Bill would bar state funds used to foster homosexuality
Or, I could have just named this article, “People who deserve Hell”.
Gay people have given much more to this society than we’ve gotten back. We’ve been beaten, killed, taxed like everyone else, but without the same benefits, died for our country in wars - yet given absolutely no credit for even contributing, kicked out of the military and given a section 8 discharge before don’t ask, don’t tell, and a general discharge after don’t ask, don't tell... and all because of assholes like this.
I’m getting to a point that I’m tired of being civil to people like this. They are worthless scum. And you can quote me on that.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. A lawmaker seeking to ban gay marriages also wants to prohibit state money from being spent on any materials or programs that “recognize” or “promote” homosexuality.
Republican Representative Gerald Allen says, “We have a culture that's in deep trouble.”
But Representative Alvin Holmes -- a Democrat -- says Allen’s measure was an unconstitutional form of censorship aimed at enhancing Allen’s standing with the right-wing conservatives.
If the bill became law, public school textbooks could not present homosexuality as an alternative lifestyle, college theater groups would not be able to perform plays like the Tennessee Williams classic “Cat On A Hot Tin Roof” where homosexuality is a theme, and public school libraries could not display books that include lesbianism like Alice Walker’s “The Color Purple.”
Allen says the method of weeding out objectionable material and programs was still to be determined. His bill has been prefiled for action in the 2005 session. (source)

Unfortunately, I can't disagree with you Buck. This is not the country I grew up in and it is not the country that I once loved. Why do I stay?
I stay because I hope that someday, people like I described above will die off and go away, to be replaced with the "younger generation" that I've been told are more "open minded" and "tolerant". Tolerant is a long ass ways from acceptance, but people like I described above would put us all on an island and bomb it if he had his way.
People like him and our current President may turn this country into a shit hole, but I'm not going to make it easy for them to do so.
And yet they see nothing wrong with their churches lining up with their hands out to get our tax money to support their so-called "charity" work that amounts to underwriting their extremist agendas - all flying in the face of the United States Constitution because we have a bozo for President who actually thinks God is talking to him and telling him to bomb innocent people.
I really do hate America - at least what it has become in the past few years - a cultural wasteland of religious freaks and nazis.
