Gorak Strike Him Down!

So, you don't think Bush's attacks on gays is harmful, eh? Just a little bit of politics perhaps?

Think again:

Ronnie Paris would shake, wet himself and vomit as his father forced him into a box and repeatedly slapped him on the head in an effort to prevent him from being gay, the child's mother, Nysheerah Paris, testified Monday. The boy was 3 years old when he died from swelling on both sides of the brain on January 28.
[...]
"He didn't want him to be a sissy," Shelton Bostic, the defendant's Bible-study friend, testified.
I'm generally a very non-violent person, but I could go Gitmo on him in a flash. I'm sure he'll be thought of fondly in prison anyway...

It's very difficult to remain passive in the face of these types of people.. very..

Bush, and other Religious leaders such as the Pope, fuel the fire for this kind of panic and destruction.

Don't ever expect me to show the slightest bit of contrition for that, because I understand that their words have weight and meaning. Their words have consequences, and unless you've been on the receiving end of that, you have absolutely no idea what it means..
