Slog - Comments on The Right to Slur the Gays http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/04/post_32 I knew it was coming, but that doesn't make it suck less: Today the Los Angeles Times reported on the growing movement of conservative Christians willing to sue for the right to discriminate against gays. From the Times: The religious right aims to overturn a broad range of common tolerance programs: diversity training that promotes acceptance of gays and lesbians, speech codes that ban harsh words against homosexuality, anti-discrimination policies that require college clubs to open their membership to all. At the center of the Times story is Ruth Malhotra, a 22-year-old student at the Georgia Institute of Technology, which...

Throw a few more like that in front of a judge and see how that "Right to Oppress" fares. ;)

Here's her email if anyone wants to chat with her: gtg540h@mail.gatech.edu

Apparently, she like to talk about all sorts of subjects (especially politics, religion, and baseball) and wear 'Kiss Me I'm Republican' buttons while having her photo taken with cardboard cutouts of the un-President (do a google image search to see the photo).

I know the argument "homosexuality is a lifestyle choice, race is not," but then religious beliefs could be used to discriminate against single mothers, people who masturbate (i.e. everyone), people who eat pork, etc. Those are all "chosen lifestyles."

Still, if the government can ban the Hare Krisnas from the airport, why the hell can't they make that bitch shut up, too?

I believe Comte was referring to That Bigot Ruth who is suing Georgia Tech, not That Bigot Daniel, the nutcase whose spelling/grammar issues are nearly as tragic as his violent homophobia.

Subject: Daniel is a gay name, ya know.

Hey, dude, I don't mean to bum you out, but in Seattle the name "Daniel" is also slang for anal sex. They say Daniel is a lot like denial. So if you were to come here, and say your name is Daniel, girls will assume you're a fag and guys will expect you to take it in the ass.

Looks like your parents fucked up and gave you a real zinger.

But it's a good thing his brother makes so much money. It's not easy having a retarded sibling, particularly after the parents die. At least there will be money to take care of the poor dullard.

I can assume the link his brother sent was to one of David's columns/posts, but if I were to pick a Big Fag at the Stranger, I gotta say I'd have to go with Dan Savage (although Christopher Frizzelle is a close runner-up with the latest "I went to Club Z for the sake of journalism... no, really" article). No offense, David, but Dan mentions he's a mo about every issue, among many other Obviously Gay Traits. Was David's just the closest email or do you think Daniel (obviously an intellectual, especially in the way he artfully deconstructs language to convey local dialect) really thinks that David has a significant influence on the homo-quotient of Seattle? Or perhaps expressed an interest in fucking Daniel's brother? Where is Eli Sanders in all this? I'm perplexed. Thoughts?

(He sent other, similar screeds to "editor@thestranger.com" referencing the Club Z article specifically.)

But lucky me, I got a kuh-razy rant all my own...sigh...

FYI: Daniel Landers (see above) has been keeping me abreast of his ongoing e-conversation with Mr. F. Frekis' latest message went like this:

"You wana spame me huh? YOu want a fuckin' war you jizz eater? I'm calling my brother right now prick and we SHALL see what happens next you motherfucker! SIGNED BushTastic American STRAIGHT White Male!"

Let me tell it to you this way tough guy- after WWII do you know what the French did to the "colabros"? They shot them DEAD- no torture like you're into down at the "Z Bar" where you get a fist in your colon (hey did you know that guy who got fucked by the horse??? wher's that in your diversity parade huh?) they got legitimitly executed BY LAW and all you guys you think its soooo funny t cuddle up to al Qieda but you'll see, oh if AIDS doesn't kill you first!!!!!

Hey Stranger editors:



I think it's time to reprint that list of "who's not gay at The Stranger" so your loyal readers will know who to throw homophobic slurs at, and also who to hit on at parties. Thx pussy you faggots.

In other words, I have to wonder how committed a Christian this person is.
