What motivated you to offer that Stevens might be gay? Vinnie From Indy Sep 2012 #2

I explained in the linked thread which you clearly didn't bother to read. dsc Sep 2012 #3

I did read it Vinnie From Indy Sep 2012 #6

Who cares? The man is dead. n/t RebelOne Sep 2012 #13

WTF, man? AverageJoe90 Sep 2012 #108

it was about understanding that if gay, it's a significant piece of who he was and is and shall be Voice for Peace Sep 2012 #55

A reasonable response. Still is it wrong to "out" someone else? Tigress DEM Sep 2012 #117

I don't think it's ever right to out another person Voice for Peace Sep 2012 #120

Banning? RobertEarl Sep 2012 #24

You're new so I assume that while you appear to be wanting to pick a fight... joeybee12 Sep 2012 #27

dsc... I am touched by your story you related. But, I can well imagine why some reacted poorly to hlthe2b Sep 2012 #11

indeed ibegurpard Sep 2012 #23

I don't think so...the OP started out innocently enough... joeybee12 Sep 2012 #25

Really? You really believe that people would get this freaked out if dsc did research into Zorra Sep 2012 #32

Did you even read dsc's post? He wasn't crying for himself but for a 20 year old who is in a coma. yardwork Sep 2012 #45

Rat out? tavalon Sep 2012 #100

You are quite right.... dtom67 Sep 2012 #10

You know what bothers me? I have no problems letting people live their own lives. After all southernyankeebelle Sep 2012 #15

But you're opposed to breastfeeding in public, MineralMan Sep 2012 #21

I don't have a problem with that at all. But if I were hiring a person that isn't the first or even southernyankeebelle Sep 2012 #46

Covering up. Yes. MineralMan Sep 2012 #47

What are you talking about???? southernyankeebelle Sep 2012 #92

I find it disturbing that christians spend their time in the old testament me b zola Sep 2012 #22

I was going to post something similar! King David? WTH?! WinkyDink Sep 2012 #63

you weren't accused of defaming him ibegurpard Sep 2012 #26

dsc is gay. He is an openly gay man. Please consider deleting your post. yardwork Sep 2012 #44

What does that have to do with anything? naaman fletcher Sep 2012 #54

yeah so am I ibegurpard Sep 2012 #74

the criticism I believe was due to the delivery, I don't think anyone here cares whether he was gay Demonaut Sep 2012 #28

The Church is obsessed with the notion that "Gay" = "Wickedness",... Spitfire of ATJ Sep 2012 #34

Ah. King David. panzerfaust Sep 2012 #36

I am certainly not saying that David is an avatar of good behavior dsc Sep 2012 #40

I think as long as you are honest with the people who you love then promiscuity is fine dsc Sep 2012 #79

This makes the "two-timing" comment make sense. It's OK as long as everybody agrees cr8tvlde Sep 2012 #85

You keep bringing this up itsrobert Sep 2012 #38

As a gay person, I care if the ambassador was gay. yardwork Sep 2012 #43

It's OK it matters to you. You ask for respect for a POV...agreed. cr8tvlde Sep 2012 #50

The way I read it, something very disturbing happened today and put the other thread in perspective. yardwork Sep 2012 #57

This is pure speculation naaman fletcher Sep 2012 #56

No, it's the bigoted homophobic world that uses people's private lives for their own agendas. yardwork Sep 2012 #59

like dsc? naaman fletcher Sep 2012 #61

I suggest that you reread the OP. dsc didn't discuss anything in church. He heard a horrific story. yardwork Sep 2012 #89

What did I miss? naaman fletcher Sep 2012 #94

I suggest you find the newest thread that thinks it's natural to ask someone cr8tvlde Sep 2012 #66

since you think being gay is the same as being a two timer dsc Sep 2012 #80

OK. This is fascinating, so I'll bite since two-timing is similar to a hissy fit cr8tvlde Sep 2012 #84

You are a real piece of work naaman fletcher Sep 2012 #95

Since posting that somebody is being a dick doesn't get a post hidden... MercutioATC Sep 2012 #101

I am OUTRAGED that some members want to stifle the OP's freedom of speech!! renie408 Sep 2012 #64

In case you're wondering, DU isn't the government. Nor is any DU'er rioting. WinkyDink Sep 2012 #68

So, you are saying the DUers believe one thing publicly renie408 Sep 2012 #73

freedom of speech does not equate with freedom to not be challenged on your opinion ibegurpard Sep 2012 #78

DSC has specifically been told more than once to cease this line of speculation. renie408 Sep 2012 #82

telling someone "don't state that opinion" ibegurpard Sep 2012 #83
