I’ll call her homophobic wingnut bigotry and raise one true America civil rights leader: Coretta Scott King: “Homophobia is like racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity, and their personhood.”

@Chitown Kev: Kev, I am so glad that we are both on board. It ain’t a black or white thing, its a hate thing, you spew your poo at us, we fire back with both barrels……………

First of all, Rosa Parks did NOT move to the front of the bus. She refused to move to the back.
Second, I don’t believe for a second that Rosa Parks would have given a damn if a few queer men or women were f@&#ing in the seat in front of her on that bus. The point was equality, not that she was black.
This woman has no idea what she’s talking about.

She’s up against the wonderful Keith Ellison, who freakin’ rocks. I hope he makes quick work of her.

If Rosa Parks were alive today, she would tear Barb Davis White’s hair off her scalp. Is this woman serious? White doesn’t deserve the civil rights that her people have fought for. If that’s her take on ’sodomy,’ then she should go back to living as a second-class citizen in order to known what it’s like to be treated differently. Once she’s tired of leading her life as a second-class citizen, then maybe she will have the sufficient empathy in her heart to realize that it’s not up to the public to grant/deny civil rights, because those rights exist despite the public’s opinion.
“I’m tired of being treated like a second-class citizen.”

@Rashid:
That ain’t hard to do, Miss White’s ponytail doen’t seemed to be glued to the rest of her hair too tightly.

Umm, Rosa Parks DIDN’T move to the front of the bus. She was in the back of the bus and refused to give up her seat when the front got too full for all the white people. Know your shit, Barb Davis White.

It’s interesting that everybody from MLK’s decendents to Mildred Loving have come out in support of gay rights. This person is a beneficiary of their hard work so maybe she needs to shut up and take a look at some of what they’ve said instead of trying to put words in their mouths.

I think she’s been teabagged one time too many. This one’s just a plain old bag. Look at how tight her mullet is! No oxygen flowing between the ears, but plenty o’ hot air.

No. 5 · Andrew wrote, “First of all, Rosa Parks did NOT move to the front of the bus. She refused to move to the back.” … and (to point out the obvious) she was not trying to support sodomy if only because a bus is not exactly the most romantic venue for a tryst.

” (Dr. Martin Luther King) had, at his side in the movement, an openly gay man, Bayard Rustin, assisting him in the early days of the Montgomery Bus Boycott that Rosa Parks inspired.
It’s clear that an open and honest discussion about what it is like to be both black and gay needs to occur, because it continues to be an alien concept in too much of the black community.
Coretta Scott King is a strong supporter of gay rights, and denounced a constitutional ban on marriage. “Gay and lesbian people have families and their families should have legal protection, whether by marriage or civil union,” she said in her March 23, 2005 address New Jersey’s Richard Stockton College. “A constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages is a form of gay bashing and it would do nothing at all to protect traditional marriages.”
Her son, Martin Luther King III, supported gay rights efforts. As an organizer of the 40th anniversary commemoration of the 1963 March on Washington, King made sure gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender groups were invited to participate.”

Ms White also has spoken out on how gay people have “gay bowel disease.” Feel free to check any handy medical dictionary and see if that’s a real diagnosis.
Time’s up!
No, it’s not.
I’ve written elsewhere here on Queertyville about my thoughts on “gay Catholics.” Can I add to the list of oxymorons “Black ‘Tea Party’ supporter”?
My first reaction when viewing video/photos of the Tea Party convention was: “Where the he££ are they hiding the Black people?” I’m going to add that I didn’t see Asians in the crowd. Someone with better eyes than me can comment on the Hispanic representation….
Ms Sarah Palin’s own cabal of followers shouted racial epithets about Pres. Obama when she was campaigning for VP, and she remained mum. She was also a featured speaker at that Tea Party gathering.
I just don’t get it.

The thing is, straights perform sodomy at a far higher level per capita than we do by virture of their vast numbers. I wonder how she’d respond to that? What a moron!

@No. 10 Cam
Cam, sadly, not all of MLK’s children are on our side. Bernice King, the incoming president of Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the civil rights organization funded by her father, is an outspoken homophobic bigot.
@No. 15 Robert, NYC
Robert, your math and thinking are off somewhat. Exhaustive research would be required to make more accurate calculations, but the biggest problem is calculating this is that gay sodomy is the only form of intercourse between gay men while straight couples engage more often in regular intercourse than sodomy.
Also, you miss the concept that per capita means the rate within the subject group; vast numbers is a gross quantity. Sodomy, the act described from the Bible, is the act of man-on-man rape. The traditional definition is man-on-man or man-on-woman anal intercourse. Using the traditional definition here.
Participation in sodomy is much easier to estimate. The per capita sodomy participation rates among gay men is very very high. Assume, for the sake of argument, that it is 95% (the other 5% being oral sex only). Also, assume, for the sake of argument, that 5% of the population is gay; thus the quantity of gay sodomites in the US is approximately: 330,000,000 population x 49% men x 5% gay x 95% sodomy x 70% sexually active (eliminates children and elderly) = 5,375,000 +/-. The sodomy rate among lesbians, by definition, is zero.
The vast numbers you suggest among straights is: 330,000,000 x 95% straight x 25% sodomy participation (found 1 study with this finding) x 70% sexually active = 54,862,500 straight sodomites.
Thus there are 10 times more straight sodomites and gay sodomites; though I would venture to guess that the overall quantity of sodomy acts is probably quite similar (gay guys doing 10 times for each time a straight couple engages in sodomy).

It’s kind of funny how assholes are so completely engrossed in the asshole.
