"I wore red because sexual orientation is a vital subject in the Bible and it does state that homosexuality is a sin and God looks upon it as a bad thing," Barlow said. "But I wasn't in any way shape or form doing this in a discriminating or harassing manner."

I was visibly trying to let everyone know that I think you are an awful, bad person for doing something that has zero effect on my life, but, that is totally not meant to harass you at all. Oh, yeah, and by the way, you are a bad person, did I mention that?

Which of course means that all opinions are not tolerated, including his.

Maybe they should call it "International Day of Meta."

"I wore red because sexual orientation is a vital subject in the Bible and it does state that homosexuality is a sin and God looks upon it as a bad thing," Barlow said.

Actually, no it isn't, you little shiat stain. It's only mentioned in the bible about 6-7 times, and only in passing. It isn't any more "vital" a biblical subject than any of the other many, MANY things condemned as sin in the bible.

If you personally hate gays, that's fine. You're entitled to your opinion. But don't try to act like you're doing it for "religious reasons". Grow a pair, nancy-boy.

"But I wasn't in any way shape or form doing this in a discriminating or harassing manner."

Yes. You were. Again, grow a pair.

It's a case of "who's not tolerating who?"

That's "who's not tolerating whom?". I have no tolerance for bad grammar!

I'm assuming he also does not support Red Lobster. Otherwise he would be a hypocrite, and I just can't imagine that would be the case.

Oh, the white folks hate the black folks,
And the black folks hate the white folks.
To hate all but the right folks
Is an old established rule.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
Lena Horne and Sheriff Clarke are dancing cheek to cheek.
It's fun to eulogize
The people you despise,
As long as you don't let 'em in your school.

Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks,
And the rich folks hate the poor folks.
All of my folks hate all of your folks,
It's American as apple pie.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
New Yorkers love the Puerto Ricans 'cause it's very chic.
Step up and shake the hand
Of someone you can't stand.
You can tolerate him if you try.

Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics,
And the Catholics hate the Protestants,
And the Hindus hate the Muslims,
And everybody hates the Jews.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
It's National Everyone-smile-at-one-another-hood Week.
Be nice to people who
Are inferior to you.
It's only for a week, so have no fear.
Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!

I love how anti-gay religious nuts pick and choose what parts of the Bible they want to follow. The Bible also says you should stone to death anyone found working on a Sunday. I don't see him down at the mall stoning the workers to death.

FTA:

Laura Cole, parent spokesperson, stood up in the meeting and said students and parents reported that a teacher compared students who were wearing red shirts to terrorists, and other teachers called students "bigots" and "homophobic idiots" via email.

And? The truth hurts sometimes.

Intolerance is the hardest thing to be tolerant of.

Kid wore a red shirt to show he thinks teh ghey is a sin. That would be free speech. In the spirit of tolerance, we should tolerate his ignorance and move on. Way too many butthurt in this story.

Not to mention those sinful poly-cotton blends they wear.

If one of their brothers dies before conceiving a child in his marriage, do they sleep with their sister-in-law as the Bible commands?

Do they keep kosher?

Do they refuse to interact with any menstruating woman?

. . .or are they homophobic and find the Bible as a convenient excuse to call their bigotry a religion?

Straight people, persecuted like Christians in America.

Christians believe their mission is to spread the Word. I see it as reasonable if they stick to talking about it and stop trying to legislate it.

Don't know about that, but red and black were used as symbols for "Blood and Soil" by a group of notorious bigots in the mid-20th century...

I hate that argument.

My ability to be myself, to be true to my identity, is not shoving anything down your throat.

Is putting a picture of my same sex partner on my desk at work shoving my homosexuality down someone's throat?

Is being able to talk about what I did over the weekend without lying shoving my homosexuality down someone's throat?

"Hey, that guy thinks we he shouldn't be ashamed of himself. Let's get him!"

Stop blaming the victim.

Gays are constantly trying to show everyone how normal their sexual fetish is. I'm not a liberal that supports or secretly wants to participate in that behavior. No other mammal does it, it's not in your genes and you weren't born that way, you chose that way! Quit trying to normalize a sex act. Its man on man butt sex! If you enjoy it, do it! I don't need a bible to tell me what I find disgusting.

I had a few friends from Wabash, Indiana in college and they were all pretty cool. They were also laid-back pot-smoking hippies though so maybe they weren't a very accurate cross-section of the town.

From:

"However, Diversity Club members said the day was perceived to celebrate homosexuality because of the rainbow-colored shirts, and because Diversity Club was founded by an openly-gay student."

To:

"Diversity Club members said the intent was to promote overall diversity, not just homosexuality."

Am I missing something, or was this whole point of the article which was that no one had control over anything that was happening?

That is my new favorite song. I plan to d/l it and put it on a CD and then play it during the entire 4hr ride to the in-law's house for Thanksgiving. Maybe my teenage son, who is a dick about EVERYTHING he doesn't like, will learn something.

Oh wait- he's a teenage male. All he will learn is how to be a dick about that song, which he will not like.
