One Million Moms accuse Home Depot of recruiting kids to be gay

Nashville Gay Community Examiner Don Bradshaw

In the latest issue of One Million Moms online magazine, they have targeted Home Depot of recruiting children to be gay since the corporation gave Nashville five thousand dollars to be a major sponsor at the Gay Pride Festival and opening a kids booth for the purpose of teaching kid’s crafts. Other Home Depots and cities have been accused as well by this fascinating bunch of lowbrows.

Their way of thinking follows that “Home Depot is basically encouraging the attendance of children at events which openly expose them to transvestites, cross-dressers, and homosexual activities.”

I would just like to ask these ladies (and I’ve been doing a lot of asking lately) just where do they think these kids came from? Do they think we pulled out some kind of megaphone and sang a siren song to lure the kids out of their houses, stealing mommy and daddy’s car to drive into town. When they got there, then we somehow “glamored” them like vampires do to recruit them and make them sign papers so that when they are eighteen/twentyone they must come back and be flamboyantly gay! Of course not! Don’t you ninnies have anything better to do with your time. Worry about your own children and their failing grades, obesity, crack labs….ours are busy making leather studs!

All right, I kid! But these are not your kids we are talking about. This was a Gay Pride Festival so there was a booth set up for those gays who might have children or friends and relatives of gays that might have children. And Home Depot was kind enough to be a vendor and hold a workshop for these kids. Shouldn’t you just be ashamed. Take care of what is in your own backyard.

I did a lot of things growing up in a heterosexual family. I went to fairs, festivals, church every Sunday, Bible school, Wednesday night prayer groups…all the things you would love for your kids to do. And guess what? I’m gay. There was no recruiting like I could be tempted with a toaster, an iPod, or something like that. I just was what I am!

So get your Mom jeans out of twist and start living in the real world. No one’s here to recruit your children!

From an English blog:

And here’s tonight’s Top Ten of Stupid Things Republicans Believe In…

Number 10, The Second Amendment makes perfect sense and means you can go grab a burger while toting an antitank grenade launcher

Number 9, God

Number 8, Sarah Palin

Number 7, There is no contradiction in being Pro-Life and pro-death penalty

Number 6, “Mission Accomplished”

Number 5, “The existence of mobile production facilities used to make biological agents”

Number 4, Affordable healthcare for everyone is “socialism”

Number 3, Maintaining the embargo on Cuba is an example of justice in the face of an evil Communist dictator; extensive trading with the Peoples’ Republic of China however is helping them forward on the path towards capitalism

Number 2, The current financial crisis is the result of too much market regulation

And the Number One in tonight’s Top Ten of Stupid Things Republicans Believe In…

Barack Hussein Obama was not born in the United States of America

“Last one in is a rotten egg,” is all I can think to myself concerning the fight for equal rights for Metro County workers when it comes to sexual orientation. Please don’t let Tennessee be the last of the ignorant states that can’t get it’s royal act together when it comes to the protection of its workers. Or we’ll be smelling like a rotten egg.

Council Member at Large Megan Barry has drafted a bill that would seek protection for sexual orientation which is currently off the books. So far, so good. Upon first reading, the bill passed, with the exception of nine men, most vocally, Metro Council Member Robert Duvall.

I’d like to address some of his questions:

* “How do we identify them?…” Probably, you can’t right now, even though most likely some are already your friends. They are not likely to identify themselves until this ordinance is passed, otherwise they’d be a little foolish, don’t you think? This may also disprove the myth that we hit on every straight man walking no matter how decrepit he may look. Or have you been hit on? That would be a good sign. Maybe you’d like to brand us with a scarlet letter just so you could steer clear…..maybe a G, F, or Q. Anyway, you’re a good example of why this ordinance should be passed, because your ignorance on the subject is overflowing. The point is….you don’t really have to know as long as the job is being done to your satisfaction.

* “How do we know if they’re telling the truth?…” This question just baffles me. I really have no idea what Mr. Duvall is talking about, but I guess we could go several routes here. Does he think gay people inherently lie? Well, I’m offended right off the bat with that one. I think, generally speaking, most gays, the out ones, are so truthful it hurts. Or does he think some people might lie about being gay? Hard to believe. Too much baggage comes along with it. You should know that Mr. Duvall, since you’re trying to take our jobs away. And last, but not least, seriously, I don’t know what he means which just goes to show we should all stay out of each others’ bedrooms as much as possible when it comes to work.

* “What if they want to change in the middle?…” Once again, I’m baffled and speechless. Change in the middle of what? The interview? The work year? The work span? Are we chameleons now? Somebody really needs a Sunday school lesson in gay or I need one. The thing is, it shouldn’t matter if we change anything in the middle…like out religious status, our marriage situation, who we sleep with, who we vote for….it’s nobody’s business. As long as I get my work done, I should be able to change my panties in the middle of the day. Yeah, I said panties, if I want to roll that way.

* “And it’s something… you choose this way of life…” Oh really? And when did you choose to become heterosexual Mr. Duvall? If it’s a choice, you must have some stories to tell. Let’s hear one of those for good measure.

Now I know it’s sad we have to have laws like this, but without them too many people are left dangling just waiting to be cut down because of someone’s bigoted beliefs which we should already be protected from. Sadly that’s not the way the cookie crumbles. And of course, the system can be abused, like it does in certain cases, but it’s a far cry from the abuses without the law in place.

According to News Channel 5, Mr. Duvall think this measure/bill is unnecessary and thinks there will be many more “nay votes, but as you see, this bill is needed more than ever. Just look at the questions this man is asking. It’s time to come out of the Dark Ages. Thank the lord for Megan Barry!

Let’s get this law passed. I don’t want to live in a state that smells like a rotten egg…
