Why Is Everyone Staring So Hard at New Jersey’s State Senators?

Why well dear Queerty it’s called… adoration.
After all the NJ legislator just proved it is capable of listening to their constituency and voting in an appropriate way which reflects the desires of the majority of the voters…
Exactly the way the system was designed.

Such a dick.

Sounds like Queerty has picked up some “hater baiters” in the last week. Guess there is no stopping haters anywhere.

Quit calling people who disagree haters. That is juvenile. How well did that tactic work in New Jersey bright bulbs? No one is buying that crap anymore. It is worn out, tired, old and not true. Give it up.
Is your identity as a gay person so fragile you can’t debate someone without labeling them?
And by all means keep bashing Christians, that has worked oh so well to date. Hammering the very people who you want to support you.
Why does everyone hate Christians when the gay community wants them to support their cause? Why bash them?
That is cowardice.

@4 Robert in CA:
We don’t hate people who are trapped in the delusion of Christianity. We hate Christianity itself because of the terror it has wrought upon innocent people. Some of us (the smart ones, anyway) also hate Islam for the same reason. Christianity and Islam were spread by the sword, and innocent people died at their evil hands.
They are haters. We hate them, but at least we don’t hide behind a deity to justify it. All we do is use historical evidence that these are hate groups. They are to the 21st century what Nazism, Fascism, and Communism were to the 20th. They must be dealt with in the same way that those three forms of totalitarianism were.

no Robert, what’s cowardice is four ‘christians’ beating the shit out of one gay guy in a darkened alleyway.

Uh, last poll I saw had New Jerseyans supporting marriage equality — and by a significant margin, too. Sorry bigot brigade! 🙂
Michael Letterman
Brian: Not to burst your bubble but polls aren’t exactly evidence of anything but a rough estimate of what is going to happen and are so easy to twist (based on how the poll is worded) that you can pretty much get a poll to reveal whatever you want it to.
And as we see by the end result, this poll was off “by a signifigant margin, too.” So sorry gay agenda brigade 🙂
What??????? too soon? Oh the pain will go away eventually.
