What's this, the third time this same bit of idiotic propaganda has popped up?
"
there were other gays and lesbians who, like her, frequent shooting ranges and are card-carrying members of the National Rifle Association."
Which National Rifle Association is that, I wonder. This one?
"Reno, Nevada-- The National Rifle Association, holding its annual convention in this dry desert city, took an opportunity Sunday to
demonize the gay and lesbian community with inflammatory homophobic rhetoric.
Anti-gun talk show host
Rosie O'Donnell was called a "freak" by one speaker for her recent admission that she's a lesbian. O'Donnell had a much publicized disagreement with pro-gun actor Tom Selleck in 1999 on her talk show. Selleck walked off the show during taping over O'Donnell's remarks.
Debbie Schlussel, a frequent guest on The Howard Stern Show and an avid supporter of the NRA referred to O'Donnell when she said, "She's not cool. She's a freak." Schlussel went on to bash actor Jude Law who recently admitted in an interview that he hesitated to handle a gun in the filming of his latest movie fearing it would contribute to people thinking guns were cool. Schlussel referred to the heterosexual Law as a "girly-man".
Kelly Anne Conway, a conservative pollster, droned on for some time about how the "liberal" media has forced
changes in the public school curriculum that put gay and lesbian tolerance ahead of the basic studies of math, English and History. "They're so worried now about how many mommies Heather has that (the teachers) run out of time" Conway went on to state venomously that
gay and lesbian issues aren't important to "real" Americans.
Grover Norquist, an NRA Board Member and columnist for American Spectator Magazine, not to be outdone, put forth the barb; "we don't have annual parades for gun owners so everyone can appreciate that gun ownership is an alternative lifestyle and look at how great we are." He also quipped that
liberal Americans "don't want (men) to date women." "
http://gaytoday.com/garchive/events/050102ev.htm And so these gay NRA members put together a list of people they hate and want to boycott...and out of that whole bigoted pile of tripe,
the only one that landed on the "Pink Pistols" hate list was the only openly gay person named.The wonder isn't that it's another phony piece of crap from the gun rights crowd (which also has a phony doctors group and a phony law enforcement group), but that it is so transparently so.
