"If you're gay you can stay gay."

No one will intervene to alter your destiny.

Welcome to staying permanently GAY.

Now all the homosexuals will have to get their conversion therapy in dark black alleys. Coat hangers will be involved.

Thank you for referencing that article reaganaut1. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

"His decision on the sensitive issue is the latest example of his continuing embrace of gay rights [emphasis added]."

The referenced article overlooks that states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect LGBT issues. So if lawlass Obama really wants to protect such issues within the framework of the Constitution then this is what he must do.

Obama must work with Congress to propose an LGBT rights amendment to the Constitution to the states. And if the states choose to ratify Obama's amendment then LGBT rights will be constitutionally protected and Obama will be a hero.

And what about the ruined lives from pedophilia? What about the tortured souls dealing silently with having been raped (some repeatedly) by adult predators?

Men rape little boys. Those little boys go on to kill themselves, too. Mr Obama!!! What about them? Where is their justice???

Who wrote this poem, again?

“Pop”

Sitting in his seat, a seat broad and broken
In, sprinkled with ashes,
Pop switches channels, takes another
Shot of Seagrams, neat, and asks
What to do with me, a green young man
Who fails to consider the
Flim and flam of the world, since
Things have been easy for me;
I stare hard at his face, a stare
That deflects off his brow;
I’m sure he’s unaware of his
Dark, watery eyes, that
Glance in different directions,
And his slow, unwelcome twitches,
Fail to pass.
I listen, nod,
Listen, open, till I cling to his pale,
Beige T-shirt, yelling,
Yelling in his ears, that hang
With heavy lobes, but he’s still telling
His joke, so I ask why
He’s so unhappy, to which he replies…
But I don’t care anymore, cause
He took too damn long, and from
Under my seat, I pull out the
Mirror I’ve been saving; I’m laughing,
Laughing loud, the blood rushing from his face
To mine, as he grows small,
A spot in my brain, something
That may be squeezed out, like a
Watermelon seed between
Two fingers.
Pop takes another shot, neat,
Points out the same amber
Stain on his shorts that I’ve got on mine, and
Makes me smell his smell, coming
From me; he switches channels, recites an old poem
He wrote before his mother died,
Stands, shouts, and asks
For a hug, as I shrink, my
Arms barely reaching around
His thick, oily neck, and his broad back; ‘cause
I see my face, framed within
Pop’s black-framed glasses
And know he’s laughing too.

In an interview on Wednesday, Ms. Jarrett said Mr. Obama was moved by the story of Ms. Alcorn’s suicide.

Not true. Psychopaths are incapable of feeling empathy for others. They usually fake emotion to make others think that they are human.

Just when you think this administration can’t get more bizarre — they get more bizarre.

A shame real doctors have decided to treat the mentally ill with surgery. Leaving parents with nothing but quacks and “pray the gay away”, which doesn’t work. Serious mental illnesses need real treatment.

Suicide is a quite normal occurrence for Transgenders and Homosexuals. It is the number one cause of death in both groups, and it happens in the vast majority of cases in which no attempt to convert them is being made.
These people are mentally ill, and this mental illness manifests itself as self hate and suicidal tendencies.


Mental illness, psychological problems, moral and religious conflict, depression and manic -depressive events , sexual and domestic violence, depression, self worth and self esteem issues, substance abuse, STDs, and a generally unhealthy lifestyle leading to varying degrees of chronic unhappiness are the hall marks of the gay culture.

Not to mention sexual perversion - massive sexual perversion on a scale that is hard to believe or comprehend when a population reaches a San Francisco sized critical mass of gay members.

When I lived in the San Francisco area , we helped care for friends who were terminal AIDs cases and the stories they told about the Castro Gay lifestyle scene were an eye opening experience.

I'm no angel or holier than thou judgmental type, but just damn, was I and all the rest of the helpers appalled, even some of the more normal and conventional gays.

Josh Alcorn never said he was in conversion therapy, & his therapist has said he never did that. How does this cr*p get around?
Rereading his suicide note, he was obviously homosexual.

THIS is what Obama, Jarrett, and Kerry support and actually WANT to happen in America.

And it is guaranteed that if a homosexual "couple" decides to indoctrinate normal kids into the homosexual "lifestyle" he will push to provide grants and incentives to help accomplish that.

Many seem to be unable to make the distinction between someone who who expresses a level of tolerance and someone who rabidly pushes for atrocities.

what has it got to do with the fairy boy . This is about a parent helping their child.

STFU fairy boy because all you seem interested in is homosexuality and cross dressing, maybe you want to tell us something and can’t because the misses will smack you about.
