Well, Nimsay, at least you're proud

The BBQ Pit

In “My parent/sibling/child is Gay.” Tell your story, Nimsay succintly declared:

1: The thread was for people with stories to tell, not for people to throw in their $0.02 on how homosexuality makes them want to barf. The comment was innappropriate for the thread - though it was ignorant and inappropriate in any case.

2: That’s funny. Homosexuality makes you want to barf? What a good reason to oppose it! You know, most straight people that are accepting and open to gay/lesbian folks probably don’t find it to be their cup of tea either - that’s why they’re straight! Not finding it to be appealing has never been a good reason to despise something

3: The Biggie. I’m SO glad to hear that you’d be proud to disown a GLB family member! What a wonderful display of unconditional love and support for your family! They must be proud to have such a morally upstanding person in their family, with the strength to disown them for being one o’ them homo-sexuals.

Seriously, how sick is that? This kind of ignorance and bigotry has no place on the SDMB, people.

4: The possibility exists that you were joking. Haha - don’t do it again, if you were. It was still out of place, inappropriate, and not funny. But somehow, I don’t think you were. Here’s what I think you should do, presented as option a and b.

A: Reexamine your attitude. Get some education, come back when you’ve learned a little about how hard it is to be gay in this society, especially if you have family members that would willingly and proudly disown you. Try and imagine, just a little bit, of having those that are supposed to love you unconditionally and unreservedly abandon you, wish death on you, call you “fag” instead of “son.” Very proud, huh? What a wonderful thing to do.

If you find you just can’t accept this, then you should know better than to bring it up here. Don’t participate in threads like the one linked. It’s inappropriate, it’s ignorant, and it’s unfair. Don’t do it. If you find, as you said, that you “Just have to say it,” then -

B: Leave, and don’t come back. Please.

I know this is pretty mild for a pit thread, but I’m too tired and empty-headed to work up a good stream of vitriol at the moment. So, I’m sorry, but I will give the requisite “Fuck you, asshole,” just to make sure my feelings on this subject are clear.

Fuck you, asshole.

That will be all

Damn. Didn’t really notice this thread until I posted my vitriol in the wrong forum, so I guess I’ll repost and see if maybe the mods can delete the excess.

I realize this isn’t the Pit, and I probably shouldn’t be saying this, probably will regret it later, but fuck that…

And fuck you. Even if you had a blood relation who was gay, you’ll never ever have a family member who’s gay. Why? Because families are based on a little thing we call “love”. People like to expand the term to “unconditional love”, but thats ridiculous. Honest love of another person cannot have any conditions, because otherwise you’re loving an image in your mind that you like to believe the other person is.

By your words, and by that definition, you love no one.
Therefore you have no family.

And therefore, at the end, when my anger and frustration are spent, I don’t hate you. I pity you.

Because I have a family. They love me, sometimes in ways that drive me nuts, but always they love me. They would do everything within their power, drop everything they feasibly could, just to help me if I needed it. Gay/straight/bi/trans/whatever they may not always understand the whys, but their love is without limits. And knowing that depth, that treasure, that simple beauty, I love them back. In my own, flawed, feeble, ever so human way, I try to reflect back a fraction of what they’ve given me. Without cost, and yet without price.

And the thought that you would scorn such beauty, walk away from such wonder, evokes only sorrow and pity.

I am truly sorry for you.

I just HAD to add that.[/quote

Damn damn damn. Then I add insult to injury by double-posting the sucker.

Hoo Boy - here we go again.

Nimsay - go away and grow up. Really.

I’m glad I’m no longer in the running for “lamest newbie.” I think Nimsay just won the prize.

Jebus, what a fucker!

Wow…anyone else think the gene pool could use a tad more chlorine?

Guys, guys guys! Talk about a waste of bandwidth! What’s rule number one with trolls? Something about not feeding them? And what would you call someone who posts to a thread about gay family members to say only that they don’t have any but if they did they’d disown them?

I’d call it someone who’s going to get banned by themselves without any pit threads to help.

In other words, don’t bother getting mad, just ignore it.

Thanks, guys.

I was not at all amused by that post in my thread, but all I wanted was for the Anti-Human to go away and not interact with us normal humans.

'Cause you know what happens when when Human and Anti-Human meet? Mutual annihalation.

In my thread, I asked for stories. I didn’t say they only had to be good stories. And some of the things posted are sad. But, and this is the important part, even the sad stories show no hate on the part of the poster.

You know what makes me want to barf?

Eating mayonaisse. I think I’m going to disown my dad-he eats it.

12

Yams do it for me. I’d proudly disown any family member that ate yams.

13

Boiled ham

14

Excessive amount of radishes

It’s nice to graduate, isn’t it?

Now go wash my truck.

I’m curious (well, not all that curious) to know why that Nimsay creature inserted a smilie after offloading that pile of crap.

Anyhoo, I’m against idiots, so I guess that makes us even.

Assmonkey.

Personally any sort of pork product makes me quite queezy…

YES SIR! (grabs Turtle Wax and #00 steel wool)

Just leave that ‘hard shell’ finish, chief.

Really Guinastasia? I love mayo…only on subs though. You would hate my sister, she eats it right out of the jar, with a spoon.
