Lord knows we can't have hate becoming taboo. And shame on you Alanocu for speaking out against the Sally Kerns of this world at your own peril.
HAHA, after being in the closet for so many years, I can tell you that Sally Kerns does exist, and when given the chance she will be the first one to pull your panties off with her teeth and moan and groan and want what she desperately hates so very much. Oh yeah, I've seen her kind many times in my church group, my neighbors, or outside a gay bar. I've seen women be avoided like the plague for looking too butch. I've heard ppl tell gay men to "go home faggot" while walking on their way home. The problem with being in the closet is not only is it...

I've heard ppl tell gay men to "go home faggot" while walking on their way home. The problem with being in the closet is not only is it exhausting to be self-censoring, but it's a soul killing suffocation to be constantly bumped up against a society that in sometimes subtle or not so subtle ways devalued my humanity. Oh, there is definitely hate speech, and we must all speak out against it. POP for this clip Alanocu.

f You begin to label speech according to your own subjective filter, then you are making yourself no different than Sally Kerns. Your object of intolerance is just different.

Don't mistake Alanocu's compassion and positive approach to those who indeed do hate others as a agreement with this kind of logic. Who says we have to tolerate anyone who spreads this kind of a message about other human beings? Of course she has her "right" to free speech. And we have the right to tell her exactly how we feel too.

I've just been really upset about this all week. I can hardly see straight and I end up blubbering every time I play this video. I've sent my mother in Okla City 3 or 4 articles and links about this and received no reply, so I can only guess she agrees with Kern, I don't know.

dakotayii thanks for that link. I hadn't seen that until now. I really appreciate you finding that. Thank you!

I was in Oklahoma City on that horrible day when the bomb exploded downtown. It was just a few days before I graduated.

I was in Oklahoma City on that horrible day when the bomb exploded downtown. It was just a few days before I graduated. I was walking outside to my car to go downtown at my internship at Merrill Lynch when the ground started to rumble underneath me. I honestly thought we had just experienced an earthquake.

I lost some friends that day. Luckily, no family. But I used to go inside that building almost daily. I knew some of the people that worked in the VA, HUD, and social security office.

If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.
~ Noam Chomsky

I believe that this great man's words have been badly abused here by a clipper. I hope it's out of an inability to read english rather than any malicious intent.

Chomsky is very clear and easily understood if read as written. He says clearly "for people we despise". We should not despise the person. Is says nothing about the words. Of course we must attack hate filled words while we should not despise the speaker/writer in person for the hate filled words.

I know I've explained this in greater detail than should be necessary for most, my complainee has a probl...

I know I've explained this in greater detail than should be necessary for most, my complainee has a problem usual in comprehending anything contrary to his/her views. I can explain in far greater detail if he still doesn't get it. I'm not saint enough to follow Chomsky's excellent advice myself, while accepting his wisdom.

I do not understand how she can feel so threatened by LOVE. And where is TOLERANCE?

How obnoxious to equate a Gay person with a terrorist.
I fully expected her to say next, that a person with aids was a terrorist and use the disease as a weapon in her rhetoric.

People like her need to be heard. If we don't hear them, we forget they exist. We become placid. If this woman put her energy towards education in schools without bias, maybe she would be the first person to learn something.

also, alan, sometimes mothers take a long time to come to terms with things, give her time. If not, move on, eventually the hurt will lessen and you will find plenty of people who will help heal any pain. I kno...
