He is still in the Demo-rat for some reason. Read the related story at the link. He is a brave guy.

[NRA1995]

He isn’t anti-gay, he’s anti-homosexual.

[dynachrome]

“in the demo-rat PARTY” that is.

There is a whole anti-Naugle site keeping track of his quotes. They are worth reading!

“Naugle apologized for underestimating the problem of men having sex with each other in public restrooms, and urged people to call police to complain when they come upon it. He also said Broward County leads the nation in the incidence of new AIDS cases involving men having sex with men, and questioned whether the county tourism office should be welcoming them here.

“I want to apologize to the children and parents of our community,’’ the mayor said, “for not being aware of the problem.’’

“In additon to the comments on public sex, Naugle has described gays as unhappy, contended the gay Stonewall Library should not be housed in a city building because its collection contains pornography and questioned whether the county should market itself to gay tourists because of the high rate of HIV infection in the area. His comments have been reported across the nation.”

Done. Freeped.

So much for freedom of speech and voting your conscience.

"He isn’t anti-gay, he’s anti-homosexual"

Same thing. A rose by any other name is still a rose.

[ishabibble]

Done.

[Gopher Broke]

If you read the story, he only opposes men having sex in PUBLIC restrooms at the beach.

That is why he is hated...basically protecting his citizens again public crime.

[NRA1995]

Gay = happy. Why let a bunch of pervs change our language?

"Naugle has ruined the reputation of this community in the minds of many fair-minded Americans," said Anthony Niedwiecki, who helped form a group called Unite Fort Lauderdale last month in the wake of the mayor's comments."

No, Anthony, it is the public sex and documented incidence of AIDs that has ruined to reputation of the community. Actions have consequences. 

 

Truth still exists.

 

Mayor Naugle is just telling the truth.  Do you have a problem with the truth, Anthony?

 

I know you'd like to replace right and wrong with legal and illegal - but the TRUTH is what it is, and you're never going to change that.

If I see Niedwiecki any where near a public bathroom, I’ll go elsewhere or hold it in.

The connotation for that word has been changed forever, alas.

[VxH]

 

It’s very revealing that,  instead of disputing the facts presented by the Mayor, Niedwiecki chooses to silence the messenger.

Apparently the 1st amendment is missing from Associate Professor Niedwiecki’s curriculum.

 

It also seems that he must have skipped Bio-101 and the section covering Mammalian Heterosexual reproduction.

 

Homosapiens are Mammals. Mammals reproduce Heterosexually.

 

It is the simple truth.

 

But truth can be so... inconvenient.
