This ignorant bias is amazing. People act as if gays are never assaulted in northern states, when just the opposite is true.

Matthew Bryan Rooney was assaulted Jan. 24, 2004, by two men on College Main at Northgate due to his sexual orientation.

Yeah A&M sure is a great school. It's not filled with bigots and ignorant Houston-white-trash at all.

Where exactly did it say they were Aggies? Oh thats right they dont know who it was. You sure do like to generalize College Station and A&M. It doesnt happen as much as you say it does.

There are a lot of minorities in Texas.

White people will be a minority in Texas before 2015. All be it a very large minority. Estimates are 43% hispanic 42% white, by 2015, over 50% hispanic by 2030. Not that I have any problem with those here legally.

I have a friend that goes by the nickname Wink and he smokes pot and kills baby seals with a club. Oviously all people who use that nickname must too. ;)

He also doesnt know about College Station. There are plenty of gay and lesbian students at AMC High School, they like to flaunt the fact too. They dont get beat up.

So that is to say, gays are always assaulted in northern states?

I just can't understand what the fvck brings someone to beat the crap out of someone else for being gay.
Dunno, but I'm going to LMFAO when they finally draw the line and we start seeing headlines like "Man shot 26 times after assaulting gay student; gays flock to firing ranges in record numbers, Republicans now calling for new gun control laws." :D

That's already happening. I forget what they call themselves, but there's an entire community of gay and lesbian gun enthusiasts. Their slogan is "Armed Gays Don't Get Bashed".

If you're one of the stereotypically "angry minorities" this is usually the case. However, if you fit into the model minority role, i.e. Asian, you usually don't have very much trouble. It's quite sad, really.

I read somewhere that Austin is currently approximately 55% white.

Maybe we should test you?

I've been jumped for "looking at a group funny", running my mouth, being small and skinny when I was young, and a couple of other times. Common sense dictates if your outnumbered you stfu and go on about your business or go get some friends to help you out. It has been assumed that the way it went down is how he described it which may or may not be the case. I'll probably get banned but in my opinion homosexuality is an immoral act and should be punished. Maybe we should allow child molestation or incest to become mainstream because those people are "born with" urges to do such things. Maybe they should have parades too.

Edit: Yeah I'm the only bigot in this thread who makes stupid comments and generalizations-

It's not filled with bigots and ignorant Houston-white-trash at all.

Apparently getting your ass kicked for running your mouth earlier didn't do the trick, did it?

Look, I'm not going to dis you or try to convince you... while i haven't had feelings like yours, i have been homophobic to people before, i have been an ass, i have cracked jokes (still do.. sorry, i'm immature), but that was all in H.S. When I went to college (UTAUSTIN), i met a couple of gay people - that, I did not know they were gay. Unfortunately, I'm kinda good looking :D, and so i have been approached by 2 people on separate accounts that later i found out were gay. in any case, i became close friends with one of them. i never slept at his house - yeah, i was scared, i'll admit it, i never changed in front of him, etc... but he was really just a nice, cool guy. one day, you may make friends with a really cool person, and then find out 1 year later - like i did, that they are gay. Will you dis them all of a sudden? I hope not. I hope by the time you are 21, or 22 you will be mature enough to realize that this world is made of different people - and, your pastor isn't always right. Honestly, my gay friends were funnier than my 'straight' friends, smarter (yes, i realize how stupid this sounds, but from my experience, my gay friends were smarter) than my other friends, and just cool. Not to mention, they had hot chick friends :D. i know these may be stereotypes but its actually true too.

anyways, there is a big difference between consenual sex between two adults and child incest/molestation where one party is not fully mature to realize the difference between what is right and wrong. I'm sure i really don't have to explain this to you...

First you assume I got my ass kicked. Secondly you assume I should just sit back and stfu just because my beliefs differ from the liberal majority of people here.
Seriously why are incest, prostitution, polygamy or other crimes based on morality illegal?

SherEPunjab He'll grow out of it. I used to pretend I was homophobic as well because I didn't know any better. I still crack gay jokes. I crack jokes about ANYTHING, but I have nothing against them and the national homophobia across the nation is still the reason why they can't marry.

Oh well. Maybe he won't grow out of it. Perhaps he'll end up in jail for beating up a gay man. Won't he be so cool then. God will surely be proud (to speak of morals in the absolute sense like he did he must believe in something).

First off I'm over 30 and I don't go to church. I know quite a few gay people (one is actually a friend) and have told them that I despise their lifestyle. I'm not quiet about my beliefs. I don't beat them up or constantly ridicule them however I do consider it a travesty that it has become so accepted.

So this guy that you profess to be your friend you think should get his ass kicked by some strangers in public? Would it please you to hear that? If you're so against it perhaps you should kick his ass? I find it unusual that you're friends with a guy who does something you so despise.

His reference is to child molestation which was a somewhat bad example on my part. The others are not so easily contested.
