"It would be good if someone remembered her next time we are invited to hate an abstract."

Discrimination hurts -- more so in hospitals - Leonard Pitts Jr. - MiamiHerald.com

Your wife is dying.

One moment everything was fine. You were in your stateroom on the cruise ship -- it was to be an anniversary cruise -- unpacking your things. The kids were in the adjoining stateroom playing with your wife. Suddenly, they banged on the door crying that mom was hurt.

So now you're in the hospital -- Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital -- waiting for word, and it's not coming. They tell you, Joe (we'll call you Joe), you can't be with her. You plead with them, to no avail. No, Joe, sorry, Joe, we can't tell you anything.

One hour turns to two, two to four, four to six. Your wife is dying, and no one she loves is there.

Finally, in the eighth hour, you reach her bedside. You are just in time to stand beside the priest as he administers last rites.

The comments are just amazing in their extremes of compassion versus ignorance.

My first official hate mail

You stupid sodomite sex pervert. All that is saying is that sex perverts like yourself will burn forever in hell fire because you refuse to repent of your sins and obey God. You sodomites sex perverts love to play the victim don't you.

That was the comment from this posting earlier about Right Wing Terrorists

You have to love it, less than 24 hours and already getting a response like that. For those who don't know, the Rev Spitz is one of those publically affiliated with AOG, a hate group who, among other things advocates killing abortion doctors as a form of "self defense". Now, as a gay guy, I don't really have a dog in the fight over abortion, but it does seem to make more sense to let the woman decide what to do with her body than the middle aged white guys in DC. They seem to have enough problems making good decisions about their own bodies (have you seen the median waistline in Congress?)

But to be called stupid by a guy who can't even comprehend the words he'd already used in support of his religion that he contradicts with his own words/actions while exclaiming superior knowledge and an insistence that his dogma is correct is actually rather amusing. If only he realized that I've eaten shrimp more recently than I've engaged in "sodomite sex", he would have known to judge me for the proper transgression.
