The ignorance here is incredible.
First: The reason Flair was rubbed the wrong way by this guy was because of his homosexuality (all allegedly)
Second: So bar's are the place where everyone is allowed to be intolerant of others and basically shit on the premise of this country. "All men are created equal" sound familiar.
Third: A backlash against TNA from the gay community has the potential to bring down TNA as we know it. They can say TNA is misogynistic and intolerant of gays and would ruin TNA.
Fourth: GLAAD has some valid points because they are fighting for human rights. It's similar to the civil rights movement but no where near the same level of oppression.
Lets not forget Matthew Sheppard was killed simply because he was gay. That is why this is a big deal.
Again this is all speculation and could very well be a work.
I find it strange that a man that has become the king of the low blow and even the ball grab might have a problem with homosexuals.
Oooooh big word here, ignorance!
First: (all allegedly)! It's not even worth touching that one.
Second: Interpretation of some other poster's words. Again, not really worth touching.
Third: Bring down TNA. Are you kidding me, really? Some people are making way too big a thing of a little thing (if there is even a thing to begin with).
Fourth: Oooooh GLAAD. We have very little of anything in this situation but we have GLAAD's saintly statement? Didn't think so. Too much ado about nothing and too many people trying oh so very very hard to seem righteous.
Matthew Sheppard, really? Has that got anything to do with the REAL situation? I very much doubt it. I'm pretty sure some poor nameless shmuck got killed for smoking a cigarette on the wrong street corner somewhere sometime but then again he had absolutely no political worth to organizations like GLAAD, so........ you know. Grandstanding, anybody?.
Ahhhhhh, speculation, yes! What this whole thread and most of the splendid arguments have come from. Cute. Know what EXACTLY happened? Nope. Only speculation. In what context? Nope. Again nothing. Do we even know WHERE that happened? Afraid not, so pretty fuckin' hard to speculate on the venue but even if we had any inkling of a hint, does it really matter? I think not.
So, to sum it all up: We don't really know about the what, we have no clue about the why, we are only guessing about the how and can only draw conclusions about the where. Hm, I guess that's just about plenty to start stirring shit, condemning and defending this or that person.
Gotta love this world and the human mind that wanders in it.
PLEASE, PEOPLE! Give it a few days and see if more RELIABLE information comes up before getting your cutesy little panties in a bunch.
P.S: I would like to publicly and solemnly announce that I am white, am straight, have absolutely nothing against anybody whatsoever regardless of anything that constitutes them and may or may not have a cool black/muslim/jewish/communist/homosexual/otherwise different from myself friend.
P.P.S: Get over yourselves! (You know who you are!)
