Upset that NYC Spanish newspaper El Diario supports marriage equality and does not cover enough evangelical Christian events, New York state senate super hater Ruben Diaz Sr. has spearheaded a boycott saying that every 50 cent purchase of the Spanish daily paper helps promote abortions and same-sex marriage. Wait? It does? Maybe El Diario is a better paper than we thought!
So in short, Ruben Diaz would like to scuttle the oldest Spanish-language daily newspaper in America, a paper read by 70% of NYC’s Hispanic news readers, a paper with 800,000 weekly readers per week and one of the only papers that regularly carries news about readers’ South American countries of origin. Why does Diaz hate Hispanics so much?
Also one should assume since states with marriage equality have lower teen suicide rates that Diaz is also a big champion of teen suicide. So Diaz hates Hispanics and teenagers? Is there a way we can work that into his re-election slogan?

Timr to start funding the “Anybody who runs against him” Ticket.

Yeah, this guy is on the level of NOM: chillingly hateful. He is a closed-minded, hateful hysteric; he will hear *nothing* but his own objective. The activists in New York don’t put up with him for a second, and *will* continue to fight him until they are equally protected. I think he thinks somehow they’ll give up or go away. He will be doing this until they win or until he retires, period. That will be his legacy: that he fought equality, hating it and trying to destroy it, until he retires.

@Cam: You do realize that means donating to a Republican, right? I don’t know if the gay liberal establishment could live with that.

There could be a primary challenge.

@Riker: @Cam: It’s already happened in NYC with people running against this turd and Charles Rangel the thief from Harlem.
Riker
@Hyhybt: New York State senators don’t often have strong primary challengers, if they have any at all.

I didn’t say anything about it being LIKELY.

He’s not going to care what we think just the people in his district.Does he representative a homophobic area?
Barney
Please correct his article to let everyone know that this bastard is a member of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. And then maybe some fag can explain to me why they think Democrats are better than Republicans instead of taking the more intellectually mature position that both Democrats AND Republicans are full of shit and that we need to reject them both?
Cam
@Barney:
Barney, You have been all hysterical on a bunch of articles on here attacking the Democrats. I’ll tell you why I support them over the GOP…AND before you claim that I am some shill for them, I was EXTREAMLY hard on the dems in this very blog for the last few years until the DADT and DOMA issues started moviing.
Here is the issue.
The Dems don’t work for us unless we force them to, either by witholding money, or as in 2010, staying away from the polls, and panicking them into passing a huge amount of good legislation during the lame duck session.
But see, with the DEMs, it is the choice between them doing nothing FOR us, and actually getting off their butts and helping us.
With the GOP they are actively trying to hurt and attack us.
So why would I think of them as equal?? If there are 5 guys trying to kill me, and I yell for help to five other guys sitting on a bench and they ignore me, and then I say “I’ll pay you to help!” and then they get up and fight for me…are they my friends? No, are they a hell of a lot better for me than the people trying to kill me? Absolutly.
Hyhybt
There are exceptions on both sides, of course, but when it comes down to a vote, Republicans pretty consistently vote as a block against us. Democrats do not.

@Cam
Well said! I’m going to have to use that line at the end sometime soon..

@Barney: You should be explaining to me and everyone else why you’re such a cunt before you go demanding shit from other people.

Who is paying for a NY state senators website to be promoting biblical verses? Diaz should be removed from office.

@Barney: I agree with you. It would be better to actually vote third party so we can at least begin to get out of this sick volley match that has been going on for decades. The Repuglycunts say they hate us upfront and work to deny us our rights while the Demoncants say they support us upfront and work to deny us our rights. No difference. These LGBT people who fiercely defend democrats might as well just go to another cocktail party because all their talk is like hollow drunken nonsense.
TheRealAdam
@ewe: So wishing for and in effect “supporting” a *non-existent* third party somehow gives you and Barney the right to criticize the gays who choose the lesser of the two evils: the party that has actually pushed pro-gay legislation through?
Pass me the crackpipe when you’re done. Must be some good shit.
Jeffree
Easy comparison between Dems & Reps: the Republican (national) platform wants to affirm “marriage” as being solely between “one man and one woman.”
Need I say more?
TheRealAdam
@Jeffree: Jeffree! You’re back!

If the republican that was running in his district was a liberal republican, that’s preferable to a religious conservative Democrat. Diaz is an heroin dealer, I’m sure this thug has a lot of skeletons in his closet, plus a lot of his allies have been disgraced by financial scandals, I’m certain this thug is not clean.
Hyhybt
Somebody please turn up video of him kicking puppies in time for the next election.
Not that I want puppies to be kicked, but if anyone does kick them, I want it to be him and in front of a camera.
