My ultra Conservative aunt sent me this.

I am so disgusted. Should I email her back or ignore her.

[UndertheOcean]

1. wow , just wow

email that bigoted poor excuse for a human , with a brain smaller than an ape , and tell her to go fuck herself ,ok

[Dissent Is Patriotic]

2. Sorry, but I wouldn't label her ultra-consevative,

that's too kind...i think i would call her a bigoted brain-washed zealot.

[anniebelle]

3. That's just plain scary. Your aunt needs serious

professional help. People like that are just too ignorant to enter a voting booth, much less be out amongst the rest of us.

[N4457S]

15. That Being Said...

...Ohio is full of these kinds of people. Just loaded.

As bad as the economy is and as bad as the last Republican governor was, they went for a pro-gun, anti-choice Democrat (Strickland) who also happens to be a licensed psychologist and an ordained minister. That tells me a lot about the place.

If you looking for these people to put Barack Obama in office, you're wasting your time.

[dsc]

18. Strickland is pro choice

The only place he deviated was on partial birth abortion otherwise he is totally pro choice.

[Maddy McCall]

4. Pardon me if I doubt your authenticity.

[ccharles000]

5. I came out to a cousin two days ago and she told my aunt.

Now my aunt keeps sending me emails like this.

[w13rd0]

7. Tell your aunt that you don't appreciate her...

...judgemental demeanor, and that you will no longer accept email from her as it seems she is satisfied with seeing the charactiture her right-wing whackjobs tell her to see rather than the nephew she's know for years. And then block her email address and avoid her at every opportunity. It will save you the stress of bothering, and it will torment her knowing there's an honest to gosh "sinner" she can't act all holier than thou with. Jack Chick is poison.

[last_texas_dem]

6. That's messed-up

Oh yeah, and that story about Lot seemed to be censored a bit... IIRC, didn't Lot offer his daughters up to the Sodomites to be raped just so the (male) angels wouldn't be? Great family values there, I'd say. :sarcasm:

[China_cat]

10. And even that's screwed up.

Since angels are supposed to be NON-gendered.

Oh and remember...Lot also impregnated his daughters. Both of them. His excuse was that they got him drunk and had their way with him without his knowledge. (I've never known a guy yet who could get -that- drunk and still get it up.)

[Epiphany4z]

8. ahh a good ol chick track

when I was a kid they used to drop them in our trick or treat bags....they are in general always that bad or worse.

[alphafemale]

9. Well you could have fun on this site I bet.

[boobooday]

11. I had no idea

That gay people had a plan to round up and imprison all the straight people!

God, that thing goes on and on . . .

[blayne]

23. I had to stop reading it about half way through.

[racaulk]

30. Yep, it's part of our secret Gay Agenda.

Sssshhhhh...don't let the straight people catch on. ;)

[SacredCow]

31. Aw, dude!!!

You're telling our secrets on teh internets!!!! Next, you'll be telling them about the gay-ray to convert them all!!!

:spank:

[racaulk]

33. Oh great, good job!

I can't believe you just spilled the beans about the gay-ray!!1! You know that was a hugh top secret1!!11!

Note to self: Don't invite SacredCow to any more Gay Agenda committee meetings.

:hi:

[SacredCow]

35. There is no gay ray...

And these are NOT the droids you're looking for...

SUPERTELEVANGELISTIC SEX-AND-DRUGS PSYCHOSIS

13. "You'll be on the winning side."

So much hate. x(

Their god is a petty, vindictive small thing. Let it eat them.

[MikeE]

16. Cut the psyco out of your life...

...if you feel you can. When I came out in the early 80's in Ohio it was even more hostile. Since then we've come a long way. Don't waste your energy on this. It is really not worth it. In fact, I see this as a positive. When you project the energy of being confident and comfortable with who you are, that energy draws the correct people to you, and also gets rid of the people and things that don't belong in your life anymore. Sice you took the positive step of comming out to someone, the Universe is taking the next step for you. :hug: :yourock:

[iamahaingttta]

17. Ah yes... Chick Tracts! Comic Books for...

psycho christian brain-dead idiots!
They are always good for a laugh.
Too bad your aunt is such a horrible person.
I wouldn't try to change her mind, she doesn't have one.
Just write her off, ignore her and never speak to her again.
Sorry... but that's the only thing you can really do.
The best revenge is to live well!

[jmowreader]

19. I didn't know gay men called the people they were married to "wives"

I've read Leviticus 18--which is all about how to make lots of healthy little Levites without getting killed yourself.

These are the sexual restrictions in Lev. 18, the people and things you will not screw:

Your mother
Your father's other wives
Your sister, father's daughter or mother's daughter
Son's and daughter's daughters
Father's sister
Mother's sister
Aunts
Daughters-in-law
Sisters-in-law
Both a woman and her daughter
Your wife's sister
Menstruating women
Neighbor's wife
No offering your children up for immolation to Molech
Same-sex relations
Bestiality

Those are listed in the order they appear in Leviticus 18. By my count, same sex relations appears to be the sixteenth biggest worry the Levite elders had...coming right after telling people not to offer their children up for human sacrifice. (I found a rather interesting piece on this...of course, it was in an anti-abortion screed so there's no link that I will provide. Some outfit went to Mexico to do anthropological research and found 42 skeletons of small children who'd been sacrificed--all of whom had a painful, usually fatal, disease. Could it possibly be that they used human sacrifice as a tool for managing painful, fatal disease? "Sir, your child is going to die, it's really going to be painful for him and it's all because the gods are pissed off at us. If you bring him by on Friday at 3pm we can sacrifice him to the gods. He'll be out of pain, his soul will go to heaven and the gods will be appeased." In an era before they knew how to make painkillers from poppies, "putting him out of his misery" probably sounded like a real good solution.)

I'm pretty sure flying down to the Sex With Underaged Male Prostitutes Capital of the Americas with a suitcase full of Viagra that was prescribed to someone else is covered in there SOMEWHERE.

[canis_lupus]

20. I would put her name on every LGBT mailing list I could find

Everything from PFLAG, HRC and NGLTF to businesses that offer mail-order gay porn delivered to her home and if she said anything about it I'd tell her, "Since you were so generous to share your tracts with me I thought I'd return the favor." Then I would cut her out of my life ... but that's just the kind of vindictive fag I am.

Seriously, though, it's not worth it to waste energy on homophobic relatives. They will either come around on their own time or they won't. For now just remember these words from gay French author Andre Gide: "It is better to be hated for what one is than loved for what one is not."

[davidinalameda]

21. how charming

Jack Chick has a special place in hell reserved him

he has NO idea of God's message of love

[swimmernsecretsea]

22. When I was a goth kid in LA I used to love the sick Chick publications

They need to be either ignored or treated with the humor they deserve. If you've ever seen "Decline of the Western Civilization" by Penelope Spheeris, Exene Cervenka has a great collection of them, and enjoys laughing at them.

[mitchtv]

24. Funny, while it was loading

and there was no print, only colors, I could have sworn it was the flag of the Vatican.

[blayne]

25. Most of the ideas above sound good,

but since she is family, I would go about all of them in the nicest way possible. Especially if you have to see her during the holidays, family reunions, or maybe even more often. Being nice while trying to educate her at the same time will make it more effective, and it won't hurt your relationship with your family. There's always going to be some who don't get it.

If you are across the country and never expect to see your aunt or family again, go for it and tear her a new one. But don't forget to tear your cousin, who told your aunt, a new one while you're at it.

[galledgoblin]

26. hahahahaha, seriously?!

she sent you a CHICK TRACT?! :rofl:

you need to send her something back, particuarly some sort of "remix"... it's free comic book day so I need to run around the corner, but I'll be back around 10 EST and I'll track down something for you!

some people are just that special kind of crazy.

[galledgoblin]

27. ok, here we go

assuming you're serious, I believe the best way to respond would be to buy her a couple issues of Strangers in Paradise: http://www.strangersinparadise.com/

she might not be emotionally mature enough to handle that though...

alternatively, here is a list of links to various jack-chick-is-insane websites:

29. My favorite aunt in

Mississippi did the same thing. She told me she loved me, but was sorry she wouldn't see me in the afterlife......well, I don't expect to be in her so called afterlife anyway, (but I didn't tell her that) and she began to send me all kinds of faith based e-mails. She cloaked it by having a whole list of cc's on the e-mails but that all changed one day when I let loose and replied to all.

The e-mails stopped.

Congrats on your coming out. After awhile the nervousness eases, and peace of mind fills that spot. Respect yourself and be honest.... especially to yourself.

Again Congrats!

Jella

[ronnykmarshall]

32. I'd tell her to fuck herself.

I'm serious. If had (and thank god I don't) had any relative that sent me that shit, I would never speak to them again.

There's not speaking to people like that.

I'd tell her off and block her e-mail if she keeps up the shit.

[racaulk]

34. At second glance, Larry and Charles have a bad case of crabs.

WTF is up with those things crawling all over them? Are they supposed to be demons? ROFL!

As for your aunt, as other have suggested here, tell her to go fuck herself. Someone who would send you something like this obviously doesn't care about or want to understand you, and are happy to wallow in their ignorance. She's not worth your time, and the fact that she's related to you is irrelevant. Love and respect yourself and others will too...in time.

[Zuiderelle]

36. It's ridiculous to the extreme, but so many people actually do feel that way.

scary. The book of life. :crazy:

Oh, and if I were you, I wouldn't speak to her again. If she sent that to you knowing that you are gay, then she hates you. And hate like that must be avoided. There's no changing a mind that would believe in all that hatred disguised as Christianity.
