61. sk - gay gangs
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (11.03.06)
Stabbings, shootings, mass arrests, are a yearly tradition of the Castro Halloween party. 99% of the partygoers are gay, the gangs involved are all gay. Don't try to weasel out of this. Don't tell me that all gays are pure as the wind drifted snow. The rate of gay on gay domestic violence is much higher than among other populations.

Kyle, I think you're a good guy, in general. On gay issues, though, you're just not rational. The link you originally provided was to the front page of the newspaper. I located the story you must have seen. I read it. I do not know SF all that well, having been there only once, but it is NOT nearly 100% gay, and big events bring people in from all over, not always with good intentions. I am aware of no "gay gangs," but if you have evidence that they exist and that they are responsible, please source it. You are right that the police have no proof yet that the shootings were gang related, but this is what they suspect. To quote the article: "Police said Tuesday's incident began with what Chief Heather Fong called a "stare-down" between about 15 members of a street gang based in the Sunnydale housing projects in Visitacion Valley and a similar-size group from the Lakeview area of the Ingleside district." I don't believe you are deliberately lying anymore, Kyle. I just think you can't see straight on this issue. Regarding all gays being "as pure as the wind drifted snow," I have said no such thing, ever. This is a straw man. Your assertion regarding the rate of gay on gay domestic violence is unsubstantiated. I have read once (years ago, in one source) that lesbian couples have HIGHER rates of violence than either gay male couples or mixed-sex couples, and that the gay male couples had slightly LOWER rates of violence. Yet I also know that lesbians are chronic violence over-reporters, so I don't know if I buy this conclusion. I will go where the evidence points, Kyle. Please do the same. OK?

No, no, no, Kyle. I meant that gays should be prepared to kiss each other! (Or maybe you were just misreading me to get a laugh?)
67. vandalism/pride parade
Daniel ,   New Oleh to Tel Aviv   (11.04.06)
Vandalism is criminal. Stone throwing is criminal Stabbing peaceful parade goers is criminal. Assualting police officers is criminal. Police brutality is criminal. All these things should be punished to the full extent of the law. That said, peaceful protest marches are a legal and viable means of expression to bring public and political attention to issues; be they gay issues or religious ones. Jerusalem is a political capital Jerusalem is a religious capital. How does one resolve political secular issues that are counter-intuative to religous beliefs? If the haredim and other people who oppose the Gay Parade have a viable suggestion I would like to har it. I have heard move the parade to Tel Aviv, but this is not the political capital of Israel. Would any Jew religous or secular want to make that change? I for one would not. Therefore, where should people who are wanting a political/social parade hold it in Jerusalem so they can exprss themselves?
68. Kyle's Gay Gangs
DP ,   DC   (11.04.06)
I would be terrified if there were such a thing as "gay gangs." They might run around doing make-overs or putting a "Queer Eye" on things! My G-D! Clothing would have to match and being out of fashion might get you knocked down on the street....Even in SF gay gangs are a ludicrous idea. Not that there are no gay people in gangs or that gay people are "pure as the drifted snow," but it is very unlikely that gay gangs had anything at all to do with the SF Halloween violence
69. Gay Parade
Dwain ,   canada   (11.04.06)
Let them all go and parade in Iran.
70. Pride Parade
Arthur ,   Miami Beach, FL, USA   (11.04.06)
#67 Yasher Koach from a future oleh
71. Ban the gay march!
Ben Aharon ,   Jerusalem   (11.04.06)
These "liberals" are not only pervets and provocators but also antisemites of worst kind.
72. Let Dwain (69) parade in Iran.
sk ,   USA   (11.05.06)
Duh. Have fun Dwain. Hope you're not killed for being an Infidel.
73. Ban Ben Aharon (71) from Jerusalem!
sk ,   USA   (11.05.06)
He's nothing more than a "pervet."

Calling Israel a theocracy doesn't make it so. While the rabbinate may have more power than it ought to, fortunately, they don't run the country. Sorry, but you clearly don't know the definition of a theocracy.
75. To No. 45, Adam
NYC Girl   (11.06.06)
If Israel really were a theocracy, you can bet that the majority of Israelis would have gotten the hell out of there by now.
76. how evil these homosexual gays are
Frank ,   San Diego, US   (11.07.06)
An ultraorthodox man stabbed several gay people at a gay pride march in Jerusalem last year. Does that prove that all Jews are evil?
