Reply #104: You don't think the McClurkin issue is worthy of criticism. [View All]

[Sapphocrat]

You dismiss our criticism as "histronics."

Your "overplayed hand" remark is the same thing as "faux outrage" / "play the gay card" / any number of tired old euphemistic terms that really mean "fuck off, gays."

You don't care about the deeply damaging and often fatal consequences of the "ex-gay" movement.

You don't care what we think, and you don't care why.

If you did, you would ASK why this is a real issue to us. But you don't -- you think you know everything there is to know about it in order to dismiss our very real anger and pain, and it's just tough noogies if we don't like it.

I've heard your song a thousand times. You're just a different singer.

And before you reach for "Some of my best friends are gay" / "My daughter is gay" / "My son is gay and he doesn't care about McClurkin" / whatever is supposed to pass for your "qualification" to tell us we're full of shit, save it for somebody who hasn't heard it all before.
