Why am I not surprised that the first line in her lj bio is "My Name is Andrea and I am a Christian that loves God with all of my heart," but the second one is "I will not be tolerant...."
On behalf of my entire state, I apologize. Heck, I'll even apologize on behalf of the cows, the pigs, and the corn and the soybeans while I'm at it; after all, I suspect that a bushel of soybeans could probably out-argue her.
Oh, man. The memories! I was taking a Current Events "discussion" elective in my senior year of high school and one girl quite honestly believed this. The teacher's expression of dumbfounded shock when he clued in that she meant it is one I badly wished I could have caught on film. He had thought she was kidding. She thought he was making fun of the rest of the class by pretending to think she was kidding. Or something. Ironically, said girl was well known for smoking a blunt before homeroom every morning. Wonder if that was advised in the bible. Anyway.
Yikes. I mean, even if you go with the modern idea of "gay" of an identity with a movement (rather than people just having same-sex sex), that existed by then. Like here in Germany gay rights activists published books arguing that it was natural to have homosexual sex in the 1860s, and there were public demands to decriminalize m/m sex and even for same-sex marriage etc. There were organizations with records, publications and petitions in parliament, sexuality research being done and published, so it's not as if the gay movement was all invisible or underground by the late 19th century or some kind of backwards projection.
omg, *that* is what all the tweets have been about ! i've seen them pop up but have been busy with something else and haven't really been following how the thread was running. I think I love hubbit and need to go friend him.
