256. "The gay community" aren't the only one's upset...
There are members w/out rainbows in their avatars that are pissed, too. It's not "us vs. them." These are members of our community. Members that donate money to keep our board running efficiently, who support friends, and vote Democratic/progressive. But at the slightest provocation they are reduced to merely "the gay community." A nameless, faceless group who's opinions and feelings don't seem to matter. I'm sorry I don't understand that.

I'm upset to see so many people being vulgar and cruel to other human beings. People that have said over and over that these comments are hurtful, insensitive and nasty--yet no one is paying attention. Instead of honoring their feelings, they've been dismissed, argued with and told that their "definition of bigotry" doesn't count.

:wtf:

It's beyond disgusting.
