BLAME GAME



The New York Post publishes an op-ed by nom's haggie gallagher.

This cunt takes no responsibility for its hate-filled homophobic rhetoric.  Hag takes the stance:  don't blame me for school teen suicides.


Do I have blood on my hands?

Major gay-rights groups are saying so. Each of us who opposes gay marriage, they say, is responsible for the terrible and tragic suicides of gay teens that recently hit the news.


LGBT teens were roughly four times as likely as other students to attempt suicide in the last year. They're also about twice as likely to report being in a physical fight at school, three times more likely to say they were injured by a weapon and almost four times as likely to say they missed school because they felt physically unsafe, compared to other teens.

These kinds of negative outcomes are consistent with the idea that anti-gay bullying is mainly responsible for the higher suicide rate among gay teens. But as I kept reading, I kept finding pieces of the puzzle that don't seem to fit the "it's homophobia pulling the trigger" narrative.

Gay students are also more than twice as likely to report having had sexual intercourse before age 13 — that is, to be sexually abused as children. They are three times as likely to report being the victims of dating violence, and nearly four times as likely to report forced sexual contact. A majority of LGBT teens in Massachusetts reported using illegal drugs in the last month. (Perhaps most oddly, gay teens are also three times as likely as non-gay teens to report either becoming pregnant or getting someone else pregnant.)

Forced sex, childhood sexual abuse, dating violence, early unwed pregnancy, substance abuse — could these be a more important factor in the increased suicide risk of LGBT high schoolers than anything people like me ever said?


Hearing the hag's anti-gay rhetoric mantra everyday normalizes the homophobia.  Telling individuals who they can and cannot marry creates an environment that some groups of society are less thans.  And,  that can perpetuate the message into adult life that some individuals will take and feel they are undeserving of equality--which can lead to suicide.

So yes cunt, you do have blood on your hands you fat fuck, bigoted, asswipe, homo-hating slitty gash!!
