Learn To Hate
Jesus… I hate it when bigotry is framed as an inherent right. Before you can hate, you must first be taught to vilify and dehumanize your target. It’s only after this process has taken place that you can view an entire class of people with suspension and conclude that segregation is appropriate. This process […]
The Gay Agenda: It’s Real
I’m sure you’ve heard about this thing called, The Gay Agenda. Right wingers have been talking about it for quite some time now. Have you ever read it? I bet you didn’t know that there is a very real Gay Agenda. You see, it all started back in 1978 when the Houston queer community came […]
