Hell, I'm just glad she didn't say "Homophobia is a form of terrorism".

[nocommies]

SCREW SENSITIVITY TRAINING! hows that for sensitive, pretty boys and tough girls?

THis is so sad....what a perverted person. It is too bad that sometimes people who suffer from the incredible burden of homosexuality also seem to suffer irrational thinking.

As long as there are people who want to broadcast who they are by what they do in bed, there will be problems. Sexuality is not ethnic. Sexuality is nothing more than 'sex'. Advertising how you 'get' that sex is a crazy way for anyone to identify herself or hisself. The quest for normality is hopeless. Normal people don't go around saying what their sexual preferances in the streets, workplace, etc.

i am a perosn whose sexuality is only awakened by breasts over size 38dd. anything less is neutered to me. there! you know my sexuality. but, do you really need to know that? and why the hell should i be telling you, and expecting something from you because of it??

"Many lesbians and gay men may, in fact, be finding themselves with conflicting feelings about these "manly" professions, which, though esteemed for bravery, have traditionally been bastions of homophobia and sexism.

I don't think those "big, burly guys " are at all afraid of lesbians or queers.

[Endeavor]

You ever notice how with liberals, it's always all about them? It's always about certain kinds of "feelings." Ironically, those "feelings" are rarely those of selflessness, honor and country above their perceived "slights" by others.

Not to say that gay men and women aren't or can't be selfless, honorable and loyal to country. It's just that those who represent them in the press don't champion those particular "values."

[Faraday]

Two (blissful) months it took for the professional victims to crawl out from under their rock. I have one word for them...ANTHRAX!

[nocommies]

these people sound like the yahoos who dont want to hurt kids feelings by keeping score in sports games anymore. need the big nanny state to censor gay jokes. that will definitley make america a better place!! how many of these morons do you think OPPOSE tax money funding art with the virgin mary splattered with cow dung? they have the right to that federally funded free speech, but firefighters dont have the right to tell gay jokes? holy cow whats going on????????????????????

[Calpublican]

Sheesh!

[RnMomof7]

I owe ya a good flag and here it is!

[cascademountaineer]

I've been finding the adulation of male firefighters and cops troubling, since hypermasculinity and homophobia often go hand in hand. Look, why cant she just admit she's insecure and absolutely pathetic?

There is a war on the American Man and Woman. And these sad types are the people behind it.

People so insecure that they attack the very people who would give their lives for them, though they are no doubt "working class heros" who may earn much less than the average "gay activist." Why cant people like this realize that its their own bias and insecurity that is the root of the problem?

Not public servants who choose to put their lives on the line for them, day after day.

Hunter didn't get the treatment that might have saved her life because a fire department emergency worker on the scene got freaked out by her male genitalia.

LOL LOL LOL....sorry I couldn't help myself

[Ciexyz]

I simply don't believe the story about the transgendered person who supposedly died because a Wash DC firefighter freaked out at the site of his/her male genitalia.

[Fintan]

I'm trying to picture Ellen DeGeneres, Melissa Ethridge and Rosie O'Donnell raising the flag at Iwo Jima, or facing down Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg, or storming the beach at Normandy with "sensitivity training".

Then I thank God I live in the real world.

[LarryLied]

I believe the left is coming unhinged by recent events. She writes as if finding that is normal.

[lds23]

But I guess a fake one is OK?

"manly" professions, which, though esteemed for bravery, have traditionally been bastions of homophobia and sexism.

duh, that is the problem with the feminization of America, not enough disgust for destroying the values needed in times like these.
