like the ones you believe in? do you think ancient writers were not really describing their world? because that is where we get the descriptions of their societies. from the things they wrote about the world that they knew. whether you like it or not, archaeology is real.

I thought fundies loved to complain about dirty commie lawyers. Huh. Well, I am one. And I've been HIV+ for 5 years. So again, fuck off.

No, you blinkered dipshit. HIV is a global epidemic. The majority of AIDS victims have been heterosexual, and God believers to boot.

cromwell, and goshen, indiana. class of 84', definitely not a liberal place. unlike you, i have an above average IQ, and was encouraged by my teachers to read as many books as i could. i like history. you and yours are the one trying to rewrite it to suit your small minded, religious worldview.

Im pretty sure that no one is surprised that religious school = hypocrisy and I find it a little odd if he is gay and his parents know that (and are cool with it) why he would attend such a school. Its not paid with tax dollars, its their little religious club and Im not sure why he should expect a historically bigoted and intolerant institution to be anything but what they are.

Having said that, there is probably at least one other gay boy at the school and they should see if they can find a matching pair of lesbian 'dates' for a little 'mixed doubles action to blow a bunch of tiny minds.

But as to the larger issue, I certainly dont want the small minded bigoted Talibangelicals telling the rest of us how to live, but in this case, this is their school, their party and there shouldnt really be any expectation that they be reasonable and decent.

Have a great day!

Well, I figured the troll would be deleted eventually ;). I just get tired of, even when the discussion is "gay people get AIDS!!!!", the idea that it's still some kind of immediate death-warrant. It's not. Over a million people in the United States have HIV, and most of us are doing fine. The only reason it's still a problem *anywhere* is because of the lack of access to anti-retrovirals and other drugs, caused by people like that douchebag hedge-fund manager featured a couple days ago.

So yes. Plenty of people have HIV, and most of us are probably more educated than the dumbasses who yell about "sodomites and drug addicts!" spreading it.

As I was scrolling past the ads twixt blog and comments,I came across one for a Curt Custom Fit Class I Receiver Hitch-Fits 2008-Mercedes C-Class and I cursed my rotten fucking luck,because my Mercedes is a lousy 2010 S Class and I have absolutely no use whatsoever for this fine chinese slave labor product. How can I go on living knowing that I have failed to help with our desparately failing economy. At least I know the wonkette got two or three cents for forcing me to read this essential advert.
