I grew up in a subdivision called Homosexual Farms.

In an unrelated note, my computer autoreplaces "American Family Association" with "neanderthals".

I remember when that jackass Don Wildmon thought Mighty Mouse was snorting coke. What was that, twenty years ago? Why does this bozo have any credibility whatsoever?

I have an neighbour, Peggy, who's 84, and she still uses the words "queer" and "gay" as if it's the 1940s.

It'd be interesting to see how they would have handled this part of Martha's Vinyard before the name change...

Wow. Following the link, I arrived at this article.

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/2008/05/afa_wants_us_to.html

It seems they don't liked being linked from rightwingwatch. But the link redirect has changed since that article.

Click the links to OneNewsNow, any, of, these, other, links in the text to see what happens when you arrive at OneNewsNow with rightwingwatch as the referral. You can see the real pages by just copying the link location and pasting on the address bar.

Now THAT was really adult.
