Same sex couples physically can’t have children, therefore, there is no point to the relationship.

Anti-gay ad in the Salt Lake Tribune is posted for discussino at KVNU’s For The People
http://kvnuforthepeople.com/2009/02/16/anti-gay-ad-in-the-salt-lake-tribune/

The comments are a general chorus disgust at the content and making fun of the horrible design. Until "Kaye" chimes in, starting with "I’m straight but I have plenty of gay friends" and ending by bringing Hitler into it. After that it's non-stop fun.

ETA: My mistake. This should be in unfunnybusiness.

ETA2: To clarify: Homophobia is not funny. People who invoke Godwin's should be mocked mercilessly.

	People who compare gay rights supporters to Hitler are homophobic, you blithering idiot. Homophobia doesn't start at gays getting the beaten up, it starts with the insidious shit like this. Check your ignorance and your privelege, some of us have to live with the RL consequences of people who think like this AND WE DON'T FIND THOSE CONSEQUENCES FUNNY! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm sorry. You're an idiot. I never said homophobia or the consequences of it are funny. The ad and the homophobia are not what amused me. However, things like "Oh NOEZ! Big scary homo black dudez are gonna steal your young, impressionable white boyz!" made me laugh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Fuck, you're ignorant. How many people is it going to take to tell you "your privelege is showing, this is not funny," before it dawns on you that maybe it isn't as funny as you think it is. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

About as many as it takes you to understand I never said "zomg! homophobia! lolz, hilarious!" I am truly sorry that anyone was offended. I’m sorry that it’s not funny. I’ve already said it should have been in unfunnybusiness, and that was my mistake. But you don’t appear to be interested acknowledging any of that. You’d rather sit on your high horse, assume you know anything about me, put words in my mouth and call me names. So far you've called me a dick, a blithering idiot and ignorant. Thanks. It’s been truly enlightening. Sorry I let my “privilege” show.

Protip, this: I can agree that no one here finds it funny. And for that I can apologize. is a fauxpology. You are saying "I'm sorry you guys don't have a sense of humour." Yeah, we don't find homophobia funny. They may be spouting bullcrap, but for as long as that bullcrap leads to peoples' marriages becoming illegal and gay people being treated as less than human, that bullcrap will not be funny.

What I see is you traipsing about the comments whining that it's funny and comedy gold really, and using another person's attempt to salvage something from this mess as validation (much to their horror.)

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck I'm going to call it a duck. If you don't want to be called an ignoarant, blithering idiot then don't act like one.
