i had to jump in on this one...

i cannot believe the amount of ignorance i have just read by some people in this post.

it's the same people that are saying things like "gays should burn where they stand" or "they should perform tests on fags" that half a decade ago were calling black people n|ggers.

do you see the parallel drawn here?

what were black people doing wrong in being here? they were different, they weren't accepted. and it was a**holes like yourself with the intelligence of a stapler that probably made derogatory comments and participate in lynchings.

millions today look back and wonder how people could HATE blacks so much, to the point that they would take it upon themselves to deprive individuals of their life because they thought they were better than them.

now imagine a day 50 years from now when people look back and wonder, "why did people hate gays so much?" They haven't hurt anyone, they mind their business and keep to themselves.

It has taken this country many years to recovery from a history of racism, but to this day these ideas and stereotypes still live. Gays will be another chapter in this country's encyclopedia of hatred.

Many movies depict the struggle that african americans had to endure, and portray their advocates as far and few. Now ask yourself, who would you like to be in the movie... the guy fighting for african american rights, or the guy in American History X smashing a negro's skull on the curb?

Some day gays will have equal rights and no one will question them (just as nobody questions the rights of african americans).

Don't be a contributor to the hate and take a step back from the situation before your kids grow up wondering why their mother/father was so ignorant.

(i'm sure some smart ass is going to speak up and ask me if i'm a fag, so i'll answer it now: NO, but i have gay friends and believe it or not, they're not bad people nor do they hit on me or assrape me while i'm passed out)
