Ah, Michele Bachmann. Part of the Republican brain trust. Yes indeed, armed gangs of gays are right now roaming the streets bitch slapping anyone wearing a cross or a 3 piece suit that is not accessorized correctly.

They're bitch slapping anyone with a 3 piece suit accessorized or not.  They're also targeting anyone with a 2 piece, 3 button suit as well as most shades of grey.  2 and 4 button suits in the appropriate fabric are being taken on a case by case basis.  Be careful out there if you have a job interview.

I don't understand how they would have enforced SB 1062 anyway.  

What would they do when two religions contradict each other?

When they were handing out brains, she thought she heard "trains" and she asked for a nice slow moving one.

I'm going to go download Frozen now. I hear it's good and I haven't seen it yet.

Ok, I'll admit it!

I recruit/bully Christians and other heterosexuals!

Everyday I wake up early in the morning and go door to door passing out pamphlets about how your life will suck unless you accept homosexuality into your heart. If they decline my offer of salvation and refuse to partake in the gay holy communion (some top shelf wine - red or white, sushi, a selection of cheeses, and a small side salad with an artisan raspberry vinaigrette) I'll condemn them as the dirty breeders they are.

Whenever I see a tv show showing heterosexuality as a normal and morally neutral thing I'll fly into a rage and call the my cable company or the FCC so they can remove that filth from my screen.

When I'm not outright proselytizing my friends and I are bullying. When someone mentions they are heterosexual we'll casually say things like "well have you ever been with another man? How can know you don't like it unless you have tried it?" or "you're just another worthless breeder!". Sometimes I get so angry when I see a heterosexual couple hold hands or kiss that I'll attack them! Shit, if my friends and I even see someone who looks heterosexual we consider beating the shit out of them. At the very least we call them names and threaten them.

As per my friends, one of them is a business owner. He'll throw any heterosexual couples out of the store for being offensive to families. He also refuses to hire heterosexuals.

All that is just a short list. All in all, us gay people are bullies, but you must realize that we can't allow heterosexuality to be accepted in this society.

I'm honestly convinced when I read this nonsense, that 'conservatives' like this chick, really haven't been properly laid in a good long while.

But, I digress.  #-o

I think it's sad that there are even terms like 'straight' and 'gay' to 'describe' people. And bullying 'the American people,' subtly infers that gay people aren't part of 'the American people.'

When I was Christian, I never felt this way. Just so some of you know, not 'all' Christians are bigots and against homosexuality. But, the Bible does promote it...goes to show, I was never quite 'sold' on that book.

I was once dragged off the street and forced to drink a beer in a gay bar and I had to walk in backwards with my pants around my ankles!  :shock:  Well,  maybe I exaggerated, but I did get married and had kids and had to support them!  :shock:

I know you're being sarcastic, but I'm going to go contrary to conventional forum wisdom on this.  

I personally get a little tired of the pro-LGBT thing sometimes.  It's pushed pretty hard at work and I get emails asking for support on this or that LGBT event.  I really don't want to hear about your sexual preferences and romantic relationships at work.  Great, you're gay, have fun with that.  Now go away and let me do my work.  

There's a time and place for everything.

Arazona Republicans need not worry themselves with such details when trying to stop the LGBT from taking over America.

I think there are well meaning Republicans out there, but the party's image is that of a bunch of crazy people.  I don't think you can put that blame Democrats.  You might make a better case for blaming the media (because they report all that crazy stuff that the crazy people do).  But the media loves crazy stuff.  It makes interesting reading.  If you don't want the image of crazy, it's probably a good idea to stop acting that way.

They can keep pushing for all I care. I look at it this way, while I do not necessarily care what others do and support LGBT rights, I also do so for my own selfish reasons. They force this issue into the open and acceptance, all walls fall. Being a Socialist or an Atheist no longer matter, if you accept one of the "great evils" everything else is pale in comparison, it brings credibility to most any position.

I'll admit that businesses tend to go overboard on the whole diversity thing, but they kind of have to as a safeguard.

Someone who feels that they're being unfairly treated at work because of race/gender/orientation/religion might sue because of it. The company needs a way to show that it had done everything it could to promote diversity in the case of litigation.

It's only been very recently that LGBT people have been largely open (and I suspect that most are still mostly closeted, particularly in groups that force a masculine idea upon men and a feminine one on women), so they're going to want to nip any particular problems in the bud before it costs them in litigation.

Basically the pro-LGBT pro-diversity stuff isn't necessarily for you, but for those who think they can get away with doing something against a co-worker.

Ideally, anyways. It's mainly a safeguard against lawsuits.

We all love you a little more right now.........

There is the other side of the coin. I am friends with a retired gay interior decorator. I did some favors for him when he moved here, and he has reciprocated in kind, from collecting my mail when we are on vacation to advising on wardrobe issues (he describes my general dress as "redneck butch", just to let you know; its the sleeveless shirts, I think). Last time we went on vacation we came back to find our deck furniture dusted and tastefully rearranged. He swears it wasn't him.  :-D  Nice guy, good friend. I already told him if he ever did get married I'd be honored to attend the wedding.
