Is throwing food at anti-gay Catholic protesters any way to accomplish anything? Not unless you’re making a stew from hatred.
Soda, salsa, mayonnaise, and eggs were among the choice weapons to attack members of something called the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property, which was happily demonstrating their disdain for same-sex marriage on a street in Warwick, Rhode Island, when a merry band of lady opponents (sorry, “pro-homosexual activists“) drove by in their car, saw what TFP was up to, and threw a soda bottle. They returned with some other things from their fridge, including pepper spray, according the cops.
Last night, four women were arrested, charged with things like battery, simple assault, disorderly conduct, and felony assault with a dangerous weapon or substance.
Chronicles the TFP: “Then we were sprayed with mace. Finally, a burly woman got out of a car and punched our photographer in the face. They shouted obscenities the whole time.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
For an idea of what we’re dealing with, here’s the org’s curbside demonstration in Maine, where there is a lot of honking:
These people must be stopped, ahhhh!
D-Sun
Tossing eggs and mayonnaise? That’s simply disgraceful.
Should have let the eggs and mayo rot in the sun for a couple weeks, THEN get to tossing.

I know they are out there, but it doesn’t get any easier to see the people who oppose LGBT equality. It always lights a fire within that I wish I had more outlets for. I know there are ways of getting more active in the community. I just wish it was easier for us to make the changes needed to stop the hate being spread throughout the country.

The red scarves are gorgeous. Can you get them in silk? And with tassles? Those Catholic men are such Fashionistas!!
JT
“Burly woman” = code for lesbian? Even when trying to look like victims they betray their profound bigotry.
Cam
Then again, if the Klan was out protesting, I’m not sure you would here so many voices raised up condeming people that threw garbage at them. I’m not saying it’s appropriate, but I’m saying that people still seem to be making equivilancy judgements on bigotry.
Flex
The christianist slobs deserve it. I hope the burly woman broke the nose of the fascist asshole!
Anton
Why don’t you pretend to be cristians and make outrageous statements on roadside protests. ‘jesus for biggotry’ ‘god says kill’ ‘rape is not a sin’ ‘give your children to a priest’.

Warwick is a funny place. Low class, fundie, lots of Jews and Portugese Cath-o-licks living shoulder to shoulder… but proudly libertarian and yet protective of civil liberties in a weird way too.

TheAmerican Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property! I don’t think that anything could possibly better qualify as a profascist (Neocon)group. This is both economic and social insanity. I think it’s pretty sad that it takes women to get out there and do something to get attention. Until Americans become aware of the perogatives of ‘property’ hegimony and paternalism that overshadows our society like few others, and until they realize that class, gender and sexuality are deeply poisonous perogatives, the U.S is screwed. I shouldn’t have toreiterate what happened durring the last 8 years.
Maybe people in this countruy have gotten so indifferent that it takes death camps or imprisonment to get off their asses and even demonstrate instead of sitting in the corner whinning.
M Shane
p.s what do you think ended the Vienam War: a lot of bloodshed on the streets; mace pepper fog and clubbingh by the National Guard.
When the Iraq war started, 25 million people around the world demonstrated. Virtualy no one here. Any wonder why the world thinks we’re fat and lachrymous?
M Shane
Gay indifference only validates the belief that we’re begginng for assimilation and acceptance, not demanding or place.

Because according to you, you’re a bigot if you are opposed to the KKK, or other hate groups. It’s bigoted to be opposed to bigotry.
TANK
It’s too bad they were caught.
youcanthandlethetruth
@TANK: The point is that bigotry can be a very subjective assessment, although most of us would agree when it comes to the KKK.
TANK
@youcanthandlethetruth:
No, not really. I dont’ think it’s “subjective” so that it’s just about opinion…whatever one wants to be bigotry is bigotry simply because one wants it to be. That renders it meaningless. The term does have meaning, despite what you think. And you’re a bigot.

Its a lot easier to CHANGE peoples minds and start getting them to vote for your equality if you don’t have to spend 20 minutes defending LGBT assaulting other people. But what would you all know. You all only talk to people who agree with you. To HELL with the rest. You all KNOW IT ALL.
What went on at the White House yesterday could never happen with the LGBT community and their enemy. They would be too busy having a fit!

RainaWeather

TANK
@youcanthandlethetruth:
Well, no. I think that the dictionary rules out people who disagree with and are intolerant of klansmen and homophobic christofascists as bigots, since it doesn’t mean or imply that intolerance of bigotr is bigoted.
youcanthandlethetruth
@TANK: You are making a bigoted assessment of what the dictionary says.
It doesn’t mention anything about klansmen, homophobic christofascists or christophobic homofascists.
TANK
@youcanthandlethetruth:
First off, how is that a bigoted assessment of what the dictionary “sez”?
Second, I’m assessing not what the dictionary says, but you say: being that intolerance of bigotry is bigoted.
TANK
Are you saying that someone can be bigoted toward the dictionary? Are you bigoted toward formal education and routine dental exams/cleanings?
youcanthandlethetruth
@TANK: I’m saying that you are placing your own subjective interpretation over the Oxford Dictionary definition of the word “bigot”.
By unilaterally declaring what constitutes bigotry, you are trying to rationalise your own intolerance of what you say are bigots, and hence justify your own bigotry.
TANK
@youcanthandlethetruth:
Um, no. Nothing I’ve said is inconsistent with the dictionary definition of ‘bigot’, bigot. It’s not up to me what constitutes bigotry. IT has a meaning and a reference (it refers to you).
youcanthandlethetruth
@TANK: It also refers to you if you are intolerant of the opinions of others, which clearly you are.
SM
@youcanthandlethetruth:
Americans opinion about marriage equality is changing and its not in your favor. How fast LGBT people work people over to their side by educating them on their issues instead of automatically hating them is their choice.
Cool little graphie~

TANK
@youcanthandlethetruth:
No, it doesn’t say that just because one is intolerant of the opinions of others (kkk members, etc) they are therefore bigoted. It says prejudiced AND intolerant of the opinions of others. I think a broader definition from another dictionary might come in handy here. You haven’t even provided the full definition.
youcanthandlethetruth
@SM: All evidence to the contrary.
Americans vote against homosexual marriage every chance they have ever had.
30 states have amended their constitutions to protect against homosexual marriage and 4 more vote in November.
Many other states have adopted DOMA protection.
Your “education” doesn’t seem to be working
ifonlyHillary waspresident
SM- Gays do not need to educate bigots, our country has something called the Constitution which right wing hacks have perverted preventing gays from having equal rights.
Youcanthandlethetruth- You are a bigot, the only reason you can post your bull**it here is because your hatred has not been banned yet in America. You probably make the same comments to the blacks, asians, jews, and whoever else does not fit into your white male bigoted christian world.
SM
@youcanthandlethetruth:
Don’t worry. I’m not trying to educate you. Its the moderates and independent voters whackos like you turn off and that’s how you win. Forget the fringe.
You can insult me all you want. My own neighbors can vouch for the fact I have changed their minds on Proposition 8.
edgyguy1426
@Cam: well I think a lot of things but I don’t think SM is homophobic, just a little blinded when it comes to many of our perceptions on how the Obama Administration is being so vague in its strategy when it comes to our civil rights. So far instead of the Fierce Advocate approach, he’s taking more of the Do-It-Yourself approach, which in the end probably works better- it will save with all the ‘feet washing’ we’ll have to do later on.
SM
@edgyguy1426:
Give me a Break. There are MILLIONS of LGBT people in the United States and the No On Prop 8 rallies in California I went to had 15 people and the girl holding the biggest sign was not even old enough to vote. There were stacks of signs on the ground because no one was there to hold them up.
There are many things I think about the LGBT community throwing low class insults when they can never call out their community for never stepping up for something that is supposed to be important like CIVIL RIGHTS IN THE UNITED STATES!

Wait a minute…aren’t these the people trying to take away MORE rights from us and if they had their choice, ship us off to lobotomy island where we could be “reeducated”?

No tolerance here. You tolerate a loud baby or someone stupid. Tolerance can kiss my grits.

@DeAnimator:
LOL
youcanthandlethetruth
@DeAnimator: Thanks for confirming what I keep saying – that homosexuals demand tolerance from others but are utterly intolerant themselves.
The smarter ones among you may make the connection to why mainstream America rejects your demands for the redefinition of marriage.
DeAnimator
@youcanthandlethetruth: You’re welcome. 🙂
But, you should learn to READ. I don’t want tolerance. None of us do. I know there are some programs like Hooked On Phonics you could look into.
Good luck!
P.S. No such thing as redefinition of marriage. Marriage is between two people. End of story. As long as those people have freedom of choice (so no kids and animals) and aren’t related (incest is bad, m’kay?) is doesn’t matter.
DeAnimator
it doesn’t matter*
Damn, YCHTT, you’re ignorance is rubbing off on me in the form of a typo!
Also, DOMA was a REDEFINITION of marriage by jackasses like you. Queer people are asking for it to be UNredefined.
Sebastien
Wow, that was a really pathetic way to show dissaproval towards the anti gay marriage group. As Americans, they have a right to protest and having eggs etc thrown at them is disgraceful as gays are not egged at a gay pride parade ( not trying to make it sound like gay people aren’t assulted when protesting but you know what I mean).
If gay people want others to be tolerant , then we should lead by example to let others express their views and concerns ( no matter how different we find them from ours).
vernonvanderbilt
Instead of flying food it probably should have been flying bullets, no? I kid, I kid…possibly.
@youcanthandlethetruth: Listen carefully, ma’am, because this might be hard for you to understand.
Homophobic bigots bring harm and hardship to the GLBT community with their words and, especially, their actions, thereby devaluing our lives. GLBT individuals who work to counteract these bigoted attacks against us are in no way affecting the quality of life of homophobic bigots like yourself. Bigotry seeks to tear others down for childish and superficial reasons. To speak out against bigotry, particularly in self-defense, is to be a rational, fair-minded adult.
Equality for GLBT people has absolutely no negative effects on non-GLBT individuals. Crazy, huh? So, you people create the problems, we point out this fact. You’re subhuman bigots, and we’re human beings who are interested in being treated like human beings.
You haven’t a leg to stand on, Charlene. Time to pack it in.
And no, I will not be addressing you anymore.
Possibly. Maybe. Probably.

LGBT are promoting violence in this very thread. Like it or not, people have freedom of speech in this country. Hate Crime laws should swing both ways

@SM:
With each new post you make, you sound more and more like YCHTT.
No doubt, you probably feel that the death of 3 young gay people and the injury of 11 more in Israel was just a “public disturbance” that we should not get our feathers all ruffled up about either.
After all, no matter what, even when we are being slaughtered like cattle around the globe, we must “always” remain respectful and know our place.
Oh yes. I almost forgot.
And we mustn’t be intolerant either.

People like DuttyBarb and youcanttakethetruth, who are admittedly straight and guests on a gay site, get to spout all the hateful, bigoted free speech they want, on our gay site and under the guise of free speech.
But if we for whom this site was created, dare to protest or defend ourselves, then we are told that we are the ones being hateful, bigoted and intolerant. It’s getting a little old, Queerty.
Why is Queerty allowing str8, right wing religious nuts to make verbal attacks on the LGBT community and systematically take over a site that was supposedly created as a safe haven for us to come to exchange ideas and dialogue?
