[QUOTE=Miller] I’m not sure how to go about injecting a woman with gay. I know how to inject a _man_ with gay, but if I tried the same thing with a woman, somehow it just doesn’t seem very gay to me. [/QUOTE] Well, we could try it. Then I could be _more_ gay, and you could be _less_ gay, and maybe we could just get Semi-Super Rights. And anyway, if gay people really had Super Rights, wouldn’t they insist on calling them “Fabulous Rights”? One must wonder about these things (especially when one has enjoyed several bottles of beer this very afternoon. . .) ---

[QUOTE=stolichnaya] Remember folks, with “Super” rights comes “Super” responsibility. [/QUOTE] I keep thinking of that one Warner Brothers cartoon where Wile E. Coyote tries to defeat Bugs Bunny? The one where he ostentatiously builds a door in front of Bugs’ rabbit hole solely in order to knock, and when Bugs answers, he presents his card and introduces himself in an excessively precise, erudite manner? “Wile E. Coyote: Suuuuper-Genius!” _knock-knock_ “Allow me to introduce myself. I am Home O. Sexual, here to exercise my Suuuuper-Rights!” ---

[QUOTE=tdn] [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. [/QUOTE] Paul Cameron is (in)famous for his shoddy and unethical research techiques, by supporting his position by selectively citing his own papers (which are based on shoddy techniques, etc.). See [this article](http://indegayforum.org/news/show/26867.html) from the New Republic, or this [UC Davis professor’s](http://psychology.ucdavis.edu/rainbow/html/facts_cameron.html) bitchsmacking of him. Basically, he exhibits all the traits of many “Christian” organizations like the Eagle Forum and the Family Research Council–pathological dishonesty and blatant igoring of the facts driven by hatred of homosexuals and homosexuality.
