Dumb things conservatives say:

Other than "I wouldn't have them anywhere near my children," where's the problem?

I don't even have a problem with that.

I don't even have a problem with that.

For me if I had kids, it would depend on if said gay friends were flaming gay or just regular gay.

I think there are two things that make it a pretty stupid statement for general publication, but given the media that published it, it's not that unusual, or 'queer' - notice this is used correctly here.

first, just because 'queer' exists as a defined word, it isn't used in that meaning when it's used as a slur for gay people. If you hear someone yell 'Hey Queer!' you don't think 'Oh, that gentleman thinks that other person is strange and unusual. I should applaud him for his command of the English language'.

second, after defending the slur because it's a proper word, he falls back on the 'some of my best friends...' which I think is generally accepted as bullshit - unless you know a lot of highly desperate people. Most people I know don't really call people who use slurs against them and justify it, don't think they deserve the same rights as you, and know that you don't think enough of them that they can be around your children, etc. 'friends'. I find that sort of hard to believe.

Well it's a known fact that gays try to recruit others to their way of life at a very young age so he's smart to keep his gay friends away from his children.

Also gays can be cured of their gayness.

Ya, they're like gypsies. If you're not careful they will steal your kids.

Actually, if the person is having a genuine gay attack, the human body has ways of shutting that whole thing down.

Which is exactly why the gays try to recruit at a young age before the body develops this kind of defense from gayness.

It's basic science.

I'm confused why real gaydar devices aren't being sold yet. At least in Spencer Gift stores if nothing else.

Is that store even around anymore?

[Jeril]

Yes, that store is still around, I go in there for laughs from time to time.
