[MLM Survivors Club] Re: Anti-Gay Slurs

Jim, for someone who is complaining (and rightly so in my humble
opinion) about someone spewing offensive bigoted anti-gay rehtoric
you might be mindful that you are being bigoted as well. You
mentioned a couple of times that this reprehensible behaviour
is "right wing" thinking. I am pro-gay rights/marriage and consider
myself more or less a conservative in my political beliefs. I know
many other "right wing" thinkers who are also pro-gay as well as many
self professed liberals who are anti-gay. Lets be careful who we
paint with large brushes shall we?
