Gays need to stop trying to make everyone like us it's not gonna happen what did they expect from some hick from Louisiana who made a fortune out of making hunting material?.
It's not right by any means but we need to be realistic.

Thank you for seeing it how I saw it. I'm not agreeing with his comments, I'm disagreeing with the reaction to it.
And another reason why I dont support the whole suspension is because 1. It just breeds more ignorance. a good reaction to that by GLAAD, wouldve been "Well, you know youre wrong because X, Y and Z... ", because you might be able to convert some people to help your cause. Not "We dont like what he says, fire him!" That doesnt help anybody. (Except GLAAD, of course)
If youre gonna be a Christian and follow the Bible, follow it to the letter, or GTFO. And based on his comments, he pretty much does, and IMO, that's cool, you can't knock a man's religion. I'm not religious, I dont agree with it, but I think a person's religion should at least be respected.
The mofo is in his 60's
My pops is in his 60's so I from experience know youre not gonna change the mind of a person that old lol.
It is possible for someone to have some opposing views and still be friends. What a lot of people don't know is that Chris Broussard and Jason Collins are good friends, as well as Jon Stewart and Bill O' Reilly. **** G4L has cussed me out in this thread a couple times (and vice versa) and he's still the homey lol.
I'm just saying you dont like what he says, boycott. But dont force other people to boycott with you if they don't want to, straight up firing a guy isnt gonna help anything.
Oh no.
