Give .gay to the gays, roars exiting ombudsman

InisMagrath

ICANN did something that PROVES the organization is governed by homophobic bigots. The .gay effort was LITERALLY denied because 1. they weren't gay enough and then on appeal 2. they were TOO gay.

Seriously, the board should just be candid and come right out and say that they hate gay people. At least that would be honest.

ICANN gay hatred makes me sick to my stomach. May they all contract Herpes. They DESERVE it.

Re: Gay rage, because of what somebody believes?

--- "the Bible calls homosexuality a sin (and btw, so is divorce, adultery, etc.. and I don't support those either)."

And therein lies the difference. Neither Eich, nor I assume you, made a financial contribution to write into American secular law a provision to forbid divorced people or those who have committed adultery from being able to marry.

You're free to believe whatever you want to believe about what books make up your "bible" and what is deemed a "sin" in it. Other people by and large don't care and don't "crucify" you for it.

But once you cross the line of legislative advocacy and try to deprive other people of civil rights, then you are taking actions that actually cause other people harm. Go re-read the Register article about te difficulties the two men had in forming a business and building their lives together -- all of which is and should be none of your business. Yet, Eich and others chose to make it their business by supporting the unconstitutional Prop 8.

Surely you can see the difference between civil discourse wherein each side politely accepts the right of the other side to hold their views, versus political advocacy wherein one side tries to deprive the other side by force of law from living their private lives in accordance with their views.
