thats odd. I think the fact that they were ...retarded might have played into it.

If they don`t like it,they should build their own pool.

With all due respect. To the hell with the Bible. Currently it only reflects the bias and prejudices of humanity over other last 500 years. What the Bible does not show is what the Christian religion was intended to be as conceived by Christ during HIS lifetime. In that version of Christianity actions did speak louder than words; and 'witnessing' was showing compassion to lessor humans.

I have said my peace.

I wonder which verse they meant. I think they are mistaken.

Um. The New Testament's been around for 2000 years and the Old Testament more than that.

The Bible is a wonderful book If you truly follow it. But it does not say anything about bashing gays within it - poor book gets misinterpreted by people who claim to follow it.

Holy rimjob, Batman! There telling us we can't swim in the pool!

Actually, I'm finding it hard to find the right words that will express the level of outrage I feel toward such closed-minded, vicious bigotry. This is a public pool so it should be an open and shut case. But I am also merciful so I think that the two asses should be given a choice:

1) While standing next to the two guy men, in front of the press, they should acknowledge that their religious beliefs (which they are perfectly entitled to) have no bearing on who can and cannot swim in the pool. That they were wrong to discriminate against their fellow human beigns and that their invisible sky-daddy has no say on the matter... followed by an apology (it better sound sincere) and a promise that they won't do it again.

Or

2) Hit the fucking road and find employment elsewhere!

ETA: The fact that they are delvelopmentally disabled probably did play a role. I have worked with the developmentally disabled in the past, one of my nieces does currently, and I have a distaff cousin who has Down's Syndrome. I have seen that disgusting attitued first hand... people in a restaurant or park who "tsk" and/or roll their eyes when the developmentally disabled arrive. Or worse... in one case... actually say: "oh shit... those retard freaks are here." I am actually rather proud of the fact that I successfully restrained myself from grabbing their hair and repeatedly bashing their face into the pavement.

I wonder how they knew the men were gay?

I am old enough to remember they'd close the public pool in our area if black people showed up...I guess the more things change the more they stay as they were...

Pushing around the MR/MH bothers me more then the gay part here.

Some people are very uncomfortable around these folks.

I would like to have seen what was so bad about their behavior. I worked in group homes for 5 years- so I know the drill.

Marc2b, while I'm against violence in principle and practice, I'm yet to be convinced that you have made a good personal development choice here......

Locally- the population is for the most part used to seeing the MR/MH out in public. A few misunderstand- but over all- people are easy going here in the valley.
