YFORUM

Wow... I still think it's a good site. But if you go there, be ready.. Some of the things are gonna tick you off. The sheer level of ignorance and intolerance some people have. It makes me shake with rage and frustration at the same time. Here's an example of one tha I was very very tempted to let loose on. But I didn't. I'm goign to wait until I can formulate something a little more rational and a little less angry.

Subject: First holding hands, now marriage
Reply: (read original message)I think it's an outrage that gay people want to have the same rights to marriage that straight people do. Back in the 1930s, there was no such thing as gay people. If you were gay, you kept it to yourself because someone could kill you and they're only defense would be, he was gay. Then in the 1970s you saw everything - whores, gay people, people just walking around nude. Gay guys who just had hundreds of partners a night. And thus this is where society discovered AIDS. So now gay people can be gay, someone can know about it, they can even walk down the street and hold hands with another gay man and have no fear of what's going to happen. But alas, that's still not good enough. Gay people want their own schools and, most appalling, the right to marry. Why is it that I can't go to an all-Christian school for free, but gay people can go to an all-gay school? I think it's sad that we've become this type of society.POSTED 1/25/2004Renee, Clinton, MD, United States, Female, Christian, Black/African American, Straight, Technical School, Lower middle class, Mesg ID 1172004105850"
