How freaking Crazy-Stupid is this bitch? - Page 2

Honestly, I'm wondering if she doesn't see the biggest problem as the lack of circumcision. I'll bet she was *shocked* that didn't happen because in her mind it's What People Do and this is an excuse to get her way on that issue. Just my experience that people who present "problems" like this usually give more airtime to the lesser of their concerns.

Good lord, that is frightening. What is she going to do if she does think that would "cure" it? Force him to get circumcised? The lack of foreskin=straight logic is just puzzling.

Well, clearly she is ill-informed. I think Abby's response was spot on and one can hope that this Grandmother will do some further investigation and accept her grandson, without judgement no matter straight/gay/bi.

Do you think that major media coverage of this type of anti-gay rhetoric helps or hurts the cause of gay rights?

I would say it helps. It shows people that ignorance is no excuse and gets them thinking about the issue.

And that leads me to wonder. Was the "granny" real or simply another activist who found a new way to push his cause by sending a fake letter to Dear Abby.

A friend of mine was having problems with his mom. He thought that she was upset that he was dating a man. Wrong. She was happy he found someone. She said something like, 'I don't care that you're dating a guy, I care that you're dating a goy.'
I thought that was funny.

In today's newspaper, there was a letter from an elderly woman to this doc who runs a syndicated column. She was wondering why it was necessary to have a Pabst test when she was no longer sexually active. The doc was very kind in his response, but he did point out that beer wasn't a necessary component to the procedure.

Pabst Test!

I can't get those any more since I quit drinking.
