AmeriQueen wrote: I don't know why I am sharing this with the board. I guess because this is a Queen board and it seems an appropriate place. I am 31 years old and until a year ago, I always had a bad relationship with my mother. Yesterday, she fucked things up by sending me an e-mail with an attachment that is fucking pathetic. The attachment pretty much says(something which my mom agrees with) that there was an upcoming gay demonstration/parade in New Orleans this weekend. The point of this shit is that "God fucked up New Orleans to punish gay people for having whatever event this was." My mom actually believes this shit. It is embarrasing to share genetics with someone so homophobic and ignorant. It's more sick that religious fanatics would blame gay people for a destructive natural event. It was ironic that my mom sends me this trash on Mercury's 59th B-day. I just feel like saying, though I am not gay in the slightest, I feel bad for any gay people out there who run into this sort of disgusting, hateful association of homosexuality being linked with evil. I personally find gayness(male at least) a disgusting act, but not only none of my business but also nothing in which I am in any way able to rationally judge or pass any moral opinion on. Gay people need to be left alone to live their lives anyway they want to, so long as they do not affect, harm or otherwise hinder any other human being. My mom comes from an ignorant, backwards upbringing which has tainted her, but I will never judge anyone on their sexual orientation. Sorry for this personal post, I just find myself to be an agnostic whose most faithful thoughts in a god of some kind existing come from the belief that some of the world's beauty seems to amazing to be a part of science or some chaotic accident. The irony is that the top creation that gives me holy thoughts is that of Queen's music. "How could music like Queen's be just a part of a world where all is science and random, godless creation." Her sending me such a hateful e-mail made me feel sad that there are still some twisted fucks out there that not only spread their hate but try and convince themselves, much less us, that there is a god that is willing to destroy a great city just to take out his aggressions against gay people. This kind of shit deserves thought, not because of any realism, but because of the realism that there are sick bastards out there who think this way. Down with organized religion and all people who try and spread this human disease to others.

According to Fred Phelps, god (lower-case g) hates gays, America, New Orleans... anyone who agrees with that ought to get a solid kick in the nuts. If god honestly hated homosexuals and other queers, we wouldn't be around today. Think about it. If god honestly hated everyone the Bible claims he hates, why are we here? And even the biggest, right-wing Christian isn't automatically "safe from wrath" because people like Phelps are protesting Matthew Shepard's funeral and high school gay/straight alliances. And then there are those who watch children's programming and wig out because Tinky Winky and Spongebob are gay (My arguement is that they teaches children tolerance). "God is a loving, wonderful creator who has done so much to make humankind and life truly great. He doesn't judge anyone and can forgive anyone because he is so powerful... But us followers of god hate your ass and we're going to blame every bad thing on gays, foreigners and non-Christians!" - The Bible-Beater creed
