[url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/16/eric-alva-gay-veteran-booed_n_3769805.html]If you're gay, you're still inferior to some people[/url]. Eric Alva, the very first Marine to be seriously injured in Iraq by losing his leg, was booed off the stage just because he was gay. [quote]“Well I just left city council chambers and I feel like crying," he wrote. "I have never seen a city so divided and hateful towards each other. All of mankind should be ashamed. I already spoke and even some of the religious groups even booed me as I spoke. Such disrespect as they preach the word of God."[/quote] This comes directly from the article. Opinions on this?

  • I wish fundies would take the rest of the bible literally instead of nitpicking hateful concepts in order to spread their disgusting agenda. That way no one would take them seriously and they'd disappear fast.
