I’m not gay but I think the post is great. I’ve been arguing the same points for awhile now.

Alright Amber, I was making a freaking joke about MYSELF by posting that which you would have seen had you read the comment directly above yours.

Of course, when I make “generalized” statements you seem swift to come down on me … and oh yeah, what was it BofA that published a list of like 100 different minority groups of which they supported but because they left out gender you get your panties in a tizzy?

It amazes me that Heterosexual people can’t get it through their head that it’s not a choice.

To me, the “some” is a pretty obvious implication in that statement. Like when feminist bloggers write about men doing this or that. Obviously that doesn’t mean all. Duh.

duane, I figured as much, but I just wanted to make fun of myself a la the “big opponent to blanket statements” line.

dave, I don’t think that he meant all… it is just easy to make statements like that when you are mad. I am always careful to say “not all” when I refer to the heteros!

Jake, didn’t Reba make fun of them at the CMA’s? WTF was that all about? besides, I would take the Chicks’ side ANY DAY.

Yo, Shan!

You may want to include the word ’some’ in there. Not all heteros feel that way and I being a big opponent of blanket statements just wanted to make sure you were aware of that.

I thought of you today, Duane.

Lesbian at lunch: You know, I was OK when the Dixie Chicks were blasting George Bush. But when they started in on Reba McIntire, well, they’ve just gone too damn far.

When they start losing the dykes, it’s over.

I’m so sick of the whole gay is a choice thing that I won’t even get involved in an discussion about it. I’m liable to hit the moron. Thanks Duane for the long post. Hopefully a few right wing homophobic assholes will read this and if it makes them at least think then you have done well. But don’t count on it.
