as for the ad hominem, please look at your comment in #83. how did that offer a substantive argument?

By the way, it’s “The_Livewire” not livewire, bob.

In fact, your most defining argument is to babble nonsense, declair yourself the winner, then say that anyone who can’t understand your enlightened wisdom is an idiot.

I got over those ‘debate tactics’ in the 4th grade, thank you.

so my greatest sins are calling heliotrope, in a somewhat tongue-in-cheek manner, a “moron” and pointing out that his attempt to make a point was unsuccessful. I’ve been called just about every name in the book, including being called a “snake” and being accused of standing on a pile of hippo poo…just in helio’s last post alone. you can’t make this up, folks. NDT has called me every name under the sun, accusing me of, just off the top of my head, promiscuity, spreading disease, condoning taking children to sex fairs, etc. if you all take your blinders off and go back and actually read all the posts, you’ll see that of the invective offenders on this site, i’m not too high on the list.

Is there any reason for me not to fear “straight” “people”?

Here’s a clue for you, Attmay: they’re actually not out to get you. Here’s another: if they don’t grant you a State marriage license, well, (1) it’s not actually a denial of your rights, and (2) it needn’t have any negative impact on your life. Plus, they can be cute, furry and cuddly.

Besides the fact that you’re here because of ‘em?

Though I will give you credit. in your drama you actually use ‘phobe’ correctly. As in phobia, an irrational unreasoning fear.

As opposed to ‘homophobia’ n. any position I disagree with.

I greatly admire the pioneer gays who have earned their respect in general society and maintain their conservative values. It is so easy to jump on the liberal bandwagon and demand respect at the point of the government gun loaded with “hate crime” bullets.

Should my son come home with a gay partner, that would be another interesting chapter in my life and we would all proceed to grow and learn together. Should my son tell me he had to fend off a gay advance at work, I would caution him to keep things in perspective and to keep an even keel.

As I read the littleletterpeople, I have come to realize that some gay liberals will twist and turn what they wrote and what others wrote all the while positioning themselves to unleash invective while claiming perfect alignment with the stars.

Some seem to think they can raise their standing by perching on an ever higher pile of hippo poop.

I am a heterophobe and I’m proud. Is there any reason for me not to fear “straight” “people”?

“I didn’t insult him in this thread.” Yup, thats’ going to garner as much respect as “I didn’t hit my wife today, officer.”

heliotrope, I do hope your post was sarcasm. While I’d like to reclaim the ‘token straight guy’ status on the blog, I’m happy with the ‘token straight D/s guy.’

ILC, that was funny, I’ll be sharing that with friends who are big guitar hero fans.

bob, Re your disclaimer. I, heck most people, don’t ‘define you by being gay’. Indeed, anyone reading these comments should be able to see there’s no ‘gay definition’.

As to ‘gay culture’ isn’t such a thing artifical? By that I mean a recent construct or perceived ways and mores, not gays-as-klingons-artifical.

boob claims he has never namecalled or insulted heliotrope, but starting in this thread, he refers to heliotrope as “dense”, says his statements are “mindless”, and directly calls heliotrope a “moron”.

Boob is a liar and a bigot who is obviously used to using his sexual orientation to escape the consequences of his behavior. Treat accordingly.

Look, I am not a “welcome” voice on Gay Patriot.

heliotrope, are you kidding? We love reading you! Stay, stay, stay!

Seriously, I don’t find a lot of straight posters here

That means you add an important element of variety, or a “different” perspective, shall we say. And there are some straight commentors. I think The Livewire has said he is straight, and many other commentors.

ILC, glad you at ease with your mates.

I hope you understand that I’m just injecting a bit of levity in the thread. Sorry if it obfuscates your argument at all.
