Glad I finally am reading your blog. This bigotry thing is quite a phenomena. One that is practiced exclusively,I think, by the willfully ignorant. Who are they? Well, my experience suggests that they are those who result from poor planning (planned parenthood). Willfully ignorant humans do not know, know that they do not know, and do not wish to ever know. Unfortunately, they do have power in this country. Look what happened. They managed to elect G.Bush twice. Hope to see you soon. Hi Sheria:

I learned back in the last century NEVER to read news off AOL. It doesn't even have to be a gay or race-related article to stand my hair on end, it doesn't matter what it's about, a significant plurality of the commenters seem committed to saying the same thing over and over in a million different ways: "I HATE MYSELF SO MUCH THAT I ONLY FEEL BETTER BY SAYING HATEFUL THINGS. I FEEL SO INFERIOR I MUST ACT SUPERIOR TO SOMETHING. AND I CRAVE ATTENTION SO I MUST FIND THE MOST PROVOCATIVE, ATTENTION-GETTING THING TO SAY." And what are you doing with these sad, lost, losers? Having exactly the reaction they want you to have, one that makes them feel as important as when they hit the teacher with a spitball because it's the only way they know how to take vengeance on the Dad who beats the crap out of them any night. You wouldn't watch Jerry Springer, so stop reading the AOL commenters. Those who spew hate are miserable, terribly unhappy people. They are there own punishment.
