Why do Republicans apologize for telling the truth?

[DuxFan4ever]

He's right about "The decision makes the university the first public college in the state to extend benefits to domestic partners.", but that gets lost by using the term he used.
Non-married couples and gays getting benefits reserved for married people is ridiculous.

QUEER: Deviating from the expected or normal; strange: a queer situation.

The truth hurts, but homosexuals are, by definition, queer. Being gay is not normal. Even if they ultimately prove it's caused by genetics, it would be no different than any other genetic abnormality, and scientists would look for a cure.

NORMAL: The usual or expected state, form, amount, or degree.

The queers call themselves queers. What's the problem?

After hearing of Roeding's "queers" remark, Senate President David Williams, R-Burkesville, said he called Roeding Friday. Williams said he told Roeding, "Most people feel that is an unacceptable term to use and I regretted the fact that he used the term and that he should refrain from using that term because it's inappropriate."

So why do they gush over the show Queer Eye for Straight Guy?

And what about that Queer Nation bunch?

[kjo]

This is how they GET someone. It's something the liberals have done for a generation. Find an "enemy" wait til they say something that gets splashed in the media and go in for the kill.

Sickening, but it usually works.

[Calpernia]

Only queers can use the term queer :P

I guess it is like the whole N-word thing. Only the oppressed party can use it and be proud of it.

A lot of the queers use that word to describe themselves and other queers, just like black rappers call each other niggers.

I don't see a problem with the word.

Why is it deemed acceptable to refer to homosexuals as gays but not as queers?? Seems to me the homosexuals have indoctrinated most Americans into using politically correct terms?????

There IS no problem with the word queer. It still means odd, out of the norm.

Log Cabin Republicans IMO are homosexuals who chose to infiltrate the party just as homosexual priests did the Church. They are not Republicans when they espouse extremists, liberal, social engineering terms and support activist agendas.

I said to my black friend Raphael once, "I don't say 'nigger,' why do you?" And he said (with his dry wit), "You'd better not, or you'll find your @ss hanging from a tree."

[no dems]

Well, Blacks call each other the "N" word; but don't you try it.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Why do Republicans apologize for telling the truth?

It's standard operating procedure for liberals to force Republicans to apologize. Number one, it demoralizes conservatives. Number two, it gives liberals themselves the green light to further bash the Republican in question.

I just wish Republicans, when they make these statements, to make them & disregard liberals who want them to apologize.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

They call themselves queers. This is what you call a set-up-condemnation. They use the term but label others who use it as inappropriate. Even if that were not the case (it is), when you make your claim to fame founded on an unnatural act, you shouldn't be surprised if someone somewhere uses the term queer. It is unusual, abnormal, different, queer.
