As the protesters at Albuquerque’s Pride Parade this year were a sign that it’s getting big (that better have gotten a laugh out of you, K), I get my own little signs about the popularity of Daily Dose of Queer.

Like these comments on “We choose not to work for homosexuals”:

For some people men sticking their penises into each others bottoms turn some people off. If that doesn`t float there boat why should they have to go do landscaping for people who do things they do not like. I suppose they should have to perform landscaping for pedophiles based upon your logic.

More power to them. If they don’t want to deal with queers – or anyone else for that matter – they have the right to refuse.

The First Amendment says we have freedom to associate. As I understand it, it means we can choose to associate, or choose NOT to associate, with whomever we please.

Some folks choose not to associate with fags. That is their right.

And this one on “Chief Rabbi Speaks Against Jerusalem Pride March”:

I cannot find words to express my utter disgust at this filth that is being perpetrated by so-called human beings. Sodomy is a vile filthy sin. My prayer that God will certainly bring judgement upon this whole scenario as a warning to a whole sick world.

May all those trapped in the chains of sodomy find deliverance, forgiveness and reconciliation.
