thank you Skinner and mods for taking homophobia seriously |
|
You said you would and you have. And it makes this place more hospitable for all of us, both straight and gay. Cheers!!! :toast: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=211779

4. I am not a member of your community |
|
meaning that I am not GLBT and I don't post regularly in this forum.
Having said that let me say this: I was counting the days!
If that poster set it off for me, I can only imagine how this person impacted all of you.
Here's one from me!

10. Well, it's gone now, but he made some statement about wanting a civil union too... |
|
Edited on Mon Jan-12-09 08:44 PM by PelosiFan
inferring that he was discriminated against because he couldn't get one, and he posted a grinning picture of Harvey Milk in the OP. Then he ridiculed anyone who objected to his "humor."

16. His use of Harvey Milk's picture was disgusting, offensive, and shameful. |
|
Milk would roll over in his grave if he knew that his image was being used in conjunction with a thread that made light of equal rights for gays.

17. Imagine if someone used MLK's of JFK's picture in a similar context. |
|
I really don't think I've ever seen anything as offensive on DU as that OP.

I'm so glad I got off one final insult to my "favorite" poster! What an infamous a-hole he was. I hope you are reading this jerkwad! You are not fit to be scraped off Harvey Milk's shoes.

There are three especially offensive "revolving door" tombstones that I can think off off the top of my head. I just hope this one STAYS gone.

36. I'm thinking he'll be back within a week. |

Still, a week off would be pretty stiff punishment for a mere homophobe around here, considering how quickly most are resurrected.
