Lillys Dad, I'm sorry if you get the impression that I'm speaking specifically about you, what I mean is not that all individual cops are bad, but that as an institution our police forces have so much corruption and racism that they do not make us all feel safe and in many cases they downright...

Why the obsession with Magic Johnson? Probably because he's straight and so he fits your bill of someone worth blessing. You might be interested to know that while medication is available it is extremely expensive and you have to take it religiously [i don't mean that in a literal context...

When you ask if USA would be number one country without not only African Americans, but also without slavery itself, I have to say no. America was built on slavery; today a fifth of the economy still depends on illegal immigrant labor, which often exists in slavery-like conditions, especially in...

I have actually dealt with many cops and intervened on cops in my city who were abusing a helpless native man. This same force was caught up in a scandal because they were circulating racist emails amongst themselves. Cops in a neighbouring Canadian city were taken to court because they had a...

You're right empress, that man is nothing but a racist bigot. How DO these guys get elected?

Interestingly enough, interracial marriage was also banned until the 70s, and in many ways this was for the same reasons gay marriage is banned now. Back to the thread's purpose though, platonic hugs and kisses are in order for all of the hetero folks here who stick by us in solidarity; you are...

Calphool, I think the issue of straight people coming here to whine and condemn us all for sinning [and for apparently spreading e.coli?] is one that describes the empress, if anyone, or at least thats how I'm interpreting it...

The worst thing about this is that most of these people use relay to carry out the scam and the FCC won't let us [the relay operators] intervene to let people know about the Nigerian scams. They claim to have been trying to deal with this problem for 2 years, but nothing has happened. The result...

How very true! This reminds me of the civil rights movement and the way changing racist laws was an incomplete solution because so many individuals were and are still racist, including those who run the institutions in which those very laws were taken down. When I get deaf callers who are...

Whoa there empress, why so much effort to blame the 'WHORE' who, by the way, is not a thing but a person. And while it might be true that he didnt use a condom, the idea that all hustlers, hookers and sex workers carry disease is a myth, their rate of sexual infections is lower than that of high...

I think abusive behavior is practically institutionalized for cops; look at the Rodney King incident, or Amadou Diallo and on and on. For white cops, racism is a CONSTANT issue. I've never heard of a single police force on this continent that was able to solve the problem of racism. When you...

Wow, I couldnt find a deaf bashing link on that page, but knowing it had been there once was disturbing. I understand that being an operator is not always easy because people do get angry with you if you don't read their minds or do what they want when it goes against the FCC. I had a caller...

Actually, I'm from Canada and can tell you that when we were granted the right to marry, such things did occur. Not only did people spit out their cereal, but God issued a letter to parliament announcing that none of us will ever get to heaven. Then there was a plague of locusts and ravenous...

but how can you be so sure we won't all be marrying our furniture? i myself have a sofa that may be with me until death do us part, and obviously as a depraved homo i am smitten enough to walk down the aisle with it...

I would rather have safe sex with a man who had safe sex with a man than have unsafe sex with a man who didn't. The issue isn't sexual orientation, its condom use.

This is an interesting question because there are so many instances in which gays mistreat and judge bisexuals based on the simple fact that they're bisexual. How ironic when we are arguing for greater sexual freedom and diversity for ourselves while closing the door on bisexuals. Bisexuality...

Southern, I want to respond to you but also want to emphasize that I don't want to compete over whether lesbians or gay men 'have it harder' than one another. I never said the we do, just that I think its a misconception to assume that gay men always have a harder time because things are...

Do note that gays have to deal with a lot more pawing from heterosexuals than vice versa. As a lesbian who always gets hit on by men who know I'm not interested, I deal with a lot more unwanted sexual attention from men than the average straight guy. And the guys that hit on uninterested women...

I don't know why this is standard though I will take a guess and say that sometimes the called party assumes we're a telemarketer no matter how many times we explain relay unless they know that the caller is asking for them or who the caller is. In these cases its easier for us to keep that...

1] we are not permitted to say that someone is drunk because on the phone we have little way of being totally sure; after all they might be speech disabled or just excited about something etc... We can say that someone is slurring, but we also have to be careful because we call all over the...
