the urban fervor

daveholmes:

I mean SERIOUSLY. Given a choice between:
1) supporting an entirely uncontroversial speech that decried the state-sponsored KILLING AND IMPRISONMENT OF INNOCENT PEOPLE FOR THEIR REAL OR PERCEIVED SEXUAL ORIENTATION (which of course no GOP presidential hopeful would dare, because it was Hillary Clinton doing the speechifying and all of these people are children), or
2) saying nothing,
Rick Perry went to his tool shed and BUILT door number three, which is OPENLY SYMPATHIZING WITH THE PEOPLE WHO KILL AND IMPRISON INNOCENT PEOPLE FOR THEIR REAL OR PERCEIVED SEXUAL ORIENTATION, and then opened the fuck out of it in about 9 seconds.

Rick Perry said: “There is ground to be gained in this race for THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA by presenting myself as someone who OPENLY SYMPATHIZES WITH THE PEOPLE WHO KILL AND IMPRISON INNOCENT PEOPLE FOR THEIR REAL OR PERCEIVED SEXUAL ORIENTATION, so I’d better hurry up and grab that spot.” And maybe not figuratively!

Man oh man. I am not prone to statements such as these, but: Rick Perry, you are a baboon. And any conservative who thinks gay people should be ALLOWED TO REMAIN ALIVE- to say nothing of actual gay conservative groups like Log Cabin and GOProud, whose silence is the loudest thing I’ve ever heard and I have seen My Bloody Valentine live- y’all better start speaking up RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

THIS. All of this.
