Sigh

Post by Lalanae »

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=s ... 0606173244
WASHINGTON (AFP) - Homosexual employees of the US Department of Justice (news - web sites) have been forbidden to hold an annual "Gay Pride" event at the department's headquarters, a gay DoJ employee said Friday.

Attorney General John Ashcroft (news - web sites) "will not allow us to hold our annual pride ceremony in the building," said Melissa Schraibman, who works in Justice Department (news - web sites)'s tax division.

The Justice Department has held gay pride events at the Department headquarters annually since the early 1990s, when Bill Clinton (news - web sites) -- a gay rights supporter -- was president and Janet Reno (news - web sites) the US attorney general.

In 2002 Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson, the most important DoJ official after Ashcroft, was at the event. Thompson's presence however resulted in sharp criticism from influential conservative groups.

The event, organized by a group of gay employees known as the "DoJ Pride" -- using the acronym for the Department of Justice -- had been scheduled for June 18.

The group includes several hundred homosexual DoJ employees.

The cancellation "is definitely a surprise," Schraibman told AFP. All the preparations for the event, to be held in the Department's main hall, had already been finalized.

According to Schraibman, the prohibition is "in accord with a new department policy that prohibits commemoration unless it is supported by a presidential proclamation."

"This is something we have never heard of before," she said. "It doesn't exist in writing yet."

Schraibman said that other groups of DoJ employees -- including those belonging to ethnic or special interest groups -- continue to use the Department building as a meeting place.

"It's certainly a discriminatory position," Schraibman added.

A Department of Justice spokesman, contacted by AFP, refused Friday to comment on the issue.

The son of a Pentecostal preacher, Ashcroft has long been an outspoken social conservative, opposed to abortion and gay rights, and supporting the death penalty and few restrictions on gun ownership.
Wasn't it the Justice Dept who had Franklin Graham speak at their Easter service?

Well at any rate, this kind of thing is completely unacceptable. I'm tired of these religious conservatives using their positions in government to blur the line between church and state.

WHO GIVES A FUCK IF SOMEONE IS GAY


WHY .. I STRESS WHY do they need to FLAUNT it around. They need speical time to hold parties for it? When was the last time you seen some Gov party, for " Yes we like the other sex " party?Do gays have to have a party to feel good about themselves?

Give me afucking break

I agree about the people bluring the lines of church and state. But to throw a fucking party just because people are gay, inside a tax paid building,while being paid has no standing with me what so ever.

Homosexuals are one of the, if not the most, discriminated against people in America, as well as most of the world. Who gives a fuck if they're gay? The problem with that comment is, a lot of people do give a fuck, and not in a way that would be beneficial to homosexuals. Maybe this party is a way for them to feel good about themselves as it's one of the few official places they can come together and not worry about the thoughts and actions of those that would speak out against their preference. I think this cancellation is a big kick in the teeth for them, epecially:
Schraibman said that other groups of DoJ employees -- including those belonging to ethnic or special interest groups -- continue to use the Department building as a meeting place.
It sickens me that their would be massive uproar if other ethnic and special interest group's events got cancelled, but if a once a year Gay Pride Ceremony that's been held since the early 90s gets cancelled, it's perfectly fine.
Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong:
THIS is the way the world ends.

because gay people are discriminated against a lot of the time, so it is nice for them to be able to have days when they can feel good about themselves with people that share their sexual orientation.

it is the same thing with women, and with minorities.

being the middle class white male that you are it is virtually impossible for you to understand that though.

I agree with the authorities shutting down this stupid demonstration. They should call these things Idiot Pride Day because that's what all those gays and lesbians truly are. Not idiots for having that sexual preference, but Idiots because they feel compelled to force their affliction on society.

How are they forcing anything on society? They aren't. You are just exhibiting your homophobia for all to see. And we all know where homophobia comes from...

And by the way, "sexual preference" and "affliction" are contradictory words, so try harder next time to make your post less nonsensical.

No your wrong. Have you lived in Orlando? Every single school I had gone to I was the minority. Either it was 70% spanish, or 60% black along with the teachers. I knew how it feels to be the "fewly numbered". I can only recall a quiet a few times that my race played in to anything "bad" happening muchless good.


Its the point of having parades and "Gay Pride" parties I do not agree with. By no means do I hate or dislike gay people,but I dont like the fact they do indeed flaunt it,or try and push their ideas on people.Just like Ashcroft,he wants things how he wants it, he does it and ends up forcing his own "following gods rule" bullshit. Gay people have rallys to try and explain for themselves. When in point the world is around 80% really dont care if your gay, or not. They close downtown Orlando for a gay parade for 2 days. Why? I havent seen a " Ive fucked a white chick parade", or a " Im a white person parade". If that happend, it would be labled as racest,distasteful,white trashish. Yet black people can hold "million" man parades, and gays can have prades.
*Im pulling that out of my ass, as I see hardly anyone who hates gays in all my times of being around people*

Your remark about women isnt totally on base. Not only have women entered the work force and have done a lot better than men in most areas. They also hold key positions, a majorty of the time in a work force.Or are a demanding presence in person. Maybe it really is diffrent up where you live, yet I havent seen where woman,or gays are held back or looked down on. I can understand the point where people dont think women dont belong in a area of work. My boss where I work is a woman, I get some guys who go to me and says " she doesnt know what shes talking about" but thats rarely.And 9 times out of 10, shes right and they are just wrong and I let them know that.

I can think of many things that aim at me, as a white middle classed male, and it has. It all goes around in some ways, by stupid ass people. Im just lucky they are the minioty. Seriously, if you dont feel good about yourself, because of the sex,color, or sexual prefrence is maybe you need to think of the reasons why you do somethings. You need help in the head, to allow some backwoods dumbass to bring you down.

Shit happens to ALL of us. Fuck it happens to Americans now since were labled " Bush kids". Think I like Bush? Fuck no, yet im clumped in with his bullshit and "hated" in many countries. And I feel no need to move out of my country to become unamerican, so people like me. I could careless if people like or hate me. I will always feel good about myself no matter what, and so should everyone else.

Unlesss of course I grow a 3rd arm.

No one is pushing ideas onto you unless you are too stupid to think for yourself, which is what you are implying by saying so.

Its all about ACCEPTANCE, letting people know that being gay is nothing to be ashamed of. You are OBVIOUSLY one of those who think it is because of your own issues. The fact that you are so threatened by gay people celebrating the fact that they can NOW be open about who they are, make you a fucking homophobe.

Which usually means you have unresolved unconcious homosexual desires.

Your attacking me? I really hope you rethink all I had said.Im more than willing to open a can of worms for ya.

Your right no one is not pushing ideas on to me. Im a much better person to allow someone to do that. Yet throwing parades, and parties just because your gay? Thats a lil fucking overboard.My whole thing is vs. people that want to throw any parade for ANY sex,race, or what god they believe in. Do it in your own places, or areas. Not on public streets,or gov buildings.


Try and debate and not attack.And next time state who you were talking to.

i think it comes down to the fact that sexual preference is something arbitrary, like, having a brown hair pride march, its silly

where i like to stick my dick has no bearing on who i am, what i do, my morals, my religion even, and frankly, its no bodies business

my stomach turns everytime i see a 'gay lifestyle' commerial, or something 'advocating' equality in teh workplace, in a spew of seperatist bullshit

gay pride, black pride, white pride, affirmative action,

allthose terms are anti-equality in the fact that theyre seperatist notions

you cannot have equality by singling out 'types' , esp if its self imposed in those situations

theres this commercial thats airing down here(miami), thats pro-women i nteh workplace, and it literally uses lines like 'women bring creativity', 'woman come willing and able to suceed',

wtf is that?, do men not do those things?, are women 'better' at them? , what is the commercial trying to say?

ill close with one of my favorite stories, back when i first went to college, i was in a work/study program(it was a local expensive school)in the library the summer prior, there i met this girl and we would just shoot the shit,
i believe this was around affirmative actions high time, but she was telling me this story that happened to her father some years ago

her father owned some big factory of some kind or another, and the affirmative action people kept coming around asking him to stop work for a census, he kept telling them that they were too busy atm to do something like that
this went on for some time till they finally showed up with a court order
work was shut down, everyone filed out and was counted/etc...
at the end, her father asked the AA people if he had enough black people etc...
they told him he needed a minimum(i dont remember the exact numbers) of 25 employed there, he had 33 employeed,
he immidiately turned around, pointed to the last 8 that were counted, and simple said " youre fired "

in the quiet library backroom i almost stood up and cheered

I would only get mad at a gay pride parade if it was in my way of going somewhere. Other than that, I have never seen one, heard of one around me, or anything like that. So I could really give a shit about it. Now if I have to circumnavigate around the city just to get across the street be it for gay pride or girl scouts, I'll be pissed. Maybe I am just anti-parade, if it effects me.

I dont know. You were saying as a white middle class male. I wouldnt know what its like to be discriminated as a minoity, so I wouldnt get it. As I stated, I have been in a minority in schools, and work places.I dont see how you just assume I havent been.

Whether or not you think middle class white males have it rough, it was still a discriminatory statement. Well, I think members of (insert Kyoukan's social class here) don't have it very hard, so they must all discriminate against Gays, Blacks, Hispanics, and every other minority I can think of. I don't think they could ever comprehend the meaning of toleration and equal rights!

Note: I am all for gay rights, I just find Kyoukan's gross overgeneralization of a social class' mindset ridiculous.

You have an awfully broad view of what a discriminatory statement is. All I really said is that a middle class white male will never be able to understand what it's like to be truly discriminated against on a broad scale. The fact that a white went to a school where they were technically a minority at that school does not really mean very much. You can get out of that environment and go to another school, or you can just wait it out and graduate and then go back to the white male's world where you can get a job doing anything you want at any company you want without fearing that your race will be a factor your entire life. If you are a racial minority, you can't get away from that.

um, so because someone is average middlge age white guy, discrimination against them 'does not mean very much' ?
and they can just like, ... go somewhere else?

what about minorities in this statement, cant they all just go back to theyre land of origin, or areas where theyre not the racial minority?

Kyoukan, just curious, did you get this insight on your own or was it through discussions with your fiance (who if I remember correctly is black). It's pretty much on point is why I ask and I don't come across too many white people that share this point of view (you are white, right?).

yes because clearly I can't form opinions for myself and rely on others to do it for me.

my fiance is black, he is jamacain and haitan. he has led a very priviledged life in a country where minorities aren't discriminated against nearly as much as they are in the USA and Europe.

if I am the first person you've ever talked to who thinks white males on average have it a _LOT_ better than other people in this society then you need to fucking get out more.

Re-read what I said, I said I don't run into TOO MANY, I did not say you were the first. See the difference? There is no hope for you, humanity has left you far behind. Maybe you can crawl underground and start a new breed of mole people like in the movie Time Machine. At least you would have something to look forward to in the future. Yea, go do that and spare us. Jeez why do I even bother replying to you even more, lately you have been spewing nothing but useless crap from you man pleaser.

No group should be using a public building intended as a place of wrok for demonstations or seperatist gatherings, period.

Doesn't matter if the group is Gay Pride or Mothers of Multiples, the concept is jsut damn silly.


The idea of using a building belonging to the DOJ for such a thing is beyond ludicrous. The law is blind to color, creed and sex, yet we have DOJ buildings being used for the promotion of seperatist groups?

Vor,


I've talked to Mr Ashcroft in the past. My impression was if the discussion wasn't about him, he didn't have a lot of interest.


I doubt he is going to waste any time hunting me down. :D

A test, please read:


Kyoukan's arguement is simply that a middle class white male will never be able to understand what it's like to be truly discriminated against on a broad scale. We as white males in the middle class really have not suffered the hardship 'en masse' that most other minorities have suffered. I mean, does any white male here feel that their race will be a factor for their entire life?

Now please read down.






















































The two main points I approched were Kyoukan's, in fact basically cut and pasted from her words. If you just got it, that is because you are discriminating against her. ;)

On another note, I am all for freedom of choice as far as gay vs straight, but I agree with Raist that it does not need to be advertised to me, as I do not give a shit.
Bujinkan is teh win!

We had an argument? More than that, you think I lost it? What happened to the verbal raping I was promised, I am getting jipped here. Debate, rofl. I did not enter a debate, all I did was belittle you, I must have touched a nerve, either that or your boyfriend is stepping out the door as we speak.

Masteen, what does NA mean in your post, I don't get it.

-edit oh ok, North America, I have to get my brain back into gear after shifting into first to argue, cough, *debate*, with Kyoukan. I was dumbed down but I am back on track now sir.

Sorry, I meant I was having a debate, and you were spewing stupid moron bullshit as usual and then you started the attacks on my personal life like you have a fucking clue.

I mean, yeah I could go off and call you a glad handing uncle tom and expouse publically about how a woman could possibly stay married to a man with absolutely no spine, zero dignity and zero pride, but I don't really bother because a) you aren't really worth my time, and b) you really don't why you are such a failure of a person.

Special interest groups should NOT be using government facilities, there is no exception nor excuse for permitting it. This includes Scouts, Churches, Specific Race, Specific Sexual Orientation, Specific anything.

Keep your personal life personal and your work life work.
Are you a fucking idiot or did you just not even bother to read the article?
Schraibman said that other groups of DoJ employees -- including those belonging to ethnic or special interest groups -- continue to use the Department building as a meeting place.
He didn't say that's what's happening. He said that's what he thinks should happen.
