Interesting dialogue between you and Christine, Dwight, and this probably is mostly in response to Christine's reply to you, and really to Christine because she lives there.
I love facts. And read a lot, too. Lots and lots. For the life of me I haven't read about the "gangs of homophobic teenagers (plural) who come (as in implying all the time, incessant) and beat gay men (like jump out of cars, beat them and peel rubber) to a pulp in San Francisco.
Actually, such behavior with a media controlled by upper class East Coast gay intellectuals always ends up in a center spread in Time, U.S. New and World, and you name it. I've only seen two of them.
Why am I missing all these baseball bat attempted murders?
Could you please give me a source so I can verify that gangs of homophobic teenagers are beating sweet gay men in San Francisco.
IF, now IF you are talking about a huge uproar over a mugging that took place maybe what 3 years ago, and the boys were supposed to have shouted "Die Faggot" or something, or death to all queers, or something, and that was headlines for a long time. I know you remember that. Is that the case you speak of?
But that was not the way it came out in court, where the actual FACTS were related and proven. Seems the gay guy was taunting one of the straight guys to do something for him that a really straight guy just doesnt' dream of doing in his entire lifetime. And yes, the gay man was beat up rather soundly.
Then there was a similar incident of poor judgment on the East Coast, very similar and that was a little later.
As for the East coast, it seems the gay guys over there on the East Coast had the same habit, and yelled at a really good looking marine to do something that he, the Marine, did also not like the idea of doing. The Marine was with some buddies, and well, you know, poor judgement on the part of gay men in a bar yelling out the door to the street.
Now, I'm sure somewhere in time some boys have taken a very, very strong dislike to some homosexual, but then young good looking boys ARE what turn the homosexuals on to the max. Often the boys cruising for girls resent being the object of desire of men of the same sex. Seems only logical.
And sometimes this does not please the boys as much as the homosexuals believe it will.
Can there be an truth in what I'm saying? What I'm saying is that the original facts in the newspaper and what trickles out as follow up months later often conflict.
Again, I'm just roaming around here making comments on current events based on my knowledge of the current events.
Anyway, was that the incident? Please clarify. Again, there may be the other, but why doesn't it ever show up in print? And if it doesn't, are you SURE it's happening? Just curious. Do you witness these things regularly?
To infer that this is constant and regular activity, encouraged and condoned by "Christians" reminds me of Nero blaming the famines and plagues in Italy on the Christians worshipping the new god and turning against the lord of darkness which ruled Italy for a couple of Millenium.
I know you seem to try to be fair and objective and look at things from both points of view. |
