Reply #46: I can't speak for every LGBTer here, but personally I'm tired of explaining this away [View All]

I'm tired of trying to be nice about it. I'm tired of this being brushed under the rug. Tired of it being explained away as fighting 'hypocrisy' when that argument makes no sense.

I suppose it might be better if I could read the same insulting comments over and over again without getting angry. Of course, having many of those posters tell me my opinion is worthless - that I should 'lighten up' probably doesn't help.

So, to get back to your original point...yeah, a lot of people probably do wish that Gannon was visiting Bush in some sort of homosexual tryst however, they need to understand how insulting many of us feel when we see OVER and OVER again the same assertion - that Bush is gay, that Condi is gay, that Rumsfeld is gay, etc ad nauseum. How many times do I have to refute this before I'm allowed to be angry? How many times do I have to read these before I can say - You know what...gays and lesbians are not really welcome here. I don't see to many heterosexual DUers speaking up in our favor so what am I supposed to think?
