could not be more disimilar!
The Civil Rights movement, whatever some may say about it and those who participated in it (i was actually flamed on FR some days ago for merely placing a quote from MLK), was a just cause. People were being subjected to injustices galore for the base reason of being of a different color. They could not go to the same schools, stay at the same hotels, apply for the same caliber of job, even satiate their thirst from the same drinking fountain. Moreover they were constantly threatened, and even beaten up and killed. And in the majority of cases, for a good period of time, the law was as good as non-existent.
That was a real cause.
Now, the pro-gay movement can enroll at any institution they want, they can have any job they want (and according to one income statistic report i saw they have the highest median income in the US, implying they are having good employment/income/earnings), there is no such thing as a 'Straights-only' bus bench or a 'Hetero-only' motel, and if anyone threatens them they can sue and have that person prosecuted faster than you can say 'hate crime.' Moreover the media and the entertain industry are wholly on their side for the most part, to the extent that it almost seems, based on media, that being gay is not just normal but the norm! Check out MTV to see what i mean, or better yet just take my word for it and save yourself from the basest most mundane trash that is currently legal on normal programming.
Goodness, the moment someone says something that seems to even look in the slightest askew to the gay 'cause' they can, and have, used the term 'homophobic!' Had Rosa Parks, who they compare themselves with, ever used the term 'racist' back then you think anythign would have happened. Her house would have been burnt down ....wait, it was bombed! Which gay activist has had a straight dude put sticks of dynamite next to their house?
These pro-gay dudes need to lay off. Soon they are going to start saying they are going through suffering reminescent of the Jewish holocaust, or that their voting rights are being infringed upon, or even maybe their native lands are being stolen away from them.

Good post spetznaz.
That was a real cause.
Absolutely. I'm not just some sort of cheerleader for the US...we've had, and still have problems. Real problems, not trumped up, overblown ones such as the whining left normally trot out.
Goodness, the moment someone says something that seems to even look in the slightest askew to the gay 'cause' they can, and have, used the term 'homophobic!
So true. I was thinking of writing up a post admitting to being homophobic...not in the dictionary sense, because that's not how it's used by the left anymore. They've taken to redefining words. As the left uses homophobic is to describe anyone who disagrees with them related to homosexuality. And I'm guilty of that. I am not, however, fearful of homosexuals. So if they chose to change the meaning, then they've removed the stigma related to it as far as I'm concerned.

San Francisco is filled with fashionable non-conformists. It doesn't take a lot of moral courage to be that -- just an inflated sense of self-importance and a desire to be a phony hero.

Some people get it. Amazing that the Chronicle printed it. Her email address is up there if anyone wants to tell her of their appreciation.
She's probably going to get a lot of nasty letters.
Conservatives need to voice our support for those who are standing up for reason, even if they aren't as strong about it as we would like.

These pro-gay dudes need to lay off. Soon they are going to start saying they are going through suffering reminescent of the Jewish holocaust, or that their voting rights are being infringed upon, or even maybe their native lands are being stolen away from them. It is interesting how these Dual Income No Kids homosexual unions live pretty upscale in the finest neighborhoods of San Francisco. Their suffering is more akin to the liberal socialist mantra that unites the gays with the blacks, Jews, hispanic surnamed, handicaps, poor, welfare, union worker, native american, and field hand. (Who did I miss?)They all get their piece of the pie when they stick together and create a dense enough left wing voting block. (SF is one.)
What we are really seeing is San Francisco competing with Mass. to be the first state to push the gay marriage barrier down. To bad Mass. decided to follow the laws and let the legislature act, you can't ever be first with that approach.

I am so confused on what to do! I live just 15 miles from San Francisco City Hall. I have 3 people I love very much and I want them to know it. So many advantages to being married you know, like:
- Medical benefits via my employer
- Community property
- Taxes - filing a married - joint return
- Simple family trusts to avoid probate
- Survivor benefits from my retirement
Come on freepers, I need your advice and help. Should I marry my mother, my sister, or my brother? Ohhhhh, I can't decide, I guess I'll marry all three.
Watch for me on the news!
