Fredric L. Rice comments:
When "Dr. Laura" rants about being mad, I couldn't agree more.
She most certainly appears to be. Perhaps the homophobic bigot ment to
say "angry" instead of "mad" in the following hate-
filled rant.
What makes this hate-filled bigot angry is the fact that she's a homophobic
bigot and she's trying to draw attention away from the fact that she's
an adultress, a pornographer, and a fornicator.
What makes her angry is the fact that people like her are finding it
rather difficult to suppress and oppress innocent people any more in the
United States. All these bigots can do is rant and scream in impotent
anger as they watch the objects of their insane hatred and bigotry get
treated as equals -- something that just happens to be an ideal we hold
sacred in the United States (an ideal that Republicans don't seem to
hold dear any more, I might add.)
Leave the United States, Dr. Laura. Spew your hatred and spittle in Iran
where it's more in keeping with your petty little bigotries and embarrassing
delusions.
Dr. Laura:
Barnard College
I'm going to take on Barnard. More than that, I'm going to take on the
gay and lesbian activists because I've had enough of you. Not that this will
keep the activists from misconstruing what I've said, but I didn't say I've
had it with gay and lesbians. I just wanted to make it clear that I am sick
and tired and fed up with the tyrannical power of the gay and lesbian
activists. And most of you people are so gutless to confront it because you
know how they name call and you know how powerful and hostile they can get and
you crumble like Barnard crumbled.
First, a potpourri in the newspapers today. This was in the Los Angeles
Times ' an article by Robert Scheer, a syndicated columnist (so this is
everywhere), supporting Michael Huffington, the Republican Candidate for the
Senate in 1994 who came out as gay. Who cares? I don't care. Arianna knew
and she didn't care. So, I don't care. I feel sorry for his kids and the
fact that they got a divorce. There is a sentence that is a blatant lie and
I'm ready to prove it' Scheer says being homosexual is clearly not a lifestyle
choice designed to interfere with the freedom of others. I contend that's
been twisted into a major interference with heterosexuality which is now the
bad guys automatically.
Listen to what happened at Barnard. It turns out that there are
brochures (Barnard students must not have enough school-work to do if they can
go perusing the stack of brochures that are sent out) and evidently one of the
brochures boasted that the graduates of women's colleges were more likely to
marry and have children than women graduating from co-ed colleges. Well, the
lesbians took offense to this.
It's a fact but facts are not relevant to activist groups ' I am so angry
about this I cannot tell you. Barnard is the sister school of Columbia, I did
my graduate work at Columbia. If I were there now I would be picketing
Barnard for being weenies, wimps and just giving it up, to the pressure of
these lesbians ' I'm really tired of this happening at the university level.
The students saw the statement that the college did not value lesbians as
it valued other students. What kind of moronic crap is that? A Barnard
senior said it was 'a slap in our face.' Huh? It was under the section,
Alumni Achievements, along with the fact that women's college alumni account
for 30 percent of the highest-ranking women in corporations. I'm surprised
the lesbian activists didn't go after that too because aren't corporations the
evil empire? Why didn't they go after that? We don't want that piece of
information out either.
A representative from Barnard said that the real message we wanted to
send is that women can have it all. Ppplllttt! They can have satisfying work
lives and satisfying personal lives and their satisfying personal lives can
come in many different varieties but the lesbians said 'No, this is a smack in
the face to lesbians, we don't get married, you're insulting us.' That bit
that Shear says about not interfering with the freedom of others is damned
well interfering with the freedom of normal, regulation heterosexual people,
or the backbone of humanity. If they're not, then the plants take over the
planet because we're not going to reproduce. We cannot assert that women can
be married, have children, get an education of this superior level without
insulting a few lesbians?
I'm sorry, hear it one more time perfectly clearly: If you're gay or a
lesbian, it's a biological error that inhibits you from relating normally to
the opposite sex. The fact that you are intelligent, creative and valuable is
all true. The error is in your inability to relate sexually intimately, in a
loving way to a member of the opposite sex ' it is a biological error.
People who are gay or lesbian are not to be hated or attacked. I spent
most of my career supporting groups like Parents and Friends of Lesbians and
Gays because I didn't want families to throw out their children simply because
they were gay or lesbian ' they are still decent and functional human beings
or maybe they're not because that indecency goes everywhere. A bunch of guys
having sex after leaving bars with each other is indecent. Likewise, a bunch
of heterosexuals leaving bars with each other and having sex with each other
is indecent. I don't care which way it flies.
I am enraged that Barnard crumbled under this crap. A slap in the face
to lesbians? They have a problem! They have an error. Be kind and
compassionate but don't eliminate the reality of heterosexuality so they won't
feel bad.
Damn! I am so mad. I don't support the activist gays and lesbians
anymore. At the time that I did, I was supportive of the reality of gay and
lesbianism and supportive of families embracing their family members and being
kind and compassionate. I was warned about this and I ignored it. See what
the activists do? They take it to the point where they want to bury
heterosexuality as hetero-sexist now. I am hetero-sexist because I support
marriage between a man and a woman.
I'm hetero-sexist because I think the best opportunity for a child to
grow up is in a loving, healthy, heterosexual family. I am now a bad thing
because I support that.
It's not an achievement that a school produces intelligent, competent
women who value marriage and children. The gay and lesbian activists at
Barnard said 'that was bad' and Barnard crumbled. You parents of lesbians,
send your daughters to Barnard ' you parents of straight girls, there are
other opportunities.
