BlackTsunami said...: Hey Frank,

To answer your question, the claims of these so-called pro-family groups are very farfetched and your links prove it.

The first link was talking about a single incident involving a vicious piece of performance art - but the only reason why you seemed to have included it was because of the sexual orientation of one of the participants. It's the equivalent of someone posting a crime involving an African-Americans to stigmatize the entire race.

2. Now your SECOND link clearly demonstrates your deliberate ignorance as well as the deliberate ignorance of those who use fetish events to demonize the lgbt community.

The pictures were funny and would have been more funny HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE HETEROSEXUALS INVOLVED in some of the pictures. So why are you using these pictures to demonize the lgbt community as a whole while ignoring the fact that there are clearly heterosexuals seen "getting busy" in said pictures?

Because you are quick to stigmatize lgbts that you pay no attention to the fact that the links you post refutes your entire argument. Nice try, little man. But you get an F.; 9:37 AM
BlackTsunami said...: And I almost forgot to say this - the fact that you push such nonsense on this post - which has nothing with your subject of your comment - speaks for itself. But - and a friend told me to tell you this - thanks for the fetish fair pics. LOL

Don't worry, by the way, the friend is a heterosexual.; 9:39 AM

The police are hostile, they generally find your victimization funny. With the general public you either get treated like a cripple or a monster.

The gay organizations are worse. If you don't want to walk around with a big T on your forehead, don't show up."And could you use the alternate facilities darling? you make the real women nervous. Yes this has happened to me in queer spaces, and yes I'm post op. sadly I'm 6'2.

Ad if you are post srs and you declare yourself "gay or lesbian" you are the worst criminal ever. The "infiltrator" Its homophobia for gays and lesbians. It seems everyone has to have someone to spit down on.

You don't know shame till you get out of the stirrups at your lesbian feminist gynecologist and as shes putting away the speculum she refers to you as him to the nurse.

Noticed? Even here the trans topic got hijacked? because nobody cares. All we are is a disposable commodity. A bargaining chip to be discarded by the HRC when they want a vote to flip.; 2:31 PM
BlackTsunami said...: Dana,

I can't say that I know how you feel but I can tell you that as an African-American gay man, I have felt on MORE than one occasion like I don't count and that the issues pertaining to me and mine are high-jacked even by those who supposedly mean well.

All I can tell you is to stay strong and keep fighting. You may not see it now but being vocal about the problem does a long way in solving it. But don't just be vocal. Be solution-oriented ;p; 2:46 PM
Penny Marie Sautereau said...: Real classy Frank, mouth off with your hateful bullshit RIGHT after a rape survivor is discussing flashback trauma. And you wonder why your side loses steam EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN YEAR. Classless hateful repugnant bullshit. And Dana, I'm intersex, so you never need to tell me about the bullshit Trans women put up with. Story of my life.; 2:52 AM
Penny Marie Sautereau said...: Oh and not YOUR fault Alvin, I'm the one who pressed play knowing it wouldn't be pretty.; 2:53 AM
BlackTsunami said...: It's all good, my friend ;p; 4:46 AM
