At a time when the government of Saskatchewan is trying to accomodate marriage commissioners who refuse to marry gay people because their Monkey God doesn't allow it.
Instead of firing their bigot asses.
At a time when an Ontario school board compares the Gay-Straight Alliance to a Nazi group. Even though bullying in Canada is a huge and shameful problem.
•85 per cent of LGBTQ students reported being verbally harassed at school in the past year because of their sexual orientation.
•40 per cent reported being physically harassed.
•19 per cent reported being physically assaulted
•Compared to Canada, fewer of the American students, 61 per cent, reported that they felt unsafe in school because of their sexual orientation.
Even worse than America.
At a time when Vancouver is the gay bashing capital of Canada. Gay people are being assaulted all over Canada. Or having their homes torched.
At a time when Stephen Harper and his Cons are preparing to strangle us ALL.
What's the most fevered cry in the progressive blogosphere? Solidarity forever? Down with the tyrant?
No.
Nigger. Nigger. Nigger. Faggot. Faggot. Faggot.
Because we can't hear the faggot word enough eh?
Look I respect the views of my progressive brothers and sisters, even when I disagree with them. Even when they just don't get it.
But why are so many white straight people sooooooo indignant when they've never felt the sting of those words? Or the murderous violence that so often comes with them.
What part of the hate that kills don't they understand?
What about the gay kids who hear the faggot word all the time?
Who will speak for them if we don't?
What kind of company are these bloggers keeping?
Why did so many make it a bigger deal than even the Blogging Tories did? Why are they sooooooo indignant?
Since when did they become the sacred guardians of the "N" word? Since when did repeating the "F" word so gleefully, over and over again, become a progressive thing?
Nigger.Nigger. Nigger. Faggot. Faggot. Faggot.
Those heroes and their brave act of defiance. Their sacred satire. Our bloody lives.
Oh well. I thought progressives put people before art. Or a word in a lousy song.
I thought we were family.
They can keep their faggot song.
I like this one better...
