It sounds like there’s a whole lot of prejudice and phobia going around here, and it’s not just homophobia. I mean, I guess the phrasing could be read more than one way, but instead of “and even worse, gay people aren’t the only one’s they’re stigmatizing!”, it seems they’re saying “oh my god, can you believe they would lump us in with <i>hookers</i> and <i>junkies</i> and treat us like <i>them</i>???” Which is <b>not okay</b>.</p> </blockquote> <p>cosign Cara’s statement.</p> </blockquote>http://chloelikedolivia.net/post/424782482http://chloelikedolivia.net/post/424782482Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:41:24 -0500GOP Sen.
