While in Wyoming

I was reading the Douglas city paper and read an editorial and guess what those Wyoming people are up to their anti gay tolerence crap again. The letter that is stiring up the pot stated that a group of twenty somethings were out at the local bar dancing and having a good time. That is when then scandle broke out as people of the same sex began to dance together to fast songs. :shock: Following proper Wyoming tradition the group was made to leave the bar sending the message of no gays allowed here just as other Wyoming people did to a young gay man as they beat him and left him to hang on a fence. The author of the letter did a very good job in pointing out and reminding the general public of Matthew Shepard.

Ok conservatives tell me how right it was for both of these acts and how wrong it is for me to be outraged. Or simply suggest I'm a lesbian and get yourself all smiley thinking you've really slammed me. :roll:

All opinions aside.

It is a major leap of reality to make someone getting kicked out of a bar comparable to murder

Try and get the police to arrest them for murder then. Guess what they didn't commit murder. You still can't make that leap of reality.

Goodness sake man don't you get it? IT's the fact that Wyoming is known worldwide as being the state of a murder that traveled the world news wise. Now a few years later they draw attention yet again over such a silly issue. Does dancing with same sex hurt anyone .....no. Does publicity like this hurt anything.......yeah it just drags up controversy and unthinkable memories.

I didn't say dancing with the same sex hurt anyone, now don't go putting words in my mouth. All I can say is that kicking them out does not equate to murder.

ANd what I am saying is it causes bad publicity in a state that is know for unthinkable acts to gays.

OK so it causes bad publicity. Maybe you should go alert the bad publicity police or maybe even have the government legislate bad publicity :roll:

40 years ago- I was rodeoing back east- and one of the places that held a RCA rodeo was the Painted Pony Ranch-- a dude ranch where all the rich elitist Republicans sent their wives and daughters for two weeks while they played around with their home bimbos-- and there were so many women there (10 to 1) to guys that the women were drooling all over every cowboy there- and many out dancing with each other at the rodeo dance after the rodeo-- but I never complained.. Never heard any of the cowboys complain either- but I don't think any were from Wyoming... :wink:

They don't like homosexuality in Wyoming. They don't have to. Seems pretty simple to me.

If they did the same to bankers would that be ok with you? Beat them, string them up on a fence, leave them for dead? Then go on to discriminate against them?

Careful how you answer because there's lots of ranchers and others who can't stand their bankers....................

If they don't like their bankers, there's other banks to go to.

Who says that people have to like homosexuals? If the good people of Wyoming don't want to put up with them, so be it. Maybe they're sick of "gay rights" and "gay marrage" and all the rest. Just like you feel that incest is a line you don't cross, they feel the same about Bob sticking it in Bill. Common sense says that you don't go where you're not welcome.

Not in a private place where the owner operator agrees with it, it doesn't.

But I wouldn't want the rumor of being a "Gay" bar be attached to my establishment, and I should have that right.

The author was sensationalizing his story to get a rise from the readers. Journalists do that, you know.
