I'll assume those posts weren't homophobic but instead terrified by the O$U pictures and the costume pics.

I think the costumes were really distressing. I am distressed that young people put stuff on the net that is gonna bite them in the ass and follow them to a job interview.  I am not sure why you jumped to the conclusion or even brought up the gay issue. I was similarly distressed when Oprah told the British press that we are dissatisfied with Obama because it is a race issue. Why even play that card>?

Yeah.  Oprah, richest woman in America, would have intimate knowledge of how race is the primary factor in one's success in this country.

yeah, what would a black woman born into poverty to a single mother in rural Mississppi in 1954 know about racism? With a head start like that how could she grow up and NOT be rich, am I right? Some people have all the luck.

Returning the discussion back to the letters...

Nice job by the Ozone president to send in a rebuttal.

[QUOTE=whocaresgobobcats]Facebook If I was a virgin at her age I would be writing lame letters to editors too.  

Oh wait?  I get it now.

I don't see any posts attacking the girl's sexual orientation, I just see a bunch of posts attacking people for attacking her.

It's like the year after the time change riots when the police showed up expecting a riot but there was none.

Did you read the whole thread.  Go back and read posts 16 and 18.  Nothing like a bunch of homophobic white males hiding behind handles attacking someone who dares to express an opinion.

Fist let me be clear, I don't support anyone making disparaging remarks about someone because of their sexual orientation.

Secondly, what does being a white male have to do with anything? that's a tad racist and sexist, don't you think? for someone who's advocating tolerance you don't sound very tolerant.

Not at all.  Just stating a fact about the demographics of this site and most sports boards.

Really Alan?

You are gonna throw the card? I am against attacking her sexuality but the poster merely put out there what is commonly known from the Toledo paper http://www.toledofreepress.com/tag/super-queer/ It is a pic associated with an article and seems to tie back to her general persona. Her facebook page is similar in content. My comment was directed at her willingness to put it all out there. I do not need to know. I feel no need to come out as straight or put stickers on my car or posts on my facebook proclaiming my sexuality. It is my business and should stay my business.

You are gonna call folk homophobes for offering up a picture of what is printed in the newspaper. May as well call them pervs for circulating the pics of the Miami guys lifted from facebook on tricycles.

Before you attack me....yes I am white, yes I am male and middle aged.....but you probably need to follow me for a week before you call me racist or homophobic. You might start by asking the gay male African American that greets every one of my patients and then ask my 3rd son what they think.

I think you are full of it on this one.

As I read more and more about this person I have a thought in the back of the mind that the word "suck" may conjure up an image that she finds unacceptable and felt so repulsed by her own vision that she felt compelled to comment.

Those you are labeling homophobes for putting a pic printed in the paper with the title from the headline may even be pro gay or gay themselves....how would you know?

when you make a declarative statement without any supporting evidence it is opinion, not fact. Regardless, how is race or gender relevant to the conversation?
