Meh.
Do you really believe that people like Sally Kern would think differently if this facility were instead named "Camp Quiet Valley"?
There are still hotels that will not rent single-bed rooms to gay couples. There are still co-ops that reject gay couples as buyers. And don’t get me started on gay adoption, gay blood donors, the Boy Scouts — Etc. Etc. Etc.
Never underestimate the capacity of bigots to be bigots, no matter how hard gays try not to "rub anything in anybody’s face." |

Well, as far as cute names attached to ’aternative lifestyle" campgrounds goes, there’s the nudist place in Virginia, called "White Tail Park".... Or used to be...

Never underestimate the capacity of bigots to be bigots... Nope, wont do that.
Of course, gays are equally capable of bigotry. Their overwhelming hatred of the Boy Scouts is a fairly good example of that. |

It’s endemic to the human condition. So what? So, some people just have to be written off, no matter what you do. But, those aren’t really the people I’m talking about.
Why go out of your way to alienate the rest of the population as well? |

I am a bigot but not because I hate gays. I couldn’t care less about a persons sexual choices it is just that it is taught to children/young adults in school. It is on the TV every time I decide to watch a show. Judges and politicians make laws saying gays deserve more protection then me. It is shoved down my throat.
Yea, I tend to rebel against things that are forced on me. The thing I can not but help thinking when reading your post (as said above) is the boy scouts. If the gays can make a camp then why can’t the straights? |

My liberal nephew told me this story about a gay student that was beat up at this high school.
The story ended with few people, including him, being very upset that this guy was beat up.
Seems he was bragging about his gay exploits ad nuseaum.
My nephew said .. "just like everybody hates a guy who brags about his sexual exploits, everybody hated hearing about this guys gay sexual exploits, so nobody felt bad that he got beat up." |

...gay blood donors...
Never underestimate the capacity of bigots to be bigots... Nevermind that, at least in the US, HIV still remains much more prevalent in the gay community than the community at large. Nevermind that the almost the only vectors for HIV transmission in the non-gay community are shared needles, sex with someone who is gay, or an infected blood transfusion. Nevermind that early stages of HIV are not always detectable in the samples tested in donated blood. Nevermind that if you receive a blood donation that is HIV infected, you likely will become HIV infected. If you want to reduce the possibility of transmitting HIV through blood transfers, you are a bigot. |

This is off-topic but Lorens comment gave me the opening to say something which I have been wanting to say for awhile regarding socialist health care.
If we can mandate people to eat less, drink less or smoke less because it will increase the cost and treatment of health care then can we not also ban gay sex? Not being gay but having gay sex since it would increase health care costs. Could a employer ask if you smoke or have gay sex before giving you a job?
Just asking. |
