Somebody should tell Dr. Cameron that the rest areas, parks, and restrooms that have been commandeered for gay sex are for the use of the _married_ men having the gay sex. The _actual_ homosexuals, with their Super Rights, have gotten themselves better accomodations, often with liquor licenses. ---

In a similar vein, if all the homosexual-heavy countries of the world are going to die out from lack of breeding and child anal injuries, why worry? Move out to your little crazy right-wing island in deep Micronesia and wait for the rest of us to destroy ourselves. You being completely isolated from the rest of humanity will be the best option all 'round. ---

[QUOTE=tdn] At the end of a sentence in the first paragraph there is a “1”, leading me to believe it was a reference not included in the OP. It would be interesting to see what study it linked to. My guess is that it’s a sound study, but the moron that wrote this drivel cherry-picked the data to conclude that “fags is teh suxxor.” [/QUOTE] I looked for it also, but there was no footnote. I copied the entire text. ---

[QUOTE=Baldwin] Aside from the insane parts (of “Dr.” Cameron’s article), the basic argument is exactly the same bullshit used some decades ago by people like Jesse Helmes in regards to racial issues – that black people were demanding “special rights” (by wanting the same rights as everybody else). [/QUOTE] And you see where that got us, right? Now any time a black person wants my job, all they have to do is say so and I’m fired on the spot. I can only buy a house if no black person wants it, and whites are virtually unrepresented in the government. Not to mention the complete obstruction of federal research funding to cure jungle fever, a tragic affliction which millions of white males still suffer with to this day. ---

[QUOTE=tdn] 1. Banks C. The cost of homophobia: [/QUOTE] [Linky](http://www.lgbthealth.net/downloads/research/Human_Impact_of_Homophobia.pdf) Wow. It gets even better. Basically, Cameron claims that gays have a shorter life expectancy than heteros. He cites the Banks study, which states that any (minor) shorter life expectancy is caused by… Class, want to take a stab at it? Yep! Homophobia! But Banks also cites another study that claims a vast difference in life expectancy. Banks calls that study “flawed.” Who was the author of that study? Class? Anyone? Anyone? Yep! Cameron! So basically this guy posted a bunch of homophobic crap to the 'Net, then did a vanity search and used the results as his cites, without even reading the results. Putz. ---

> [@](#): > > Gays have fewer children while being more apt to harm them –Boy that just screams for a CITE. The bit about renting the duplex is absolutely ridiculous, at least in New Jersey. If the landlord occipies one unit of a two-family, they can refuse to rent to whoever they want to, without needing a cause. But the only way renting out the unit would expose your children to homosexuality would be if you were letting them go into the apartment any time and unaccounced. Which would be illegal and make it your own damn fault.
