Your ex-husband was obviously a sleazeball and not because he was gay but because he sounds like a selfish predator.<br /><br />Why should lgbts who have done nothing wrong to anyone have to suffer for his crimes? <br /><br />Also, your idea that homosexuality is a "destructive behavior" is wrong. Now I believe in individual choices and the fact that everyone has control over his or her behavior . . . to a point.<br /><br />When society creates a negative ambiance that lgbts, particularly lgbt children have to live under, you simply can't ignore the effects of this to their hearts and minds.<br /><br />Furthermore, I respect the fact that many people have a religious objection to the lgbt community. However that objection should not make it alright for them to make up phony facts or manipulate figures to denigrate the lgbt community and that objection does not give them the right to make laws to strip the lgbt community of our rights or hinder laws to strip the lgbt community of our rights.<br /><br />Your personal objection to homosexuality is just that - a personal objection. It should not give you carte blanche to put yourself on a pedestal or blame us for your ex-husband's crimes. Since you imply about people talking responsibility for their personal behavior, might I suggest that you practice what you preach in the case of your ex-husband. Blame him for his crimes and not the lgbt community.BlackTsunamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349560427762283170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-59240315339083386632009-08-01T20:59:25.480-07:002009-08-01T20:59:25.480-07:00I am tired of this.

He was detested by his father - but it has nothing to do with it? I am a christian. I never said an unkind word about God in my life, and asked the lesbian couple next door to watch my children - but I am judgemental? My exhusband treated me like crap, was abusive to the kids, preyed on young men (from 15 and on up) and continues to deny it, even though I witnessed it with my own eyes and even documented it - but it is all okay because he can now admit he is gay? He has destroyed lives around him, lied, abused, and been a man without integrity or honor. All this is okay because of hateful people like me? I am tired of hearing about people who actively pursue homosexuality being excused of every kind of destructive behavior and misconduct because a christian like me - who has never knowingly said anything hurtful to anyone in my entire life - is supposedly waiting in the wings to point a finger and say 'you're wrong'. I am sure all the gay and lesbian lifestyle supporters will find this just one more instance to label people homophobic and judgmental. Yet - I have been the scapegoat for his activities for what seems like a lifetime. I have been treated far worse than he has ever even thought of being treated, by the very person who would say I am judgmental, and our kids have been plunged into risks they never should have been - you all say what you want about your lives, and believe the politically correct lines you throw out. I know the truth, from behind the scenes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-27985634272348571512009-07-31T20:13:28.102-07:002009-07-31T20:13:28.102-07:00"Nor does he ever question the brokenness tha..."Nor does he ever question the brokenness that surrounds him – drugs, risky sexual behavior, alcohol abuse, depression and suicide – except to blame society. "<br /><br /><br />Studies have shown that substance abuse, suicide, mental health problems and other issues among LGBT people can be linked to the discrimination they face at the hands of others, being "in the closet", harassment, etc. The way FOTF and others try to pretend it's caused by "being gay" and not a result of societal factors is disingenuous at best.Buffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328034026300036704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-59310494353549804092009-07-31T10:43:33.679-07:002009-07-31T10:43:33.679-07:00"drugs, risky sexual behavior, alchohol abuse..."drugs, risky sexual behavior, alchohol abuse, depression and suicide."<br />Yep, heterosexuals NEVER have those problems. I guess my entire family is gay.<br />Is Johnson old enough to have grown up during that period? I've seen his picture, and he doesn't look much older than me. He hasn't a frakkin' clue what it was like to be gay in the '50's and '60's. I don't either, but at least I have the presence of mind to guess how tough it was-after all, it wasn't even LEGAL to be gay in some parts of the country.Bill Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-35793660222430485592009-07-31T10:33:53.848-07:002009-07-31T10:33:53.848-07:00Just Thanks.Just Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-75800013653882014612009-07-31T10:01:26.324-07:002009-07-31T10:01:26.324-07:00I wonder if the moron even realizes that Harvey Mi...I wonder if the moron even realizes that Harvey Milk was assassinated 30 years ago.
