Rev. Peter Mullen has a lovely piece up on his blog. The champlain of the London Stock Exchange has not only proved that everyone and his mother has a blog nowadays, but that he is a homophobic bigot. He stated that religious people should start clamoring for the queer community to be branded, creating "discouragements of homosexual practices after the style of warnings on cigarette packets". He went on to say, "'Let us make it obligatory for homosexuals to have their backsides tattooed with the slogan SODOMY CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH and their chins with FELLATIO KILLS".
This is how prejudice works. It brands a certain people as less than human, making it okay to hate them or hurt them or advocate for them to be branded with a scarlet letter. I don't know why people still get so surprised when they read about hate crimes/murders. When you allow this breeding ground for hate to flourish, the result can be nothing good. In other words, don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.
