On
a discussion board that I frequent, we were discussing the Deliverance wannabes who put together
http://www.werenotsorry.com/ (see
this diary for html code that could drive up their bandwidth costs).
One of the folks there, kurt_t made the following comment:
OK, I've looked at all nine pages, and, well, all I can say is no more mister nice guy. No. The gloves are off. I'm going to hunt these people down and convert their children to homosexuality.
After I cleaned off my screen (I spewed all over it), I began to think. Isn't this what the bigoted right wing actually thinks?
The joke is funny because it's absurd. It has no relation to reality at all.
But these folks live in this world, where there are hoards of roving men, all with impeccable fashion sense, who spend their time "converting" innocent, but confused, young men.
They right wing seems to think that gay sex is somehow akin to vampirism.
This is beyond whack. It's in-bloody-sane.
How do you deal with such people?
