Was it wrong to lead viewers to believe that the homosexual heroes were heterosexual?

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

Ok so why didn't the press report how many of these "heroes" buggered animals, the deceased, or children? How many had foot fetishes? Don't these groups count? *kof* *puke*

I have a strong suspicion that several of the hijackers were homosexual, possibly repressed. I'm pretty sure about Atta. Should we trumpet that also?

Sodomy on all-male trans-oceanic voyages was extremely common in the eighteenth/nineteenth century. So is sodomy in all-male prisons. I expect that many of the men in those circumstances would be more than happy to have sex with a woman if they could find one.

If you have to bring up the sexual preferences of the people involved everytime a gay does something, does that not imply the deviancy of the gay lifestyle? I mean, if homosexual preferences were healthy and common then then the public would not always assume that people are straight. Take religion for example, outside of terrorists who were modivated by their muslim beliefs, not one word has been mentioned about the religious beliefs of the passengers involved. It is not mentioned because, outside if the terrorists, it is not of interest to most people.

The sexual preferences of the passengers played no part in their actions. Does an individual's gayness may their sacrifice any greater? The opposite is probably true. The man with a wife and child dies leaving that family behind to grieve for him and survive without his income and support. The gay man _maybe_ leaves a partner, who is probably quite self sufficient and certainly no children. The fact that a passenger was gay is important only to the gay activists who want to rub the rest of society's nose in their sex life. The guy on the plane most certainly did not think 'I'm gay so I better stop this'.

The old "whatever they do in the privacy of their bedrooms" mantra...that might work pal, but they don't restrict their activities or their diseases, to their bedrooms. How many more facts about AIDS and gay syphilis would it take to make you uncomfortable with their "lifestyle"... or does simple right and wrong not enter into the picture for people like you?

MO ... These are ones who have abused the opposite sex one way or another, they, we're born again to right a wrong, very tuff for a male or female as we don't have a memory, but the soul is ready to record a right.

I can say, as I'm sure you can see, the difference in the opposite sex of an homosexual. Do I hold it against them, no, that is their journey in life. Do I know these people, yes, and some are finding truth!..........How many here have had sexual fantasies with a little girl, boy or animal or anyone out of wedlock......You will meet your maker and your maker is you, and what is in front of you is no less then the judging and doing to someone else especially in thought.

It is truly a truth, it is not what comes out of our mouth but what you think. especially when you think noone is listening or watching and the whole time your GOD within hears every word. See how kind God is he would never let you die for you are part and parcel him, for you will be born again that's a given! My thoughts on how much GOD loves you!

I don't think Atta would go for women. Have you read about his Last Will and Testament? On the other hand, some of them reportedly visited lap dancers as a last fling.

. "... We felt bad about not knowing he was gay and we wanted to set the record straight."
— Andrew Wolfson, reporter for The Courier-Journal

Felt bad???? Huh!!!???

[babyfreep]

That's it....we need congressional action requiring that anyone mentioned by the media in any story must have their sexual orientation listed after their name.

Now *there's* an idea!!! ;-)

Perhaps I've been Politically Corrected, though I doubt it- I could care less who you or anybody else sleeps with. It's when it becomes politics that I sharpen the long knives. These scum have co-opted the Lame-Stream media, to all clean-living Americans detriment. They don't get it! America is too tolerant for it's own good in this regard. We are a color-blind society now, the homos fear they're being left behind in the rush for consessions. Shut up and live your lives! America doesn't owe you anything except an equal oppertunity to excell! Get it? Who you sleep with don't mean s*it to a tree! Grow a life for yourself! Self esteem comes from SELF not society! Now shut-up and compete!

[Happygal]

I agree.
As a bone fides Irish `fag hag' (too many gay friends to mention), I find it distasteful to even bring this subject up in this context.
Sexuality is not an issue if you are lying dead under 90 or 100 blocks of rubble. What the hell is the point?

[alnick]

Failed to report that they were gay? Since when is it news who they slept with?

[BluesDuke]

Many mainstream news media have failed to report that some of the more prominent heroes of the Sept. 11 attacks were gay. The omissions lead readers to believe that these people were heterosexual.

As if anyone other than the Peeping Tom type was going to be thinking primarily of who preferred to sleep with whom when done trying to save lives in such an atrocity as 11 September!

[M_Man]

Their lifestyle isn't my concern, I don't partake of sex with strangers, men, or skanks. I don't use IV drugs and don't see myself changing in that regard. When we triumph in this War, then we can go back to finding ways to be offended, in the meantime, I suggest you keep it in your pants, grow a thicker skin and help the USA win this thing! Leave the pin-head-hair splitting to the girly-boy liberal chickens!

[Wissa]

I'd bet that God didn't destroy Sodom because of how the people trimmed their beards or what food they ate.

[horsewhispersc]

Watch yer back cutie! lol

And everybody's sex partner[s?] should be given a flag.

If so, we'll have another flag shortage when Clinton finally shuffles off this mortal coil. One more bit of legacy....

This is nothing personal; I'm just trying to provide some helpful pointers.

Your sentence structures are so convoluted that it's impossible (at least for me) to follow your logic. I've read and reread your post, and quite honestly, I have no idea what you're talking about. Also, please, please learn how to form more sentences that are not comma splices or run-ons. I realize FR is often an informal setting, but your post is painful to read because of these errors. Being more knowledgeable of English grammar would certainly add more credibility to your position.
