Sticks and Stones

So I pissed someone off with my challenge of convincing me who to vote for yesterday as I received this anonymous e-mail.

Your so fucking stupid. All you fags want the same thing. go bakc to the sex club and catch aids! George Bush is the best thing that has ever happened to the country. Move to france where you belong.

I knew I was opening myself up for attacks here...and I fully intended to keep this civil...but let me tell you something Miss Thang. You need to turn yourself around, sit your ass down, and take out a note book as your are about to get a scholarly lesson...bitch!

Gay men were first called "FAG"'s back in the Nazi concentration camps. The word originally was used to describe two things, cigarettes and working to exhaustion. The cigarette term was where it became derogatory to call me or my gay brothers Fags (and yes...that is with a CAPITAL "F"!) When starting the Ovens for the mass extermination of the Jews, they would use kindling, of "Fag"s by strapping small pieces of wood to the gay prisoners and using them to start the ovens. So not only are you oppressing me by calling me a fag, but you are also commenting on the Jewish race.

As for the AIDS comment...honey...first of all...AIDS IS CAPITALIZED! It's the acronym for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome and is caused by catching the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). You cannot "catch AIDS" as it is a diagnosis based on complications of contracting the HIV virus. Secondly, HIV transmission rates are highest in Africa among heterosexuals. So you really need to get your facts in order.

Don't you dare hit the close button bitch, as I am NOT through with you yet. Your lack of courage to email me with a return address has only pushed me to answer you in this public forum. You obviously don't like what I have to say. Get over it. You don't have to read it. The first amendment says I can write what I want, and as long as I am not slanderous, I am within the letter and spirit of the law.

You don't like gay people, yet you feel necessary to call us names? Why? Does it make you feel empowered? Girl...you have not seen empowering. Empowering is walking down the street, holding your boyfriend's hand as a car full of teenage boys scream out the word faggot at you. You want to call me a fag? Tell me something I don't know, like I have wrinkles in places I didn't know, or that I can get a better rate on my car insurance.

Here are a few more words and names you can call me, but guess what...I already claim them as my own!
