Letter to the Editor of the Morning

Posted by on Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 7:00 AM

Now gays have decided they are a protected class entitled to get married. No discussion alowed, they get it or they boycott your place of work and graffiti your residence. They compare themselves to ethnic minorities or races of people. The fact is that they are neither, Being gay is a lifestyle choice. What do gays think about sexual predators, adult men who want to have sex with 6 year old girls and live with them? Gays say this is not a protected group because only gays can determine the protected groups.

It's not enough that they got domestic partnerships or freedom from sodomy statutes so they could fuck each other is the ass without the threat of some sodomy conviction. No for gays it's just about them. No discussion is necessary. In fact, gays collectively are a bunch of perverts. If you want to marry, move to Connecticut. We have enough cooks and waiters in California already. You don't like the laws in this great state, just leave. I'll just have to get my blow jobs from someone else!

Ed Schutzman
San Carlos, CA

I understand up until the last sentence. At which point, Ed loses me.

Say, you know what else is a lifestyle choice? ... Mormonism!

Prop 8 & 1/2: An Amendment to Define Marriage as Being Between Two Non-Mormons. Coming soon to a ballot near you.

Oh, and Mormons: It's not hate, just disapproval, so no hard feelings, okay?

Yes,

That last sentence is the most confusing. Also, I didn't know that gays were limited in employment to cooks and waiters. Haven't we infiltrated the media too?

Being Christian is a lifestyle choice too!

In a way, that last sentence kind of explains everything.

Yeah, who decides which sentences are in bold at Slog. I think the last one merits at least some italics.

Waiters and cooks? Shit. I'm going to have to break the news to my friends in grad school. Tough luck, fellas.

i think that for this guy, being heterosexual is a lifestyle choice, and a choice he's clearly not happy with. which makes his whole existence pretty ironic.

also, cooks and waiters? who is this guy?

Yeah, what he really means is he'll just have to find OTHER straight guys who will let HIM blow THEM.

eh... either the entire thing is a joke/fake, or just the last line.

the arguments are all so stereotypical, that it really seems a poor imitation. the last line would then be -- since the entire thing is a joke -- continuing the stereotype that those who are most against teh gays are actually hypocritical homosexuals themselves. that's the way i read it.

Now do you see how victimized straight people are by gays? Not only are gays taking away the specialness of marriage by getting in on the act, but they're also forcing their unwanted "oral sex" on people like our letter writer, who was minding his own business in the bushes at 1AM in the park when suddenly, out of nowhere...

Poor straight man... he needs a fluffer to help him get through this hard time.

this is obviously a joke.

Whatever it is, it's the fourth thing that comes up when his future employer Googles "Ed Schutzman". Congratulations, Ed!

@ flamingbanjo,

hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee...

"Honest, officer! I'm really a straight married guy! I'm not gay, not gay at all! That homo leaped out of the shrubbery and attacked my cock with his mouth!"

"What were my pants doing down? Um, uuummm, the zipper broke...and, and then he just leaped out of the bushes at me! Honest, I couldn't fight him off!"

What a fag.

My theory is that Ed wrote this letter, and then someone else tagged on the last line and is sending it around. Of course, I could be wrong...

@15,


Exactly!! What a douche!

Is this the same Ed (Edward Israel) Schutzman who is a retired CPA and came in third in the San Carlos City Council election in 2003 and whose emails start with schutz4 and taxeddie @ .juno. ? And whose name appears several times with Judith A. Schutzman of the Mental Health Board?

Just curious -- maybe he freelances for The Onion or something. If I had a spare email address, maybe I'd ask him.

The last sentence makes it all click. This letter sounds like it's got some serious gay envy going on.

Maybe the last sentence was a freudian slip?

Too bad this person didn't follow his own advice and move out of CA when "the laws in this great state" allowed for gays to marry legally...

So where is the pro-gay religious leader stepping up to tell the world that the wild fires in southern California must be God's terrible retribution for the passage of Prop. 8? You know that if it had gone the other way Hagee would be blaming the fires on its failure...

"Totally 'not gay' GWM in search of other self hating fags to cook for me, wait on me and then blow me whilst I choke on the Connecticut constitution."

Sounds like fun Ed. Name the time and place.

Maybe gays should determine the protected groups. I think they'd do a damn good job.

That's DOCTOR Cook or DOCTOR Waiter to you, numbnuts.

@27 im also waiting for someone to start publicly making the argument that after massachusetts allowed gay marrage the red soxs won the world series after an 86 year curse, the patriots formed a football dynasty, and the celtics returned to form.

seems to me god has made himself pretty clear on this one.
Posted by douglas on November 17, 2008 at 10:50 AM

I'm actually on board with this. Send us (Connecticut) your happy, out, marriage and family minded gays and lesbians, and California can keep the self-loathing, angry, closeted ones.



(actually, don't come here, Hartford and New Haven are shitholes and the rest is meth country, brain-dead suburbia, or WASP-central. Stay where you are and fight to make the sunny state livable, so WE can go there.)

i'm starting to feel sorry for the real "ed," as this is obviously satire.

Some straight guys apparently believe, "Don't look a gift blowjob in the mouth."

Sodomy laws protect Ed Schutzman so he can fuck some consenting woman in the ass or mouth too.
Posted by elswinger on November 17, 2008 at 12:06 PM
37
I meant "the repeal of sodomy laws."

and apparently this douche is a lawyer 15 min away from San Carlos:
