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

[Republic]

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.

"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."

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

[Calpublican]

Sheesh!

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

[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.

[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.

Some ideas smell like flowers...

And some smell like farts...

Once in a blue moon some smell just like spoiled tuna.

Dear Paula,

I'm not known for being quite this straightforward, but, heck - it's Veterans Day (something you wouldn't understand). Since I'm feeling quite direct tonight, let me just say......... eat s*** and die.

I just went to their homepage and you'll never guess what's on the frontpage. Press Here What kind of paper is this?

[The Thin Man]

This is simply one of the most pathetic articles I've ever read.

[NetValue]

Cultural advancement seems to be based more upon courage, loyalty, selflessness, family, and good management than on what 1% or 2% of the people do in bed. Do your thing, be quiet and private, and just stop pushing yourselves on the other 98% of us.

Hillary's account of 9-11

How dare those firemen try to replace my signature ol' crusty with their uniforms! I thought of those yellow stripes first when I met Bill!

[klee]

Could it be that gay men feel they are inadequate in comparison to their straight counterparts and are questioning their own masculinity? Thats no ones fault but their own.
