Taking back the bar
As formerly regular patrons trickled into the bar on Villard Street wearing purple shirts, they barely recognized the mahogany decorated walls of the new sports bar that used to be a gay-friendly bar, Neighbors.
Members of the University chapter of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer Alliance organized a take back Neighbors night as part of Gay Pride Week.
"Neighbors was a great place to bring together queer guys and queer girls," said Angela Messerli, University student and co-director of the LGBTQA. "We really want our own space. We want a place to hang out and be ourselves, and now it's gone."
OK, first thing, they keep adding letters to their acronym. LGBTQA... this is so they can include every type of possible sexual degenerate. Don't want to make anyone feel left out.
Second, you really want your "own space?" What about the Boy Scouts? I thought that they weren't allowed to ask for their "own space?"
Third, why does it have to be a "take back" event? Can't you just go there and have a good time? Does everything have to be a conflict to you? Does everything have to be about your sexual orientation? Sheesh.

For what purpose would queer guys and gals be brought together for?
Apparently the wishes of the bar's owner count for nothing here ....
They will have to be tolerant one day and add another "B" in their name along with a "P" and an "I" for:
Beastiality
Pedolphiles
Incest
When is enough enough?
What they aren't telling you is that the old bar went OUT OF BUSINESS and was bought, remodeled, and reopened as a sports bar.
Where was their loyalty when Neighbors was hemorraging cash every night?
and yes, the Boy Scouts are a private business.
suomynona,
I don’t think anyone really “hates” homosexuals as you claim. Could it be you just hate anyone that disagrees with you?
Homosexuality should be treated like any other mental illness with an emphasis on helping the individual.
daniel looks like a homo to me
Beastiality
Pedolphiles
Incest
Who said sex. There are people that are actually saying they "love" a cow. There are people (mary kay laterno) who say they "love" 13 year olds. There are people who say they "love" their 7 year old neice.
Thanks for judging me.
Besides:
Mirriam-Webster's Dictionary
Main Entry: 1ho·mo·sex·u·al
Pronunciation: "hO-m&-'sek-sh(&-)w&l, -'sek-sh&l
Function: adjective
1 : of, relating to, or characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward another of the same sex
2 : of, relating to, or involving sexual intercourse between persons of the same sex
What else would you say it is?
Just out of curiousity, what do you mean by,
"Doing the blogs that Mexicans won't do"?
Again...
Thanks for making assumptions about me and judging me. It has nothing to do with thick skin. I can take it. Sounds like you can't.
"You however, are throwing judgment and condemnation at a group of people only for the activities they engage in while in the bedroom."
Excuse me for butting in, but this is asinine, backwards anonymous.
You've identified the exact problem: these folks don't confine it to the bedroom; they insist on shouting about it from the rooftops. Have you missed the "gay pride" marches each year? Have you ever noticed that there aren't any "hetero pride" marches?
These folks build their entire identity around sex; moreover, they continually throw it in everyone's face, roundly condemning anyone who has the audacity to disagree with their view that such behavior is normal and proper.
If only they would confine it to their bedrooms!
I cannot go through years of debate on this subject, what I think the basis for their relationships are, why they choose to do it, why they are supposedly born with it, why it in fact does relate to pedophilia and rape, and on and on. It would simply take forever and I doubt I would change anyone's mind.
I am not here to judge or condemn a person. I feel their pain. I feel their wanting to have more rights. I also know all the ills of society and how there are many things that denegrate us and how our kids are growing up seeing more and more that only contribute to their future (including many heterosexual problems).
That having been said, I agree with Max Redline here. When one group's rights infringe upon another's rights, there is a constitutional imbalance that occurs. When a homosexual's rights infringe upon heterosexual's rights, that same imbalance shows up. Our nation has chosen the past few decades to allow the minority to win every time and it has gotten out of control.
Today when I want my rights heard, all I get is that I am bigoted and racist and "homophobic" (whatever that word means).
I love all people. Jesus taught me to love all people. He also taught me right and wrong. Although Ghandhi was the one who said "Love the sinner hate the sin." Jesus implied it.
I don't know what else I can say to you suomynona. You seem to have made your mind up about me even though you have clearly gotten some things wrong with what you have stated so far.
Remember: When you ASSUME you make and ASS out of U and ME.
You know, the strangest thing has been happening to my computer. When I read Daniel's blog and go to the comments, when ever the name "suomynona" comes up, my computer has this tendancy to scroll past that whole section!
Now, I don't know what the problem is, but I'm sure I have been missing some very salient points because of this.
Of course I could be wrong, too.
All I hear from suomynona is "nuh uh!"
"Time to grow thick skin"?
Time to grow an argument.
GAY people are sick degenerates.
I don't HATE them. My brother DIED from AIDS. I LOVED HIM. BUT He took it up the ASS & DIED! NOT from cancer or a car wreck. I miss him and if he wasn't GAY, (yes only defined by sexual preference, not a race of humans) He would be ALIVE! you play with the Bull sometimes you get the horn. Reality sucks doen't it?
you GAY supporters have not lived my life, you are stupid and should shut up as I get furious over your ignorant crap.
GAY people need HELP not your support.
ANAL SEX is VIOLENT & DAMAGING to your body, even with lubricant, even without getting AIDS.
YES my Uncle is a Proctologist, I know the facts, not just liberal media ideology.
Time to grow thick skin
That's something someone says when attacking someone and try reason it away.
Beyond a dictionary definition? That's exactly why you are attacking him, for living with a moral code. It's a good thing big mike has been showing you plenty of grace and you haven't been returning it. It just proves his points even more.
"I would say it's the business of two consenting adults, who are old enough to make their own decisions and choices."
Why would you limit it to two? Isn't that discriminatory? And how about a mother/son or father/daughter relationship when they are adults? Does that fit into your definition?
As for "doing the blogs that Mexicans won't do" (off topic but ok) it is a play on the "doing the jobs that Americans won't do" comment that our president and other illegal alien apologists say.
The bottom is that the non-normals can't or won't start their own bar, and reap the entrepeneurial rewards. They have to force someone else to bow to their wishes. Except for the fact that muslims would kill them on sight, the queers (their word, not mine) are acting just like the imams.
Is it some sort of rationale that one could discriminate on sexual orientation as a "private business" because the Boy Scouts were allowed to? Sorry, just seems apples and oranges to me.
The Villard Street Pub (formerly Neighbor's) simply stopped catering to gay groups. Are you trying to say that doing so is "discriminat[ing] on sexual orientation?
Seems to me that the only bigotry and discrimination is coming from the LGBTQA who are upset at a business owner trying to broaden his bar's appeal.
I'll give you points for arguing well suomynona. You and I will just have to agree to disgree on the subject of homosexuality and gay rights.
Back anon -
"I wish everyone who was passionate about themselves or what they believed in had the ability to live their lives without forcing it on everyone else."
Well, there's the problem with what has become known in some circles as the "gay agenda".
I just get weary of those who insist on getting in my face.
Confine it to the home, just like the rest of us do.
That said, Bush, like his predecessor, is paying lip service to the concept of marriage as being between one man and one woman.
It's a stupid thing, all the political posturing. People know what marriage is, and have known for thousands of years.
We don't need a political definition of the term.
It is intuitive that two guys, or to girls, or a guy and his dog, or whatever - are not married.
At the same time, a guy and a girl who live together are not married just because they believe they love each other.
Marriage is recognized because it is a formal joining not only of two people, but their families, and the purpose of marriage is to formalize a union not only between two people (or a guy and a dog) - but the union of two families, which will ideally produce offspring that carry the mingled genetics of both.
Living together and professing love for one another does not constitute marriage.
It's not hateful conduct to state the obvious, though some wish to make it so.
As long as backwards and his lefty moron friends can find enough doritos to take with their dope, we'll have to put up with their sophistry and specious nonsense. It helps to motivate our Homeschool group to achieve high marks and succeed in life. They certainly don't want to end up as confused and self-destructive as the lefties.
"max: Well, there's the problem with what has become known in some circles as the "gay agenda".

Pick any group of people and you have an "agenda." Gay agenda. Christian agenda. Adult Entertainment agenda. Conservative agenda. Liberal agenda. Environmentalist agenda. NRA agenda. Gun control agenda. Pro-Life agenda. Pro-Choice agenda. And on and on and on...
Your feelings or opinions to the validity of any agenda's mission, should not advocate for the persecution of individuals or the denial of liberties to members of any agenda."
Well, we can find some degree of common ground here, back anon. I don't advocate for the persecution of anyone.
Among the things I do advocate:
Keep your sex life private.
Abide by the laws of the land (and yes, that includes illegal "immigrants").
Don't ask for, nor expect to receive, special rights based upon your race, your sexual preference, or any other issue.
There's no such thing as a "hate crime". Assault is assault, and murder is murder.
All people should be treated equally under the law.
