Really DU? So now it's ok for DU to go homophobic?

[Firebrand Gary]

Really?

To suggest that their is no reason for LGBT people to support HRC after her unfortunate Nancy Regan remarks is pathetic, ignorant and homophobic! LGBT people are not supporting Hillary because they feel that she will best carry out the "gay agenda", she is receiving the support because we believe that she is the best all around candidate for the job, including her flaws.

Never thought I live to see the day that I'd see this permitted on DU, it's beyond angering! Especially watching the OP antagonize other people into altering on the post, knowing that Sander's supporters will permit it to stand!

1. It may be pathetic and ignorant,

but homophobic? I don't see it that way.

[DURHAM D]

3. I do. Are you gay? nt

[elleng]

4. No, I'm not gay,

but I think I understand language and public issues.

[DURHAM D]

5. Apparently you don't. nt

[yardwork]

25. She's gone. Thank you to whomever showed her the door.

[George II]

24. It's been lurking for weeks, and Clinton's mis-statement....

..... finally gave some to bring it to the forefront, unabashedly.

[DURHAM D]

2. DU has always had problems with minority issues. nt

[yardwork]

26. That made me laugh out loud.

How are you? Miss you!

[DURHAM D]

28. Good.

I noticed you posted that your kids are Bros. I am disappointed but they are young and you won't mind the free college and canceled loans.

[yardwork]

29. Lol! They'll vote for Hillary in the general.

Probably. Lol.

[leftofcool]

6. LGBT voters are not one issue voters.

This is just poutrage. Ignore, ignore, ignore. Get the hell out of GDP

[NurseJackie]

8. Twelve new BS fans added to my ignore list ...

... and one former HRC supporter joins them. (Goodbye!) Ahhhh ... silence!

[kstewart33]

20. Have you seen the DU home page this evening?

One headline teasing that Hillary may have ordered a murder?

What the hay is happening to DU?

[Firebrand Gary]

10. Yes, thank you leftofcool

I think I've used the ignore feature only once, I will do that now! In fact, I'm going to go on an ignore binge right this very moment!

[yardwork]

31. I fucked up. I forgot and went in their tonight.

[Skid Rogue]

7. I'll let everyone on the board know...

when I decide to let GD-P think for me. lol I trust Hillary. One misspoken tweet does not erase a lifetime of support, not even close.

Don't worry, folks, I don't think she'll lose support over this.

[Firebrand Gary]

15. She's going to gain from it while turning it into a teaching lesson.

[Skid Rogue]

19. Maybe it will open up a discussion on LGBT issues.

Then she can set them straight (no pun intended) on the Clinton record and AIDS.

[Firebrand Gary]

22. How great would that be? We need a larger conversation about it.

[leftofcool]

17. I think you are right.

[liberal N proud]

11. Things have been off the rails for a while now

It was never this bad 08.

If you don't BS, you get a target.

[LisaM]

21. It wasn't this bad in 08

And I never actually thought I'd be saying that.

[FarPoint]

32. You are absolutely correct...

Never felt as if I was in Freeperville back then ad I do now during this cycle of Primary Wars.

[riversedge]

30. No reason to hide the truth. No reason at all. They are always claiming

to know what the truth is-but when it hits them in the face they run from it and demand a hide. Shameful for this to be happening on a Democratic discussion board. Discussion is shut down so often. Many are afraid to speak up for fear of being banned or remarks being hidden. It is not natural.

[MarianJack]

35. I've been here for 13 years and almost 10,000 posts,...

...so I think that my "sin" of loyalty to an actual Democrat would avoid a PPR, since I've usually be pretty positive and rarely, if ever, get into flame wars. I do, however, expect some hides because of the blind loyalty to he who must NOT be criticized, who is running to be the Goldwater/McGovern/Mondale of 2016. Remember, in 1988, Michael Dukakis led all Republicans in March, too. Sanders is WAY too thin skinned to ever be competitive in a national election against actual (not Vermont) Republicans/teabaggers!

PEACE!

[William769]

13. Kick & very highly recommended!

[Cha]

14. Of course they would do that. I'm so sorry, Gary!

[Firebrand Gary]

16. Ohhhhh Cha...

I have to tell you that I am treating myself to ice cream the day Hillary locks the nomination. This ideological craziness happening here on DU is a wild, techie bonanza! It's crazy!

But I'm grateful for good friends!

[Cha]

18. I'm grateful for my friends, too!

Good time to bring that up.

[Skid Rogue]

23. I just glanced at GD-P

So, all Bernie supporters are suddenly LGBT activists? Who'd have thunk it.

I don't know if it's homophobic, but they are using gay issues to promote their own agenda. When she doesn't lose LGBT support over this, I'm sure we'll be under the bus, too.

NOTICE: Any folks who are not under the bus yet, are more than welcome to join us. I'll bring a picnic.

[mercuryblues]

34. They did the

same thing with blacks and women who support Hillary. They are all over black issues. They are even nice enough to tell blacks what to think and how to act when it comes to voting. Women were the 1st under the bus and no one complained. If you vote for Hillary you are voting with your vagina. IOW too stupid to use your brain so you let your vagina think for you. Nothing like reducing a woman down to a body part to gain their support for you candidate.

[yardwork]

27. It's so condescending of straight people to tell gay folks what to think.

I know that other minorities have this problem on DU too.

It's infuriating to have a bunch of privileged whiners tell me that I'm a terrible person for supporting Hillary. I told some of them to back off tonight. Will probably get a hide.

[dlwickham]

33. St Bernard is perfect

he never says anything wrong or does anything wrong or is ever wrong
