How exactly have we seen that its emboldened those who are prejudiced against gays?
I don't recall anyone coming here and posting that it was okay to remove rights that gays currently have before Ford became mayor.How exactly have we seen that its emboldened those who are prejudiced against gays?
Once again, you resort to name calling, and making up stories. I've not even implied Ford should be forcefully removed, let alone advocated.He's practically advocating for the forceful removal of Ford...

Things like this will come up in any discussion on the subject of homosexuality, especially gay marriage.
I never advocated Ford should be forcefully removed from office. My exact words were "Ford ... shouldn't be in public service representing us all."Oh, nonsense nfitz. You either have a very selective memory or you just like to rewrite history.
Sure you have ... creepy, completely out to lunch, stalker ... and that's just today! This seems to be your modus operandi ... if someone won't agree with you, you name-call, bully, harass, and try and imply all sorts of strange things about them. It's remarkably similar to pattern to how many gays have been treated over the years!First I didn't call you any names in that post.
Who have I slandered? Ford has admitted to being prejudiced against gays. He admitted to drunk driving. He admitted to lying about drunk driving. I guess he didn't admit about the bribery attempt, but the police notes were clear enough.And somehow, it's okay for you to say the most hateful and slanderous things ...
??? I didn't say Ford is removing gay rights. Not sure where you got that from.you're saying that Ford is removing gay rights since becoming mayor? How? How? Explain how he's doing this?
And there's the name-calling again ...Your madness ...
The problem here is that your position on gay marriage is prejudiced. The courts say that these rights exist, and yet that isn't good enough for you? Your position on gay marriage is not acceptable, prejudiced, and contrary to the laws of the nation.Exactly. It's the same, tried method of trying to discredit those who have a different opinion on topics like same sex marriage. nfitz is the poster child for this kind of demonizing nonsense.

I don't think he created it ... it pains me to admit it, but I'm starting to think the prejudice has always been there. However Ford has emboldened people to say things they might not have said previously.So where did all this gay hate suddenly come from? There is only one obvious reason and Ford created it.

Who on earth are you to say that someone who is gay shouldn't have the same right as someone who is straight? I'm still absolutely shocked that anyone could be so prejudiced to believe this! I've always thought the few who thought this were simply completely ignorant ... but you are the first person in my entire life I have encountered who doesn't fit this mould, and has apparently simply chosen to be prejudiced.
Read the newspaper's readers comments. There is strength in numbers and their numbers seem to be growing. Ford's perceived anti-gay views are giving them the sense that their homophobia is justified. So where did all this gay hate suddenly come from? There is only one obvious reason and Ford created it. He could have very easily avoided it without any fallout but he chose otherwise.

It didn't suddenly come from anywhere. Its always been there. Look at the polls, yes acceptance has been rising but there are still lots of people out there who don't approve of gay marriage.

Really? You defence is that you didn't call names in that post, only in other posts. Oh, okay ... that makes the nmaI said I never called any names in that post. I've used other words to describe your behavior and personality but those were in other posts.
??? Really? Now your trying to justify drunk driving? Many people might well have had a beer before driving. Or even 2 beers. But drunk driving? I don't believe for a second that most people have ever committed that criminal act - drinking enough to blow 0.08?? I've never been close. Are you defending such criminal behaviour?And who hasn't driven while drinking?
My point was clear I thought. That people, like you, who are prejudiced against gays, have been emboldened to express your prejudice against gays and make it clear that you don't think that they should have the same rights that you or I might have.And you said "I don't recall anyone coming here and posting that it was okay to remove rights that gays currently have before Ford became mayor."
I'd think that millions would share my views that prejudice is wrong ... not seeing your point here.Yours isn't the only view on this topic nfitz. You live in a country where millions of others have the same views.
