Gays Are OK, But Homos Go Home

February 14, 2010 3 Comments

Gotta love semantics.

A recent poll has revealed that while a whopping 58% of Americans are cool with gay men and lesbians serving openly in the military, only 44% are okay with homosexuals doing so.

The study also implies that 14% of Americans need a course in LGBT, or at least a good old fashioned dictionary.

The CBS/New York Times poll also found that:

Why the difference in views?

Homosexuals are group with political connotations and an agenda. Gays and lesbians are people we know and maybe even like. They are individuals in the community.

It’s a lot easier to like individuals than it is to like an advocacy group, just ask the feminists.

    The term “homosexuals” reminds people of the disgusting and immoral acts done by homosexuals. “Gays and lesbians” has been given a hip connotation by nonstop homosexual propaganda coming out of media centers that promote smut.

      Dear Ben,
      The question here is: What sort of world do you want to live in?
      So if men are sent off to defend your country and your freedom of speech , no matter how extreme and inflammatory your views may be, if they are gay then you would rather they were not alllowed to do so?
      I cant help but wonder how much knowledge you have of gay sex?? Perhaps you did it wrong, as I find it to be most enjoyable! Disgusting? Do you know something I don`t?
      I callled you `Dear Ben` at the beginning as unlike you, I believe we are all of the same human family, in spite of hatred and bigotry..

    I think anyone should get to sign up to be a state sanctioned murderer and further this nation’s agenda by invading and subsequently occupying foreign nations, whether they are gay or not.
