Well said and so true. A small group of us here on FR have informally agreed to restore the term "gay" to its rightful meaning before the homosexual facists hijacked it. For those too young to remember, I have occasionally raised a few eyebrows when I talk of my 40+ year gay marriage. Before she passed, my wife and sweetheart, whom I met a Christian college, and I had decades of true happiness and Joy in Christ. That's what a "gay marriage" is genuinely all about. I want America back and I want my word back!
They could get a pass on Canada because it’s in America.
The Dublin thing was strange though.
.
Amazing Honolulu did not make the list, what with the way the liberal media likes to beat the pro-homosexual drum.
I am PROUD to see my Baltimore is not on this very wide-cast list. Haha, both PA cities are, as is very close DC.
Bristol Pa.
I must concur that Houston is no longer part of Texas. I left Houston in 1999, returned in 2011. The city was already going downhill when I left. During the time I was away, 10 of those years were in Minnesota. Now I see Houston as being part of Minnesota, not Texas. Time to move to Deer Park.
The homos pretty much form their own ghettos.
Wasn’t Manhattan, KS recently sodomized with anti-Christian (”anti-discrimination”) ordinances?
Ireland is one of the 57 states...
I thought the lesbian city of Northampton, Massachusetts, would be on it.
Sounds a lot like what California FReepers and millions of other
California conservatives have to put up with, getting lumped
together with the libtard majority. It gets old.
If they kept their mouth shut any city would be friendly
Fabulous in Ft. Lauderdale.
I notice Fort Worth is behind Detroit.
I have lived in both and Detroit has a long history of "fag bashing".
I haven't seen that here in FW.
:-)
How could ‘Sausagetuck’, Mi not make the list?
Does that include the Park cities?
Was my town as a boy.
New England is the Eastern Capital for gays.
