And not likely to be one anytime soon.
But don't take that to mean I am a drama queen, up in arms at those mean, nasty, dastardly comments by Duck Daddy.
Folks, one person's homophobia is another person's faith - you know, just like one person's freedom fighter is another person's terrorists. Besides, what the hell does homophobia mean, anyway? No one said that anyone was afraid of gays. Maybe we should call this "homopitty" because thinking homosexuality is wrong, a sin, a one way ticket on the fast track to hell is not phobia. Just like, in some "queer eye for the straight guy" way, thinking that Duck daddy is a bearded creature from another plant is not phobic - it is judgemental. Considering his opinion crazy and archaic is not phobic, it is judgemental. And ain;t we all judgmental?
Look - there is lots of shit I do that others do not like. I have been called an asshole more times than I can remember. I drive crazy. As is clear from my posting here, I own and carry firearms. I am sure that all of that and so much more makes me some sort of subhuman troglodyte to some folks. But know what - no whining, no crying, no big deal. I don't give a shit.
So - time to get over thinking everyone should accept you for what you are - it ain't happening. Be what you are. You want to hold gay pride parades dressed in your mother's underwear - have at it. Don't care! You want to be Dan Savage and talk about straight folks like they are morons and trash catholic priests (not that I care for them either - just making a point) - then have at it. But you can't do all that and then cry foul when someone speaks their mind about you and your behavior. This ain't no one way street - you are not making the rules for the rest of us.
Look, this is not about freedom of speech; other than prohibiting the government form outlawing speech, there is no such thing. That is the beloved capitalism and freedom we all love - we can say what we want (and have sex with whom we want) if we are willing to deal with the aftermath. Speech has consequences. So Duck Daddy's drool will have consequences, somehow I doubt he said it thinking no one would notice. A&E suspending him for his opinions is also their right - that damned capitalism and free enterprise stuff. But it will have consequences. No speech is free - no act is free; what we say and do have consequences. Time to get over that.
But look - liberals - there was a time you seemed to care about rights. Of course, it seems you are only interested in what you want to do. But you can't tell other people how to live one minute and then next say no one else should tell people how to live. It's not logical, it makes no sense. Doing so makes you look stupid - perhaps you are stupid.
The man's religion tells him that a man lying with a man is akin to a man lying with a beast. Yep, I think that's pretty stupid. But then I also cannot relate to a man lying with a man so I find both ideas a bit foreign. I suggest you both not try to convince me otherwise. Especially not when you want to take away my rights.
My thought is that both of you have the right to your thing - so deal with it.
And I am stuck here between you idiots.
