I think that paper is irresponsibly promoting hate speech. Let’s twist it a little:
On Monday this was in the paper:
"To all those people who insist on giving my husband no respect because he is a *****exual, I just wanted you to know that he is the father of two and a teacher to many of your little ones. He is riding to work so that we can eat at home. Please give him a little room."
Today, two responses:
"To the husband of the ***: Marriage wasn’t created for queers. Tell him to go get a woman."
and
"Dude, we don’t care about your husband the ****. He’d better watch where he’s going or he’ll be strung up to a picket fence."
Is there really any difference? Is there?
