Oh good grief! If you can't tell kidding like this then I really don't have much hope for you. I believe if I look up "political correctness" in the encyclopedia there will be a picture of you.

Re: To Those Who Make Fun of Gays.....

My heart goes out to this young man and his family. Regardless of the sin he was involved in his privacy was horribly violated.

I am guessing his roommate and girlfriend thought they were just being funny but what a testament to how base our society has come when one would think that is an ok thing to do.

What a shame that this young man felt his life was ruined to the point he took his own life.

heh, he was pretty open about it! Didn't bother me. Rough necks like to hit on me for some reason. Must be my dreamy eyes. Anyway, I brought attention to the post because I wonder if that is acceptable here, even if he was kidding?

1) You never had any hope for me anyway;
2) Thank you for the compliment. Some people call it "Having a brain and trying to understand other people."

It is sad when anyone is pushed to the extreme of suicide for any reason. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

And before we poke fun at anyone for anything, we outta think about the potential results. We don't know when someone might be on the edge mentally and emotionally. "Political Correctness" or "Sensitivity" just might have its advantages.
