Think what you read in Queertyâs comments is interesting? After long last installing filters in our threads to weed out hate speech, weâve concluded that perhaps our email deserves a similar flagging system. Hereâs just a sampling of what itâs like to be a Queerty editorâs inbox:
Presented verbatim:
Why canât you accept that gay marriage is not wanted by the majority of Americans? You try to force us to accept your filthy , sinful abomination and then when we donât you donât accept it peacefully. Insteadc you go around commiting hate crimes and beating up old people. Now the world sees what you really are and that Revelations is correct when it says that homosexuals will burn in hell. gays are not included in the Constitution so you have no rights other than those that a man or woman may have or a married couple meaning One Man and One Woman. People who tell the truth and admit that they chose the gay lifestyle say they did so because they had a messed up childhood. Now with all the violence that you are commiting we know for a fact that God never commited gays and that you are simply obeying the wishes of the devil. Admit that you were not born gay and that you chose your sinful lifestyle. Admit it and repent. If you can break away from the devil and do that then maybe you will be forgiven and you wonât be banished to hell. You have already lost and you will continue to lose because the gay lifestyle is not about love. Instead it is about perverted sex. Yes I am a Christian and I thank God that you will continue to lose.

The devil did make me do it! That devil, Jake, when we were juniors in High School. He was so sweet and so, “I love you and we’ll be together forever!” Our song was “Cherish” by Madonna and we used to change the words to “Romeo and Romeo” instead of “Romeo and Juliet.” Then he ran away from home and moved in with some older guy.
Yes, Jake was my devil. Him and his big hard cock led me down the road of the damned!

You know, he’s completely right, I’m giving up the cock and going straight. After a well reasoned argument like the one he presented what choice to I have as a rational human being?
Honestly, is that the kind of response he is expecting?

I agree with Jon.
Post his darksided christian name, I’d like to have him over for some darjeeling. I think we’d get along like a house on fire.
And I also enjoy how he’s quoting revelations(!?)
The book of Revelations talks about the four pretty ponies of the apocalypse, the sun getting eaten up, rapture and other equally esoteric phantasmagoric idiocy, that only bolsters his already strong argument against gays.
You would think these tardtastics would just default to Leviticus after all they do it so often. (And thanks for clearing up that you are a christian. A darksided one. But a christian nonetheless.)
Just as an aside, the bible also mentions unicorns. Further proof.

@concretepinata: Yes, well, the Book of Revelation (singular) also states that “whomsoever addeth unto this book” and “whomsoever taketh away from this book” shall basically burn in hell, yet now the “Christians” who so often act in completely unchristlike ways are cozying up to the Mormons, who added a whole ‘nother damned book!
Besides which, are these boring, retarded pricks going to be in heaven? Frankly they make the option of heaven less attractive every time they speak.
Rev. Jim Cunningham
Yup, that about sums up the type of hate mail and hate posts we get over at GayChristianSurvivors.com too. Being a conservative fundamentalist Protestant Bible-believing born-again OPENLY GAY Christian minister gets me hate mail from ALL sides. So my simpathies! I get just as much hate mail from the gay community as I do from the straight community. Seems everyone wants everyone to coexist – so long as coexisting means abandoning our reason and adopting their way of thinking. But I have to admit, I’ve never been accused of violence and beating up old people until now! LOL! So is THAT what the Gay Agenda is? I’ve always wanted to know.

@Paul Raposo:
Two things: I said it doesn’t convey it “as easily”, meaning that one can (as evidenced by Jimmy knowing how I meant it without my clarification) detect a person’s tone by context, punctuation, etc.
Secondly, you were suggesting in our prior conversation that written air quotes are not something commonly used + easily understood or at the least that they “stink”. Which was wrong, because if I typed (for example):
Jake Gyllenhaal is my “boyfriend”. And by “boyfriend”, I mean guy that I like to stalk…
There isn’t a soul here who wouldn’t understand those “air quotes” around boyfriend to mean that I was being facetious, sarcastic, etc., the same as when a person uses air quotes as a gesture in face-to-face conversations.
In short, I wins, you fails.

And what I wrote in comment No. 70 during our last fallout was:
Obviously it doesn’t work. Air quotes are fine because they are visualââŹâjust as most sarcasm doesn’t translate well online, because it is written and not spoken.

The point being made here is, they do work. Air quotes, their written counterpart or otherwise, are commonly used + easily understood by anyone with half a brain. Present company not excluded, I hope. That Jake G. example was a good show of how “written air quotes” are often used. In fact, “air quotes” are just a physical manifestation of the way written quotes have already been used for years.
“you just need Big Daddy…”

I assure you, “shitweasles” won’t be allowed in the Kingdom of Heaven. But seriously, as a Christian it is so sad to see the very people who should be demonstrating the grace of God act instead like the Pharisees that Jesus chastized, to whom He clearly said, “The publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.” I never judge God by the actions of people. When people say, “God made Adam & Eve, not Adam & Steve”, look them lovingly in the eye and say, “God made Eve for ADAM, and Steve for me.” – Rev. Jim Cunningham, GayChristianSurvivors.com

You think I’m wrong, but you know I’m oh, so right.
And, Paulie Walnuts–seriously? I could understand if I was Italian, but–really? Don’t make me regret calling you witty.
The point being made here is, they do work.
The point here, is that like sarcasm, air quotes don’t translate well in the written form. You posted a follow up to comment No. 17, in comment No. 19:
That was said in the sassy, hands-on-my-hips fashion, as opposed to “OhââŹÂŚwhat are you doing here?”
Clearly you realized that things that are better conveyed in the physical–air quotes, sarcasm and the like, do not translate well into written form. You understood this enough to also write in comment No. 19:
I hate how the written word doesn’t convey the same meaning/tone as easily as face-to-face convo with all the hand gestures, vocal inflections, + what not.
Clearly you learned something from our last encounter and I’m glad I was able to educate you.

Dude. Are you serious? You didn’t “educate” me on anything in our last conversation, other than that you are skilled at spinning things in your favor. You must work in advertising…or politics. Both?
I have never argued that sarcasm, in general, isn’t sometimes more difficult to read in written instances than in physical conversations. Before or after our prior convo. Which is why I (quite obviously) only focused on that point which we did disagree on, the “written air quotes obviously not working” point. We can go on + on about this, but the bottom-line is that you are wrong. Air quotes + their written counterpart do work. Pretty consistently. Had I typed something to ChicagoJimmy, for instance, that used “written air quotes”, I would not have felt the need to clarify my meaning, as they are fairly obvious in meaning.
Ask anyone here, for starters, if they know what I mean when I say that your “boyfriend” being put in quotes likely means that I’m being sarcastic + that the guy in question is probably not your bf at all.
Btw, Paulie Walnuts wasn’t an ethnicity-based comment. Paulie because of your first name. Walnuts because you seem a little (only a little?) nutty.
Also, my mind told my hands to type “Ew”. As well as my stomach.

Fuck off. Basically, it’s Part 2 of an argument we had a little while ago.
Paul Raposo
Dude. Are you serious?,/i>
Always.
You didn’t “educate” me on anything in our last conversation…
I beg to differ. I pointed out that using something that presents better in the physical was a poor choice for the written. Clearly, judging from comment No. 19, you have realized your error and are willing to see things my way–the right way.
I have never argued that sarcasm, in general, isn’t sometimes more difficult to read in written instances than in physical conversations. Before or after our prior convo.
That’s correct. You wrote in comment No. 19:
I hate how the written word doesn’t convey the same meaning/tone as easily as face-to-face convo with all the hand gestures, vocal inflections, + what not.
Since you argued contrary to this during our last scene and have now changed your position, I clearly had an effect on your thinking. You’re welcome.
Which is why I (quite obviously) only focused on that point which we did disagree on, the “written air quotes obviously not working” point.
My point was, as evidenced by what I wrote in comment No. 70:
…Air quotes are fine because they are visualââŹâjust as most sarcasm doesn’t translate well online, because it is written and not spoken.
And you continued on my point by stating that, as quoted above, you hate how what is traditionally presented well in the physical does not translate well into th written.
We can go on + on about this, but the bottom-line is that you are wrong. Air quotes + their written counterpart do work.
Nope. And you need only read your words to see that. Air quotes are physical by their name–how do you think the phrase “air quotes” came about? Do you honestly think someone read a sentence with quotes and thought,
“Oh my! He must have curled his fingers around that word when he wrote that.”
Nope. People only do that–that physical movement–with their hands during a conversation. And as you pointed out in comment No. 19, the physical does not translate well into the written,
Pretty consistently.
And you are unanimous in your opinion.
Had I typed something to ChicagoJimmy, for instance, that used “written air quotes”, I would not have felt the need to clarify my meaning, as they are fairly obvious in meaning.
What you did, was remark in comment No. 19 that you were concerned that your comment–minus the traditionally physical movements that your comment would have been accompanied by–did not translate well into your written comment and might offend CJ.
Ask anyone here, for starters, if they know what I mean when I say that your “boyfriend” being put in quotes likely means that I’m being sarcastic + that the guy in question is probably not your bf at all.
But the comment about Jake Whathisname being your BF was not what you wrote, Fredo. You wrote a comment that you alter felt might be misinterpreted by it’s reader, so you clarified and pointed out that without the physicality, your comment mightn’t be understood. During our previous knock down and drag out you refused to heed my words, but obviously it sank in and you’ve come around to my way of thinking.
Btw, Paulie Walnuts wasn’t an ethnicity-based comment. Paulie because of your first name. Walnuts because you seem a little (only a little?) nutty.
Oh, I understand it was most likely not based on any ethnicity. But Paulie Walnuts is a character on, The Sopranos and I figured that’s where you were going. I just didn’t find it particularly clever.
Also, my mind told my hands to type “Ew”. As well as my stomach.
Oh, you!
I’m sure your pants were dancing on their own, though.
fredo777
@Paul Raposo:
haha
You are so full of shit, Joe the Plumber might actually earn a quarter-mill trying to sort you out.
Red herrings aside, the key point that I made (which you seem to want to distract from) is that air quotes are a physical representation of the quotes people put around words to convey sarcasm (like “boyfriend” in the provided Jake G. example) even before air quotes became popular + that they clearly work in the reverse, as well.
About 90% (give or take a few percent) of what you just wrote was out on the skinny end of the branch, as they say. If you want to argue for/against things that I didn’t actually do (or just flat-out lie), be my guest, but I’m not going to continue this conversation if you insist on this smoke-and-mirrors “spin doctor” magic act.
Oh, noes! There go those quotes again. Now I wonder if that means I’m directly quoting something one of us said during our conversation or if it means that I’m facetiously referring to you as some sort of doctor. Hmmm…
Our prior convo has nothing to do with why I mentioned the sometimes difficult translation of sarcasm into written word. You didn’t “school” me. Let it go.
“I just didn’t find it particularly clever.”
Don’t give a shit.
“I’m sure your pants were dancing on their own, though.”

…the key point that I made..is that air quotes are a physical representation of the quotes people put around words to convey sarcasm…even before air quotes became popular + that they clearly work in the reverse, as well.
What it comes down to, is you made a comment to CJ and then later explained that your comment was not bitchy and gave the correct assertion that without the physicality associated with the comment, it mightn’t translate well into the written.
As I pointed out during our last row, the physical needs to accompany certain comments for them to be understood–such as sarcasm, or air quotes.
If you want to argue for/against things that I didn’t actually do (or just flat-out lie), be my guest, but I’m not going to continue this conversation if you insist on this smoke-and-mirrors “spin doctor” magic act.
I’m sure you’ll come around–again! It took some time for you to accept my points that air quotes don’t translate well into written form and you’ll come around and see I’m right again.
Oh, noes! There go those quotes again. Now I wonder if that means I’m directly quoting something one of us said during our conversation or if it means that I’m facetiously referring to you as some sort of doctor. HmmmââŹÂŚ
Oh, Piggy!
Our prior convo has nothing to do with why I mentioned the sometimes difficult translation of sarcasm into written word. You didn’t “school” me. Let it go.

But seriously folks, I grew up in a conservative christian household and spent a good portion of my dear, straight (oops) years in the service of god. I didn’t identify as gay in my youth because gays were those sissy people that protested in the 80s and 90s for AIDS and human rights (almost like now except less on the AIDS). I knew I liked guys, the form, the strength, the dick, but I didn’t know at the time that meant to be “gay.” I pleaded with god many times to “cure” me because I was always told liking other men was wrong. I even had constant prayer support. But I was never cured, never healed from what I thought was the worst thing to be in the world. Now I have broken from that hell, left the church, found myself and my self respect. Found a great husband, have 2 kids, and have become quite contented with my life. I didn’t need to be “healed” or “cured.” I needed to be free from the backstabbing hipocrasy that fills the church and its double standard on everything. God lives inside me, not a building.

What I said was that air quotes + written quotes to the same sarcastic effect are not a rarity + that they are effective in conveying a message of sarcasm. They are. I have not accepted + will not “accept (your) points that air quotes don’t translate well into written form”, since they obviously do.
You are dwelling on something that I said to CJ, not to you, about sarcasm (air quotes + written ones not included, in case that wasn’t clear) + are trying to credit yourself for my comment. You shouldn’t, as it has/had nothing to do with you or our prior convo, whatsoever.
“Of course you do! That’s why you’re commenting on it.”
That’s a feeble argument. I’m commenting on it because you said it, much like I’m commenting on most every other point that you made. I don’t give a shit whether or not you found my nickname clever, since my goal wasn’t to impress you.

REMEMBER: Jesus was a fag. Jewish guys didn’t remain single back in the day. Jesus “choose” to spend his time with 12 other dudes, and a couple of fag hags. How many time in the bible do you read, Jesus LOVED John, Jesus LOVED Matt, Jesus LOVED Luke. Jesus reminds me of myself at 21, all fresh faced moving to San Francisco. I LOVED a lot of guys.

Of course it does, Piggy! As I wrote in comment No. 70 from our previous aggression:
Obviously it doesn’t work. Air quotes are fine because they are visual–just as most sarcasm doesn’t translate well online, because it is written and not spoken.
You’ve admitted that sarcasm does not translate well into the written, something I pointed out to you already.

When I was still blogging on Gay.com (before their facelift), there was an “ex-gay” marine who kept making similar posts to the one Japhy presented verbatim. Reading that kind of clap-trap can really wear one down and exhaust one patience and tolerance, I can tell you.
This went on for months, despite protests from the regular bloggers, including myself and resulted in the loss of a great many visitors and regulars who were enjoying blogging on Gay.com before this party-pooper came along.
Needless to say, I am an “ex-Gay.com” premium member, having chosen not to renew my “Premium Membership” at $89.00 bucks a year, just to be gay-bahsed by some relious creep who couldn’t STFU. Waht I like best about Queerty, is the rapport that exists between the editor and the blogger, which was notably absent on Gay.com. Posting or registering a complaint on that blog, was like praying in Jerusalem.

Having gone through that experience myself, my sympathies are with you, Japhy, having to wade through all that religious abuse that these people enjoy sending to members of the gay community for “Their own good”. You have our deepappreciation and thanks for sparing us from that mind-poisoning BS.
My father, who owned and operated a restaurant for many years always maintained that “It’s a good think when people are talking about you. It means that you must be doing something right. It’s when they stop talking about you, that you need to worry”
He may have been onto something. đ

Correction : think should be thing.
Ummm…question? Like email, is there reason why a spell check program could not be incorporated onto a blogging site?
I always wondered why they do not have them? It sure would save a lot of trips to Dictionary.com and your Funk and Wagnalls.
“Paulie Walnuts” I am still ROTF, LMAO about that one. đ

There are idiots and then there is this guy. He’s not very well informed. If all he ever reads is the Bible. He isn’t going to be well informed. Why isn’t he out protesting the war, they never had guns in the bible. Why isn’t he slaughtering cows and chickens on his house altar daily, they they are commanded to do in the bible to honor God?
All I know is that this guy is uneducated, ill-informed, and ungrateful. Marriage is totally wrong for anyone because first and foremost, it is based on ownership, not love. Where is the golden rule in this case? They treat us like pariahs and then wonder why we peacefully protest their abuse. They can’t see the truth and the power of love. Lying and denial are the true family values that they are passing on to their children.
Name (required)
so, in case any of you were curious, Mr. Namey McNamerson (as I’ve decided he shall be called) referenced a part of Revelations in which it’s said that: “homosexuals will burn in hell.”
He is predictably misguided.
Should you, dear editor, feel obliged to educate this man on the text he seems so eager to reference, you might tell him that the book of Revelations never once mentions gays. (Homosexual are mentioned only five times in scripture. Twice in Leviticus, and once each in Romans, Timothy, and First Corinthians.) Moveover, at no point in scripture does it ever say anything even remotely close to “homosexuals will burn in hell.”
Not. Even. Close.

Matters NOT, Name (requested).
They say it, ergo, it becomes truth.
Like the lie that marriage is a five-thousand year old religious institution. If you keep repeating it, over and over, for a long, long time, eventually everyone believes it.
Proof positive, that teaching by rote, does work!
Learning by rote, incidentally does not take any mental effort. It just sinks in, with or without your participation.
You don’t know why you believe it, but you KNOW that it is the truth. đ
