Savage words from Mr. Weiner
I don't like a woman married to a woman. It makes me want to puke. How's that? I want to vomit when I hear it. I think it's child abuse. ....I want to puke when I hear about a woman married to a woman raising children because, frankly, I think that it's child abuse to do that to children without their permission. What does a child know? Ask them when they're 16 whether they want to be raised by two lesbians or two men. What are the two men doing behind the other wall? You think the children don't hear it?
These are the words of one Mr. Michael Savage, or as we like to call him: "Warm-Hearted Snuggle Bear." This was his reaction to Melissa Etheridge's acceptance speech at the Oscars (in which she thanked her wife Tammy), which he voiced on the 2/26 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show. And if the above wasn't gay hate-inspiring enough for ya, Savage then went on to share this exchange with a caller:
CALLER: My wife was sitting on the couch with our 7-year-old daughter when Etheridge got up and did her piece thanking her wife and four kids, and our daughter looked over at our -- at Mom and said: "Was that a man?" And how do we answer our kids when we're forced to [sic] -- this homosexuality upon us?
SAVAGE: I will tell you how you answer it: You say there are people who are sexually confused, who think that they're men when they're women. They're not normal. Normal people are not like that. Normal people are like Mommy and Daddy. Mommy and Daddy are normal. There are people who are not normal, who have a confusion in their head, and they think they're a man even though they look like a woman. That's what you have to say to them otherwise the child will grow up confused.
A real mensch, this one! Seriously, if that viewpoint is "normal," then this writer is quite happy to be "queer."
