[There is one other diary on this by
redtravelmaster, "Perversity is not diversity: My Letter"; he references my blog,
Pam's House Blend, but I thought I'd post the original information here, as well as some of the other responses that have been received so far.]
Commissioners Jennifer Roberts and Park Helms want to bring Mecklenburg County into the 21st century by supporting anti-discrimination laws that include gays and lesbians and add domestic partner benefits. There's a battle ahead of them that includes combatting a level of ignorance that is not to be believed.
Holy sh*t (pun intended). When I posted a few days ago that members of the Mecklenburg County Commission said they would advocate for domestic partner benefits, Commissioners Park Helms and Jennifer Roberts expected a firestorm from the bible-beating, homo-hating Right. The county, which includes Charlotte, has a number of large companies in the area that do offer domestic partner benefits, but it hey didn't have to wait long to find out what the wingnuts thought of the county taking that action...
Bill James, a Repug (of course), is serving his third two-year term on the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners, representing District 6. This redneck bumf*ck is in desperate need of therapy, and I would add, a bit more literacy, sex ed and access to factual information. His obsession with real or perceived sex acts is, well, insane. Note the preoccupation with
male sexuality...
Bill James - one of the ignorant faces of hate and bigotry in NC.

Subject: Perversity is not diversity
You really think that a pool of people (homosexuals) where 45% of them eat feces from the rear end of another male is "normal"? If you do, you are frankly nuts.
A lifestyle where one of their past times is buying gerbils and hamsters from the pet store and cramming them up their rears in an activity called feltching? A group of people who like to urinate on their partners and call them "golden showers"? Where one of the honored members of the Gay Alliance is an organization called the "Man-Boy Love Association" that promotes sex with underage boys?
That behavior is worthy of protection? That behavior is worthy to be taught in our schools? to our children? You are one sick "Independent, white, married-heterosexual, presbyterian" if you do.
The stat's below are unimpeachable. I intend on talking about each and every one of these "behaviors" if this sorted subject comes up. I am lining up speakers including Doctors and Nurses to talk about these in gruesome detail. And these are the behaviors that Parks Helms wants to "insure"?
Attached is a wav file with a Charlotte news account of one of those "feltching" accounts gone wrong. I will play it from the BOCC dais if this comes up.
This attached account stars Robert D. Raiford in a real news account when he read the news from a local radio show in Charlotte . He now plays in County funded show "The Mecklenburgers".
This and more is summarized at the attached
web page.
In a 1994 survey of 2,500 homosexual men in The Advocate (a national homosexual magazine). The results were published in the August 23, 1994 issue are as follows (warning again - this material is explicit):
Sex acts homosexual men say they love:
Insertive oral intercourse 72%
Receptive oral intercourse 71%
Insertive anal intercourse 46%
Receptive anal intercourse 43%
Receptive anilingus (tongue in the anus) 45%
Insertive anilingus 29%
Sex acts they engaged in (last five years):
Three-way sex 48%
Group sex (four or more) 24%
Bondage & discipline sex 20%
Use of nipple clamps 19%
Sadomasochism 10%
Where they met their "partners" (last five years):
Bar/disco 65%
Bathhouse, sex club 29%
Adult bookstore 27%
Park, bathroom 26%
Roadside rest area 15%
Most (57%) report having had more than 30 partners over their lifetime, and about a third (35%) report more than 100 partners.
About one quarter (26%) of HIV-positive men who have had insertive oral intercourse have had sex in another man’s mouth, most typically with someone they have just met.
Among men who have had insertive anal intercourse in the past year, 44% had sex with a partner without a condom. Among those who had receptive anal intercourse in the past year, 58% had a partner who had sex with them without a condom.
Among HIV-infected men who have had insertive anal intercourse in the past year, 19% had sex without wearing a condom. They most typically did this with long-term partners or with men with whom they had a purely sexual encounter rather than within the context of a relationship.
Anilingus (tongue on or in the anus) is fairly common:
41% have performed it in the past year, and 47% have received it.
When engaging in insertive and receptive anilingus, only 4% to 5%, respectively, have used dental dams to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
Among men who had had a positive result from an HIV antibody test, 11% have said or implied that they were HIV-negative in order to have sex.
Another study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control in 1972 revealed that 50% of male homosexuals have had over 500 different sexual partners. Other studies show that AIDS victims average 1,100 different sexual partners.
In one study, two homosexual researchers found that 73% of adult male homosexuals had had sex with boys age 19 or younger. 93% report anal sexual relations.
92% report oral/anal sexual activity.
17% report eating and/or rubbing themselves with the feces of their partners.
29% report urinating on or in their partners.
37% report sadomasochism.
42% report "handballing" or "fisting" where the hand or arm is inserted into the rectum of their partner.
32% report bondage.
12% report giving or receiving of enemas for sexual pleasure.
15% report sex with animals.
You know, Republicans want the Democrats to bring it up because they see it finishing off the Democrats next year. The statement I get the most is "if your opponent is self-destructing, let him do it".

http://billjames.orgWjames@carolina.rr.comThis is out of control bullsh*t. I'm sick of this kind of sex obsession when all we're talking about are civil rights. The only people thinking about sex and orifices in this debate are the far-Right Taliban types that are likely engaging in much of this behavior since they are studying it so hard. It's embarrassing to think the majority of people in his 150,000-population district actually voted for this bastard.
James also made national headlines fairly recently by asserting publicly that urban black children '...could not be taught...' because they are raised in a 'moral sewer' constructed by their parents. He also got a very public smack down on Hannity & Colmes for his extremism. He is a publicity whore.
As the person that passed this on to me said, "The more extreme the Religious Right gets, the more it can help the causes of liberty and justice for all by exposing the hatred and xenophobia that fuels its actions rather than the 'Love One Another' admonition the faith was founded upon. Bill James needs some serious therapy to get to the root of the pain and damage within that causes him to spew this sewage from his own personal moral sewer."

Letters to the Commissioner...Dear Commissioner James,
I do think you didn't go far enough. You recently wrote this:
"You really think that a pool of people (homosexuals) where 45% of them eat feces from the rear end of another male is "normal"? If you do, you are frankly nuts."
But why modify your description of this practice by reference to gender, or, indeed, sexuality? Putting aside the fact that lesbians may also engage in this activity, so might heterosexuals. Heterosexuals may be eating feces from each other's rear ends! This disgusting practice no doubt leads to burdens on the non-feces eating taxpayers in the form of time lost to work owing to feces-eating-related sickness. Let alone the future pain and suffering of Hell reserved for all willing eaters of feces above the age of 2! You need to step up and try to pass a law that would prevent all feces eating, of whatever sort, of whatever sexuality, of whatever combination of genders! You need to step up and investigate the sex lives of all your citizens.
Perhaps a questionnaire would be the way to go. Simply mail something out to everyone in your district that says, "Dear Sir (or Madam): Do you eat feces from your sexual partner's rear end? If so, please be informed that you are in violation of the law."
Yours in Christ,
Karl the Idiot
*Dear Commissioner James:
I am male, and lick my female wife's anus and sometimes "felch." Should I turn in my marriage license?

*Commissioner Bill James,
I have never been so astonished by one man's hate as I was by you through your letter. Let me first say that I am a Christian, straight, married and a father of three sons. Second let me say that I hope that they never come in contact with a man who suffers from your lack of character, compassion and intelligence. The study you site is bogus. But you know that. The hate and lies you spread can only be result of your own fear and insecurity.
My God said that the greatest of his gifts was love, he did not stipulate. Please open you heart and you mind to others.
Short of that, I have included your letter below so that you may ingest your own feces. It is the least you could do, to truly taste the shit you are asking others to eat.
Sincerely,
dad
*Dear Commissioner James:
Do you sodomize your wife?
*Dear Commisar James,
Your rather bizarre catalog of various sexual acts does make at least one thing perfectly clear. You seem to have a rather unusual preoccupation with other people's sexual behaviour.
Perhaps the important question you should be concentrating on is not one of public policy, but instead to discover why you are so obsessed with male-male sexual behavior.
As a side note please let me assure you that it is Americans such as yourself that really help make the rest of the world think we are a dangerously disturbed society. Living in Germany now I grow tired of trying to explain abberent behavior such as yours to others. In fact I couldn't possibly explain your strange obsession (in your capacity as a public official, no less) with the graphic details of other peoples sexual practices. Can you?
alles gut

*Favorite comments from AMERICABlog:He is my commissioner (Mecklenburg county). He is not from North Carolina, originally. He is a bigot. He is a racist. He is an uber-homophobe. He's fat, and has a diseased liver. He whined when the play "Angels in America" came to Charlotte. He has even been on Sean Hannity's show. I truly despise Bill James.
*...normal straights do NOT obsess on gay sex PERIOD, much less the things he describes, such as noted in the article.
Sorry, he is TOO obsessed. Closet case, for sure.
*Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, there are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.
Why in the world don't we go trollin' for shots of STRAIGHT perversions and send 'em to Bubba?
From this straight chick, I can tell you, Bubba has already provided a good list to start with!
WHY, WHY, WHY, do these sick freaks always focus on male/male sex?? I really think that it is telling where their mind is. Whoever said it above, that 'normal straights' don't focus on the sex acts of homosexuals...you are SO right! I really just don't focus on the sex acts of anyone else -- it is all about ME BABY!
I do think that is really a guy thing though. The whole 'visual'. Girls, we don't need that. I know, some are into porn, but not the vast majority. These freeks that focus so much on sex acts though...they none of them mention anything about girl/girl...hell no, don't want that to go away!
*Query....Who has 11 years of Advocate issues saved away? Answer...someone who keeps them locked up in a footlocker in the garage. When he's out in the garage lubing the old pickup he's lubing something else as well.
*1. There is no sexual act that any gay/lesbian person has attempted, alone or with someone(s) else, that was not perfected by some sick straight prevert first (although the mechanics may be different for homos - please consult your user's manual.
2. I know a lot of people into some pretty kinky sh*t in the gay community, and I am certainly not a prude when it comes to the sexually adventurous, but I have NEVER heard of felching EXCEPT from repressed right-wing morons like this guy.
3. Oh, it goes on and then some. I wonder if Commissioner James drinks his wife's saliva or vaginal secretions? - even worse, consider this: at least 30% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, often before the woman even knows she conceived, and percentage could be as high as 50%. This means that many straight men who perform oral sex (e.g., sodomy) on their wives have likely ingested the remnants of a miscarried embryo or fetus. That seems like a delightful thing to experience.
*This sort of thing is why I think there should be a web site titled "Straight Marriage Hall of Shame."
A site with names and photos and deeds: Susan Smith, Andrea Yates, Mark Hacking, the mother in Philadelphia who killed her seven children, OJ Simpson, etc. The couples who take in foster children for money and starve them (Newark). The California father who set his son on fire in a custody battle.
You could fill volumes with the moral crimes of straight couples.
This would be a good way to hold up a mirror and say "look at yourself."
*boyfriend in Charlotte sho does know lots of stuff and certainly has a very deep abiding interest in gay goins on! Does he wank off when he reads this stuff too? Charlotte is NO hot bed of open minded thinking.
*...He is such a fucking liar! No one even bothered to run against him in the last election. No wonder he got more votes in his (and mine) district than Bush and every other candidate that was running.
Keep on oinkin', Bill.
*Anybody have 3 or 4 gig of scat porn lying around that we could email to this guy? Strictly for research purposes, of course.
*Never thought my corner of the state (the Triad) would seem almost calm and progressive by comparison.
This fucker looks like the guy who flicked me off pulling out of a megachurch last weekend. And he's got Hannity-stink all over him.
*AND an answer from the man himself:The study was from the Advocate in 1994. it was from 2,500 respondents. There are others as well.
I do think it is abhorrent and I do think it is wrong to engage in such behavior.
As how people here view me I have not had a problem. This is my 5 term and my views have been well know for a long time. The last election I got 63% of the vote. In fact, I got more votes in my district than George Bush and every Democrat and Republican candidate running. My views were known at the time they voted.
You are free to check out my web site and see for yourself. Coming from Alabama you (I would think) have your own problems.
As to your own aberrant behavior that is between you, God and your wife. Let's hope none of you get sick.
