Oh that's just great, Homo Injuns. The upside is it makes watching the Western channel and John Wayne killing injuns more enjoyable.

Yeah, because Indians are just good for killin' anyway, right?

I agree - it was 'tolerated', much like a family member will tolerate a gay child (well, except for Alan Keyes) - they don't like it, and don't think it's healthy, but ya can't just toss them out and disown them, ya know?

I don't really recall hearing any tales of great homo warriors and the like, nor are there any mentions of homosexuality in the creation myths I've read or been told either...

OK mister Irish Catholic, check out your own Irish history. It's a little checkered as well. When you point a finger at someone,there's always a few fingers pointing back in your own direction.

Are you suggesting that the majority of gay men are white?

[Chad Fairbanks]

Jeez, the way you constantly act on Indian threads, one would almost imagine that American Indians were responsible for the Holocaust or something.... sheez.

You should ask that your post be removed, Archie.

Well, since the majority of men in general are white, Id guess the majority of gay men are white too.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Yeah, me too.

Maybe you need to read what the other poster said one more time, newbie. Why would this article "make watching John Wayne kill indians more enjoyable"??? Hmmm...????

Try using your head for something besides a hatrack, noob.

Hoffman as an Indian? LOL

[IrishCatholic]

Sigh, read it again. Or are you saying Indians were just like on Disney's Pocahontas? Enlightened environmentalists that lived in communes? Trendy inclusive gay promoting vegetarians?
Gee, I sort of like the version where they were fierce survivors suited to their situation. And the complement of their adversaries calling them the best light cavalry in the world must offend you somehow.
As for the Irish, I do know the history. I kind of like it. In fact, I like it so much I just might choose it for my screen name here.
Try reading the post again before worrying about finger pointing. You won't look so foolish.

Ok,I know with the tribes in South Dakota if you were gay you wore women's clothes and lived as a women. You did not hunt and hang out with the men. Imagine what would happen if we asked the gay men today to do that. It's apples and oranges.
