(45,319 posts)All that takes is a shred of reason. You speak here of your love of science and of reason. Yet putting 2 and 2 together to reach 4 somehow required 'research'? What does science say of those who reach uninformed conclusions and promulgate them with great passion? You did not just 'have' your ignorance, you spread it around. And one does wonder why.
The estimates range from 6 to 14 million- the number of children with a gay parent. The ignorance you promulgated was an attack on those millions of children as well. You slandered them, you berated their families. And you claim you did such a thing out of sheer laziness coupled with a driving desire to write about subjects you are ignorant of? Why would any adult launch an attack on children and their parents so casually?
Did it cross your beautiful mind to DO some 'research' prior to pontification in such utterly bigoted ways? Why were you so ignorant, so late in your own life and so late on the timeline of progress?
Let's take a look at what was going on during that time, when you were making a display of your world class ignorance on websites across the right wing. What was the right wing doing at that time? This:
From November 3, 1992, to September 30, 1993, at least 132 attempts to
restrict the rights of gay men and lesbians occurred in 41 states and the
District of Columbia. This activity included statewide ballot initiatives,
legislative battles, state court decisions, local ordinance, curriculum
controversies, and attempts at censorship.
So your ignorant propaganda had much company, much audience, the right was roiling and spitting nails. Without all the information, laid out clearly, it sure as hell looks like you were attempting to drive that energy, spread more hate and lies. I mean, MM, when you were typing lies against gay people, slurs toward other minorities and criticizing John Kerry, I was in tiny offices in Oregon, campaigning for Kerry and also against hateful and ignorant legislation against gay people. So you were on the opposite side. 2004. You at a desk typing hate speech, me at another desk calling Republicans and trying to talk through all the ignorance they were fed on their own side. By the likes of you. That's the context here.
Then you come to DU and claim to have shown full unflagging support for equality 'for decades' AND when questioned on that, you lied and berated all who were suspect of what is now proven to be a line of bullshit. Decades? Unflagging? What kind of a person first writes hate speech, then changes his mind and instantly creates a false back story of 'decades of support'? What sort of a person then insists on preaching as an authority to the same minority he'd spent years attacking in public?
So many of your words on DU have been shown to be utterly untrue. So you produce more words. Face it, your best defense is that you were seriously ignorant and believing the most hate filled lies against gay people in 2004- the year MA made marriage equality a reality!!! That is not just ignorant, that is out of touch with the times, fingers in the ears refusal to accept the facts.
