We feel that homophobs who worry so much about it should probably come out of their closets, and stop being such annoying little pests.

I like the gays in my community.....especialy my spouse. The question is now.......how do you feel about them?

This is exactly the sort of thing conservatives fret over, hatred and bigotry. Never mind all the people dying in unjust wars, the economy or health insurance, there are gay people to worry about.

same as all people, it depends on the actual character and personality traits of the people and whether they are helpful or hurtful. How are you Mark?

I like gay people; both men and women. They are some of the most intelligent, interesting, caring and creative people I've known.

You know who I worry about living next door to? The loud, inconsiderate, selfish redneck type. You know who I mean...the repulsive guy who showers every two weeks whether he needs to or not, and has his-piece-of-shit-beater up on blocks in the driveway, large permanent oil stain underneath, adjusting the carburator at 1:30 in the morning.

Geez...that sounded harsh.

We're totally afraid that the gays are going to attack when we sleep since that's when we hear they get you. We're also thinking crack could help us stay awake.

Same as all people? I think not. I'd form the opinion that you are obsessed about gays, and I'll tell you why. A couple weeks ago you posted this same exact poll over on the "other" forum. Now you drag it in here like a bloody rag in a dog fighting ring trying to eek out reactions.

So, what IS your problem with gays anyhow?
