Many of the bigots who said the sky would fall in if we didn't set fire to black people now and again, or keep them in chains, are now mouthing off about gay people. And it's the same tiresome, ignorant and hate filled bleat. WAAAH WE WANT TO TREAT PEOPLE WE DON'T LIKE AS SUBHUMAN, AND THE SKY WILL FALL IN IF YOU DON'T LET US!!! Indeed, quite a few homophobes are also racists. The hilariously named J.B. Stoner was a case in point. Here's one of his bon mots for you to digest:

J. B. Stoner, arch-racist and homophobe wrote:AIDS is a racial disease of Jews and Niggers, and fortunately it is wiping out the queers. I guess God hates queers for several reasons. There is one big reason to be against queers and that is because every time some white boy is seduced by a queer into becoming a queer, means his white bloodline has run out.


Now if you want to be associated with someone as crude, backward, lumpen and plain hate-filled as this, then don't be surprised if others point this out. Oh, while you're at it, here's some other choice words you can digest, from some of the people who claim to be "defenders of traditional marriage":

Bob Dornan, Rethuglicon politician wrote:Don't use the word 'gay' unless it's an acronym for 'Got Aids Yet'


Fred Phelps, all round asshole wrote:Not only is homosexuality a sin, but anyone who supports fags is just as guilty as they are. You are both worthy of death.


Jesse Helms, racist politician wrote:Homosexuals are weak, morally sick wretches.


Paul Cameron, discredit pseudoscientist wrote:Unless we get medically lucky, in three or four years, one of the options discussed will be the extermination of homosexuals.


Nice people you have on "your side".

I would have thought it was obvious, but since it isn't: I have no problem with the type of use that Calilasseia made of those quotes. If you need me to explain the distinction, I'll gladly oblige.
