The amazing things people said during testimony for Senate Bill 2

Why is it that anti-discrimination and basic rights issues to protect Oregon's GLBTQ community, brings out the most hateful, ridiculous and appalling statements. More than that, they're actually pretty humorous for their ridiculousness. Here are a few favorites, if you can call them that.
in 2007, amazing things people say
And the person I had a hard time not looking at, was this enduring person, who sat perfectly situated behind the speakers. God bless you blue shirt person: that was one long ass day. Basic fairness, basic rights: absolutely.

It is amazing how ignorant people can be. I don't understand at all.

Thanks for the reminder.

Lovely. Just lovely. It amazes me to no end that people like this even exist in this world.

I can't begin to follow the so-called logic these folks are using. WTF?

My favorite quote/non sequitur has got to be: "Children are like chickens and they will peck away until they have killed."

??????????????????????????????????????

Most of the men that have approached me in public restrooms or locker rooms are straight men looking for a quick blowjob. We homosexuals don't need public bathrooms, we have bath houses.

I don't mean to be so blunt but that bitch needs to find out what her husband is doing at the gym all the time.

OK, so these people without functioning brains will actually go on record with quotes like that, yet we're supposed to be threatened as a society by the GLBT community???? Riiiiiiight.

Um. This happens to you? A lot? Not in my lifetime, not in my lifetime. Maybe I need a new brand of deodorant.

I tried very hard to force my lifestyle on a few random people today, but none of them capitulated. I need to go back for remedial recruiting class.

Child molesters are "17 times more likely to be homosexual"??!?!?! Where in hell do they get these so-called statistics?

grrrrrr.....they piss me off!!!!

bemused said...

Gee, so this is what fear looks and sounds like...

My anger is mixed with pity for them and their narrow little lives and hearts.

A child is more likely to be molested by a heterosexual man then a gay or lesbian. We should not allow heterosexual men to have equal rights, or protection according to this logic.

It's going to change soon, it has to. My daughter is a lesbian and it is my hope she will be able to marry whomever she chooses. She didn't chose to be gay, it is who she is.
