“Infestations” occur when a small minority doses out of proportionate damage to everything around it. Such as happily infesting each other with AIDS. Which is cool. Shortens any “long-term” problems associated with “long-term gayness”.

Then again, I am extremely ecstatic they haven’t figured out how to breed and make more. Wait! They won’t, they are GAY!
Woohoo! Do whatever you want kids, your segment will shortly….”disappear”. I guess breeding IS natural after all, huh?

Wait….I guess I AM ok with Gays! Hahaha!

Au Contraire, Monsieur. You post was a gem.

You have taken the art of “tongue in cheek” to yet a new level. lol

You “read” her beads deftly.

Guilty as charged.

This is the offending phrase that I “borrowed” (lifted sounds oh so premeditated and criminal) from your commentary.

“What part of heaven or which state is this monster going to, eh Nancy?”

All other words in my letter to Ms Roberson were of my own compilation as you will note.

I mistakenly believed that I was paying you high honor, by borrowing your words. Obviously, I was wrong.

plagiarism

Literary theft. Plagiarism occurs when a writer duplicates another writer’s language or ideas and then calls the work his or her own. Copyright laws protect writers’ words as their legal property. To avoid the charge of plagiarism, writers take care to credit those from whom they borrow and quote.

Fortunately the letter I wrote to Ms Robertson has not yet been posted. I hasten to assure you, Mr. Topblknavy, author of the words I borrowed without your written permission, have been deleted from the letter to Ms. Robertson.

I also hereby acknowledge that your words, printed in this Queerty thread, should have been in quotation marks, with proper credit given to you as the author of them.

I proffer my sincerest apologies for any inconvenience or distress this may have caused you and trust that you will not deem it necessary to contact your legal people to commence a suit for literary theft. ;-)

I feel logically obligated to express my opinion and explore the idea that as a pretty decent size area in North Carolina, these homosexuals have probably been there longer than you and that as the transplant, you are the “infestation” that is plaguing such a beautiful city. Using the term “general population” in an exclusive way is almost as disgusting to read. I’m sure the gays there use their own water fountains. Maybe Jackson, Miss. is calling you back?

I recall someone else in the history books having a “solution” that we just stick all of the people we don’t like in a camp… Did I say camp? I meant state… per your idea. That turned out quite well. We should get to work on that right away. They didn’t didn’t have flashy names like Sodam or Gomorrah but I guess Auschwitz just really rolled off the tounge well in those days.

I speak as a gay person who believes God’s “real” plan for the human race is for everyone to treat everyone as they wanted to be treated. I believe one of your fellows made a rule of that.

If you read your Bible a little more carefully Nancy, you would know why he created both male and females. He did so so your father could barter/sell you into slavery. Exodus 21:7

Morally yours as well,

Dear Ms. Robertson,

In the Letters to the Editor section of the Asheville Citizen – Times you recently wrote that;

“I feel morally obligated to express my opinion. I am a transplant from Jackson, Miss., who is astounded by how many homosexuals have ‘infested’ this beautiful city. I just don’t know what the general population should do. Perhaps the solution would be to set aside a specific state of the union for them to inhabit – perhaps we should set up a new name for Connecticut and call it ‘Sodom’ or ‘Gomorrah.’”

Well, Nancy dear, I too feel morally obligated to express my opinion. I am a transplant from New York City who is astounded by how many bigoted and hateful, heterosexual homophobes like you have ‘infested’ this beautiful state. I just don’t know what the homosexual population should do. Perhaps the solution would be to set aside a specific state of the union for you to inhabit with like-minded people. Oh wait, I know just the place. It’s called Svalbard and it’s in the middle of the Artic Ocean…far enough away from everything so no one would have to be subject to or have to listen to your self-righteous homophobic rants.

Dictionary.com defines ‘infested’ in the following manner:

.v. in·fest·ed, in·fest·ing, in·fests

1. To inhabit or overrun in numbers or quantities large enough to be harmful, threatening, or obnoxious: rats infesting the sewers; streets that were infested with drugs.
2. To live as a parasite in or on: livestock that were infested with tapeworms.

Since LGBT people are not harming your children or killing them as the homophobic, hetero fag-bashers are, personally threatening you in any way, manner or form, being obnoxious on your front lawn, infesting your sewers or doing drugs on your front porch, and we are not living as parasites in your hair, on your body or invading your intestinal tract, I would say that the word ‘infesting’ is quite an over reach on your behalf.

It wouldn’t have surprised me in the least to hear you make some statement to the effect of employing some system for the ‘eradication’ of the ‘infestation’. ‘Banishing’ us to a special state with a name of it’s own came pretty close to it, however. There were people in Hitler’s 1935 Germany who felt much the same as you do when he wrote Paragraph 175 in the Third Reich Constitution. The ‘Final Solution’ followed closely behind.

And since homosexuals are definitely a minority, something like 7.5% of the total population of the U.S., they fail to meet the definition of an ‘infestation’ which is suggestive of numbers far in excess of morally, straight-laced bigots like you, many as you are. So, you are really being an overdramatic ‘drama queen’ when you employ such denigrating and dehumanizing terms to describe your fellow human beings.

And while we are on the topic of your ‘morality’, might I suggest that you take a little time out from your poison pen letters to also read your local newspaper now and then. Had you done so, you would have been aware of the article about a fine upstanding heterosexual member of the community, school teacher no less, going to jail, maybe for life, for soliciting sex from an 11 year old girl.

What part of heaven or which state is this monster going to, eh Nancy?

I second Christina. Great letter.

1. To inhabit or overrun in numbers or quantities large enough to be harmful, threatening, or obnoxious: rats infesting the sewers; streets that were infested with drugs.

2. To live as a parasite in or on: livestock that were infested with tapeworms.

Nice. Rick Warren compares us to practitioners of incest, pedophiles and people who engage in beastiality.

Not this stupid cunt compares us to rats, drug dealers, parasites and tapeworms.

People who can conjure up these kind of images, must have terrible nightmares as night.

With a Slew of Gays, and a Plethora of Humpy ,Ethnic ‘Str8′ men workin the Downlow, RI would be the Jewel of Gayland!

Fingers Crossed!

This is in response to the editorial by Nancy Robertson entitled: “Sees gay lifestyle as contradictory to Christianity” published January 04, 2008. As a gay man who was raised in Western North Carolina, I feel morally obligated to express my opinion.

It says a lot about Ms. Robertson that she would label herself a transplant (from “ever-tolerant” Jackson, Mississippi no less) only to find that she doesn’t care for the residents, and then have the blatant audacity to suggest that THEY should be the ones to relocate to another state.

It says even more about this person when she states: “I guess what these people think is that I should not be disgusted when I see them walking down the street holding hands and kissing in public.” (Well, now you know how we gays feel when we are subjected to the same behavior incessantly and on a daily basis.)I hope that she’ll be as quick to suggest the appropiate state where we may ship all of these heterosexuals off to. We will then name this state “Hooters”.

She continues: “Do they think we can’t help but think about what they do in private when we see them going as far as they can in public?” Pardon me? As a gay man, when I see a straight couple entangled in an awkward game of tonsil hockey, the last thing my mind does is imagine the two of them full-coitus. If Ms. Robertson sees two homosexuals kissing and her mind goes immediately to these two people having sex, then she is either coveting their sex lives or unable to restrain a filthy imagination. Either way, I will be praying for her. The Bible speaks often of such impure thoughts as hers, and the wages of such sin is death, after all.

But it says most about Ms. Robertson that she would classify herself as some sort of expert on God’s “natural” plan for the human race. Being that she hails from Jackson, Mississippi, she may recall that it wasn’t too long ago that her brothers and sisters of color were being lynched, hanged and murdered because people not unlike herself insisted that they were prophetic enough to know what GOD did and did not want.

No, my suggestion to Ms. Robertson is that if she doesn’t care for the city that she moved into, she is always more than welcome to return to Jackson.

“Nancy” (LOL), you don’t belong in Asheville. You’re nothing but another haughty outsider and foul-smelling lowlander.

Put this kind of mentally ill person in a room with a gay person and a bible, and she’ll beat them with it. Know thy enemy if they’re allowed to run amok with their illness.

Or we could take those like her and ship them off to one state.
