His hate preaching was bad enough, now comes the "but we should be nice" bullshit. FUCK HIM! Unlike the vast majority of this board, I have actually met the man. I stood TOE TO TOE with him. He was a vile, heartless, soulless individual, and I'll be damned if I am told how I should "mourn" is passing! I have seen his minions at various events, and even had a friend's funeral disrupted by his hat-mongers; so, no, I will not be silent, I will not "wish his soul well," I will not pretend I don't have contempt for this POS. He is dead, but his legacy lives on. I will "mourn" him by continuing to fight against this evil ilk and those who are like them, but I will not be "tut-tuted" and told how I should or shouldn't acknowledge his death, and I will not be told my brand of "mourning" makes me less of a gay man!

FUCK HIM! FUCK HIS LEGACY!
