Why Do The Effing Homos Keep Saying I’m Homophobic?
ABOVE: Karen Norling
Shorter Karen Norling, The American Genius
Am I A ‘Homophobe’?
- Some of my best friends are fucking faggots.
This is apparently homophobia month here at Sadly, No!, and our next guest after Trevor Thomas who wants to make it clear that she isn’t a homophobe either is Karen Norling. Karen is claiming to have four — count ‘em! four!! — gay friends. More importantly, she is claiming that having these friends means that she can can’t be a homophobe even though she would like homosexuality to be wiped off the face of the earth (in a loving fashion, of course). Similarly, by that line of reasoning, I was (during my rural childhood) friendly with a few pigs and cows which means that I can eat them without being called a carnivore. Indeed, because of that close association, I am uniquely entitled to call myself a vegan while scarfing down a bacon blue cheese burger. Wow, is that great or what??
Of course, the fact that [these four friends] are homosexuals would mean nothing to you — if not for the following fact: I am utterly, 100% opposed to homosexuality. I not only think it’s unnatural, but I think it’s morally wrong, and the thought of it repulses me.
Somehow I get the feeling that we may be talking about imaginary friends here.
If you think my “disavowal” renders me a “homophobe” — think again. I may be at odds with homosexuality, but I am not afraid of it.
Now where have we heard that before? How has this become the meme du jour? Unless gays scare the piss out of you, you can freely hate them, deprive them of equal rights, call them names, express revulsion in their presence, and stuff a greasy fried chicken sandwich down your throat to get back at the gays and not be homophobic. It’s like John Derbyshire claiming not to be racist because he once bought a box of Uncle Ben’s Converted Rice.
Today I am extremely happy, totally satisfied with the man I married nearly 20 years ago. I mention I’m happy and satisfied because it’s apparent that those of you who make liberal use of the terms “homophobia,” “homophobic,” and “homophobe” are trying to imply not only that we who oppose homosexuality are mean, hateful, unenlightened, narrow-minded clods — but also that we’re denying ourselves infinite pleasure and fulfillment — all because we choose to have sex solely with members of the opposite sex.
Oh, for Liberace’s sake, no one, repeat, no one is calling you homophobic because you don’t want to engage in gay sex. We’re calling you homophobic because you don’t want other people to engage in gay sex. We’re calling you homophobic because you want people who engage in gay sex to have less rights. We’re calling you a homophobe because the very next thing you said was this:
By frequently employing such terms, you merely sabotage your efforts to make certain that homosexuality is ultimately sanctioned by those of us who would strike it from existence if we could.
No, wanting to wipe gays from the face of the earth isn’t homophobic at all. And, just a thought here, have you told your “friends,” I mean, assuming that they are real, that you would like to strike homosexuality from existence if you could? Because, if you had — and this is just a thought — I doubt that they would be your friends for much longer.
Oh, and one more thing. Even though this was just published today by the American “Thinker,” Norling is simply recycling this — word for word and without any attribution — from a column she posted at Porno Pete LaBarbera’s site back in November 2011. Not that, of course, such dishonesty would suggest that she totally made up these four extremely dear friends who she also thinks are repulsive, immoral perverts.

Open letter–
Dear Ms. Norling,
Either those four gay people are not actually ‘friends’ in the traditional sense — in that you accept them as they are, without wishing to change a single thing about them. Or, in the words of the immortal Inigo Montoya, “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
Even money you’ve never sent that one ‘friend’ any of your essays saying you want to wipe homosexuality off the face of the planet.
Kissies (air-only, of course, because I don’t know where else that mouth of yours has been),

So the problem isn’t hatred of gay people, it’s just that we need a word whose root origins clearly mean hatred of homosexuals. Only then can these people can correctly identify themselves. Hmm. Missodomy? Homostility? Anhomosity? Homodium? As in, “Her writing displayed the severe homodium of a typical missodomist.”
Fuck it. I’ll stick with sociopathic hatemongering bigot. Works for me.

OMG what unreal boolean ‘thinking’!
So there is no middle ground of even *acknowledging* people have a right to do something you don’t like.
Either you are advocating for it to be stricken from existence OR you are trying to convince people they should *approve* it.
THere isn’t even the room to admit that homosexuality simply exists **whether or not** people approve of it or not.
At its base, this is quite enlightening. The unworkable logic shows it’s a poor rationalization that reveals it’s roots: “I don’t like it so you should stop it and you can’t change my mind because I don’t like it so you should….”

Dear Kathy, King of the Kitchen,
I must first contemplate your needlepoint. Having never seen that pattern, you must have done it freehand, and even spelled correctly. This is quite the accomplishment and you are within your rights to brag about it.
I also note that your cake managed not to fall in the oven, especially given the daily beatings of your children and your hamster, and the stream of invection I imagine must cross your lips whenever Ellen Degeneres dares remind you that she is more than just a pretty face.
But, Kathy darling, you keep forgetting your face mask and sufficient ventilation while applying Easy-off to your oven and your hamster, and I worry. Please take care, and remember the Teletubbies are an allegory.

Sure, those who want a “friend” who is utterly repulsed by them, wants them to be fundamentally different than they are, and works like hell to make sure they lack basic rights should TOTALLY pay attention and accede to YOUR cocky, condescending attitudes. Sanctimonious twit.

Well, that explains it. Her gay friends are such morons, they both pursue an obviously unrealizable goal, then subvert their foolish goal by being mean to her. No wonder she has no respect for them!
Then again, as already noted, the chance of such hopeless idiots living through the day without dying from forgetting to breathe is smaller than the probability that they really exist in the first place.

Since “hydrophobic” is used in regards to chemicals that don’t play well with water, we must then by wingnut logic assume chemical compounds feel fear. Interesting.

Use AB+, Ghostery, NoScript, and RequestPolicy. Sometimes I have to whitelist a site just to read it, or to read the comments. On occasion even that doesn’t help and I can’t read comments even if I disable everything (ex: Alicublog, Economist’s View). None of this happened (except not being able to read FB comments) until the new Firefox beta. A total piece of shit, it is, and every update makes it slower still.

Speaking of walrus sex (referenced early in the last thread – late to catch up – sorry), my buddy and I were at the Oakland zoo years ago and witnessed the walrus jerk itself off in front of group of school kids. It was simultaneously horrifying and fascinating; the beast barked aloud repeatedly and beat itself with its flipper (arm?) until this tremendous penis emerged and well you can guess the rest… We were shrooming at the time but that does not change what we saw, it only made it much funnier.

This recent trend is interesting to me: if they really hate all liberals and think we’re wrong about just about everything, why would they care what we think of them? Why would they object to terminology and phrases that they used to embrace with pride? Why do they come across as being so…sensitive?
It’d be like me saying, “No don’t call me pro-choice, that’s a misnomer.” Um, I believe that women should decide how to use their bodies. Do I think a woman should smoke while pregnant? No, but it’s her body. Do I think a woman should have a child that she knows she won’t be able to raise (whether the reason is financial, emotional or psychological)? Not really, but again, it’s her body.
I’m not going to be ashamed of political labels that have been used for generations just because the mainstream has changed their opinion on how put off they should be of them. Of course, that may be the other reason behind this: more people are equating “homophobes” with “scared jerks” and that doesn’t bode well for a group desperate for votes.

The one thing I like about all of these high profile CEOs going public with their objections to health care and gay marriage and basic human decency, is that it really highlights the personality traits of people who get rich. They don’t get rich because they are smarter or work harder, they get rich because they aren’t ashamed to look their workers in the eye and say “no, you don’t deserve health care.” and “no, you don’t deserve a living wage.” I don’t think I would have the guts to tell that to the people who made me rich.

Remember him? – Nym
Recently a friend of ours was among a group of people accused of discriminatory actions at his work. The case was rather fishy considering he had just won a settlement due to his being a victim of on the job discrimination. He had asked my wife (a lawyer who happens to be African-American) for legal advice and if she’d accompany him to some preliminary hearing. I forget how my wife put her answer to him (she was a bit more diplomatic) but in relaying this to me she was more blunt: “If I felt that it would be to [X]‘s benefit to show up, I’d show up in a heart-beat … and bring some of my friends along too, but I somehow don’t think ‘look at my black friend(s), do you really think I’m racist?’ would be as good of a strategy as [X] seems to think it would be”.

Today In Dishonest Fox Charts: Government Aid Edition
http://mediamatters.org/blog/2012/08/09/today-in-dishonest-fox-charts-government-aid-ed/189223
Fox News is again highlighting a misleading chart to distort the debate over welfare reform and to amplify Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s inaccurate message that President Obama is “dismantling” of welfare reform. In fact, Obama simply gave states the flexibility they asked for in overseeing the welfare program.
————–
Of course, FOX fought in court for their right to lie to their audience, so this is no surprise. (Nor is the fact that their willfully ignorant GOP base wants to be lied to.)

This is so generic it’s sickening. He likes getting paid millions to think about solutions his client might not have thought of, but he’s trying to make it sound so fucking profound. And he doesn’t even give an example of a company (you would think he’d have one or two favorite works memories, but as long as he’s being paid, who cares?) nor does he really give an example in any of his responses (before he tries to bolt early so he won’t have to answer a tax return question at the end).
Also, someone who craves an “analytical challenge” would not allow his press secretary to essentially say people should move to Massachusetts if they want awesome health care (read: stay alive), let alone allow all the other colossal screw-ups he’s been involved with in the last 60 days.

And I love the thinking and the analyzing as much as anything. I also enjoyed working with a team of people to arrive at ideas and solutions, and also to see ideas and solutions implemented.
Sadly, No. If that is what really floated Mitt’s boat, he’d be a science faculty member at a leading research university, busying himself and his grad students and post-docs by solving all sorts of cool problems, all while making a nice, upper-middle class salary (i.e. amounts of money Mitt would consider to be chump change) … and he’d probably be a Democrat.
The experience at Bain Capital was similarly analytical, to decide which business ideas really had economic merit and which did not.
I wouldn’t say this so loudly, Mitt. According to your political allies, which business ideas have “economic merit” shouldn’t be decided based on some pointy-headed analysis but based on TEH INVISIBLE HAND OF TEH FREE MARKET!!!!
By not invoking all that is holy in the name of Ayn Rand, you are committing political heresy here, Mittens. And your base ain’t gonna like it. Yeah, sure, the media people will give you mad props for being a “moderate”, but there are only so many media votes you can get while this sort of language won’t win anybody left of Joe Lieberman to your side. So, if I were you, I’d drop the egg-headed “analytic” talk before you loose the people who will actually show up and vote for you.
And then to do your best to make sure that the team was in place to execute its vision.
By firing people who will do useful work instead of executing your vision? Because you like firing people?

Sorry to leak the gay agenda (the gays should have known better than to tell straight guys like me their real agenda), but this may very well be true. I know that there has been a pretty much successful push in my religious denomination to “legalize” gay marriage (btw, what does “legalize” mean in the context of many Protestant churches which at some level are antinomian?). And this is, in my opinion, not a bad thing.
However, it is a matter of religious freedom, which the right is often wont to ignore in their rush to force their religious observances on the rest of us, to let synagogues, churches, mosques, etc., make up their own minds on gay marriage. Of course, that doesn’t mean we can’t hope that they come around to supporting it.
But religious freedom also means those who oppose gay marriage have no more right to make it a matter of secular law to not extend marriage rights to homosexuals (and how is allowing a man to marry a woman but not another man not completely unjustifiable gender discrimination?) than Jews like me have a right to make it a matter of secular law to forbid the consumption of blood sausages.
Just because the law allows gay marriage or blood sausage consumption doesn’t mean that your church has to perform gay marriages or my synagogue has to serve blood sausages at shabbos kiddush. But it does mean that your church (outside of, I’ll grant you, hiring decisions involving, for example, clergy) cannot discriminate or encourage the discrimination against gays any more than my synagogue can or should post a big sign saying “blood sausage eaters shouldn’t bother to come anywhere near here — not even to the senior center our shul runs for people of all faiths”.
Somewhere in the great literature on line I remember seeing that gays are not trying to enhance the definition of marriage but to desicrate it, to destroy it for all.
Oh … that’s an august source of “great literature” … “on line”. I wonder what porn site he was reading when he found out that the evil gay agenda was to destroy marriage.

As a 5′ 11″ guy who looks nothing like Val Kilmer, I have been to Key West on numerous occasions. I have been approached by guys a few times. I have no problem letting them know politely that I am not interested. I will admit that it was a little unsettling the first time, I was a junior in high school at the time, but I learned from that experience that it is really no different than being approached by someone of the opposite sex that you are not attracted to. There’s no reason to panic, freak out or be rude, just saying no thanks has always worked so far. As I told a friend of mine once who got a little freaked out about a similar situation, you may not want to go to the party but it’s always nice to get an invitation.

in which a man on camera accuses Mitt Romney of killing his wife.
weren’t panties in a wad earlier this week over harry reid’s accusation that he couldn’t back up? and here’s this imagined accusation, because…um, the dude doesn’t straight out SAY that mitt killed his wife…it’s implied that mitt’s m.o. may be problematic to one’s health…
A postmodern postscript: The Obama campaign was at first more than happy to slipstream behind the Priorities USA smear, refusing to disavow the cancer ad and deflecting questions by claiming not to “know the specifics” (Robert Gibbs) or “know the facts” (deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter). But even their professions of ignorance turn out to be false.
In May, Mr. Soptic appeared in an official Obama for America ad—”I’m Barack Obama, and I approve this message,” it concluded. Mr. Soptic told reporters his life story on a conference call, hosted by the Obama campaign and . . . Ms. Cutter.
i only saw gibbs, cutter and carney say they hadn’t seen the ad…splitting semantics? maybe…but the ‘i haven’t seen it’ is a common enough strategery…
damn, the dissonance is deafening sometimes…also, too the projection…

Actually, yes they have. Anyone who reaches the elite level that olympic athletes reach is subject to this type of scrutiny. Their trainers and coaches constantly monitor their weight along with just about everything else. At this level, just a half pound of extra weight can make a big difference. I have heard in the past coaches or announcers speculating wether a certain male athlete is getting too flabby or not. So when an official from the Brittish Olympic team expresses concern that a member of the team is getting fat, it’s a bit different than the nonsense about Kate Upton. Now, that being said, the whole fuss over Gabby’s hair is utterly ridiculous.

The fact that Romney has to campaign in Indiana in August makes me think he’s doing worse than you think.
As in, “completely fucking fucked, and they know the other shoe will drop in about nine weeks-fucked”?

Heh. I know something about needy kitties, Jeff. Ours came with the house we moved into three years ago because the previous owners just up and left her. She’s calmed down considerably but she was quite the fuzzy ball of abandonment issues those first few months…

Cats choose us… sometimes out of need, but whenever and why-ever they do, they never fail to return that love many times over.

Cats choose us
Very true.
When I went to the shelter to pick out a cat, this one six-month-old kitten kept meowing and sticking her paw out of the cage when I walked by. When I asked them to let her out she immediately jumped up on my shoulder. She’s been my friend for 14 years now.

Does Real Gary exist, or is he just shadows on a cave wall?

Clearly, it is time to retire the word “homophobe” and replace it with one harder to misunderstand, such as “homosexualocidal maniac”.

It would indeed be frightening to be attacked by furred furries from hell or Des Moines for that matter.
