You must be kidding

In the green room at work today, a gay friend of mine was reading Pride, Queensland's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community magazine. He showed me an article , which I shall copy out for you below;

GAYS SHOULD WEAR 'WARNING LABELS'

The gay 'lifestyle' is so unhealthy, gays should be forced to wear warning labels, according to New York Christian coalition leader Rev Bill Banuchi.
"We put warning labels on cigarette packs because we know that smoking takes one to two years off the average life span, yet we 'celebrate' a lifestyle that we know spreads every kind of sexually transmitted disease and takes at least twenty years off the average life span according to the 2005 issue of the revered scientific journal Psychological reports", Banuchi said.


Well what can I say, except God, reverend Barbie, how do you put your bra and panties on every morning, all by yourself?! Who actually says things that stupid? I must apologise to any gay people who may find those comments offensive as I am well aware that it could be quite upsetting and would certainly get some gay friends of mine worked up into a rage, but it's just laughable really. I also feel secure that the gay community has nothing to fear with men like reverend Banuchi as their enemies. And to think that this man is the leader of anything, let alone an organisation of that size and significance. I'm lost for words, I really am.

You are SO right!

Beyond that, I really don't have anything to say, I'm truly speechless.

You could easily apply that same crude mentality across great swathes of society... fat people... skinny people... smokers... drinkers... dare I say it... extreme right hardline "Christians"?

I guess, you know, this world is so perfect in every way that we need things like this to worry about...at least some of us do.

*sigh*
