I recall the old saw "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." I'm a gay man, old enough to remember Stonewall. GLAAD started out with the best of intentions, but they've gone so far overboard they're a parody of what they once were. Whatever happened to "I disagree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it?"

The family sit down bit and his suggestion glaad do the same with some imams was brilliant.

I am so sick of all these publicity seeking groups, who want to control someone, and help no one. Thank you John, for being a reasoned human being. My family had gay friends in the early 50s, and they were people, not members of some group seeking retribution for something. The same was true of then Negro friends. Respect has to come from what the person is and does, not what group supports him (or her, since we will have feminists up in arms, if we do not qualify). I remember gender studies coming in when I was in college, and feminists going crazy for them. As a female, I avoided them like the plague. Gag!
The ACLU has a history of communist support, that should say it all. Anyone who makes color, gender, sexual orientation, or anything less than the whole human being the focus, is suspect, in my book. Let the leaders express themselves, but give them no legal hold over the free speech of others. Any business who falls for this crap will definitely lose my business, period!

When Al Queda takes over, GLAAD will be the first to go (off with your head), then Rev Sharpton and Rev Jackson's racist-in-reverse entrepreneur groups, and then, any woman who thinks they don't look pretty in a burka (poetic justice for actresses. And I say Amen to you brother, John Emerson!

From in the closet to in our face in 10 years. I am sick of this crap. Each group wants special treatment. It started with the blacks, then women, then wetbacks, now the homo's. When do the white, straight males get their SPECIAL treatment. Sorry we have: we have been getting shafted for 50 plus years.
