Here the roles are reversed. Oh man...don't even get me started on sexism here

Uuggh! I've read a lot of press about Russia since the anti~gay crap came about .. but even the most liberal of our newspapers don't seem to have any idea what it's like living amongst it 24/7.

I feel for you honeybun, I really do. Have you had any major problems personally?

Nothing too extreme thankfully, but it's mostly because I'm careful with what I say and to who. Some folks have it really, really bad, alas everyone is too scared and too oppressed to stand up and fight for their rights. Can't blame them. I wish things were different, but I don't have any hope left in this country. For me the only way out is...literally out, far away from here

And that's a pretty unpleasant way to have to live hun, keeping your head down. I've only come across one homophobe recently and he was the pastor at my nephew's cult .. cu*t .. church who, presiding over their marriage last year (a day from hell) proclaimed that no matter what the law said, there was only ever a true marriage between a man and a woman!

Turns out he was sending pictures of his d*ck to the women in his congregation at the same time .. including my nephew's wife! You really couldn't make this up!

Oh, this is so awful to read about... let alone live in it. I wish more people were tolerant and respectful of all...

Bit of a lame ending, but most of it made me laugh out loud!

Late Night Video: See Kate McKinnon on SNL as Hillary Clinton and Hillary Clinton as a bartender named Val

That had me laughing through the lame ending!

Why is it that people with dimples are so adorable?

I know hun, but it's the safest

That just makes me happy that you don't have to deal with those on a regular basis. I hope for the day when all of them just die out and become history. Like witch hunting. And our children would be shocked and horrified how something like this could possibly exist.

Oh wow that's quite a story What a douche! What happened to him?

Yeah me too. What makes them think violence, bullying and opression is better than love? Seriously? Even if they see it as a sin or whatever their sick minds think of it. Bible encourages you to be tolerant and love others, why this is being swept under the rug? They choose only to focus on concepts that enable their ridiculous beliefs.

Right?! They're like aliens to me. Just. Don't. Get. It.

Diana .. I can never understand why religious bigots always use a couple of lines in the bible to fuel their hate.

This brilliant scene from S4 of QaF ..

Cody: Mind if I ask you a question, Pastor? Pastor: Please. Cody: This book, you have to believe all of it, not just some of it, right? Pastor: That's right. Cody: So, do you like shrimp? Pastor: Well, as a matter of fact I do. Cody: Because in Leviticus, a few scriptures before that man lying with man is an abomination one, it also says it's an abomination to eat shellfish, and shrimp are shellfish, right? Pastor: What's your point, young man? Cody: I believe the point is, if you can eat shrimp, we can eat c*ck. Pastor: Son, you need the Lord. You need to accept Jesus. Cody: Oh, I accept Jesus. It's a$$holes like you I have a problem with.

The pastor at Ben's cult church was quietly removed and left the county! I really wanted to contact the police and report him but I was talked out of it! He was the douche of douches! Uugghh .. just a foul specimen of a human being!

LOL! That scene. I have a really great gifset that slays religious homophobes, if I find it, I'll post it. It's from some show.

I don't know how any of them can defend their beliefs when Jesus is supposed to be such a tolerant and peace loving person .. and all that "casting first stones" stuff!

Another brilliant one from S2 .. Brian

Ted: Well, don't worry, God still loves you... no matter what. Brian: Yeah like I give a st what God thinks about me. He better be worried about what I think about him. Michael: How do you figure that? Brian: In all this cold dead universe, we're the only one's that know he exists. Without us... he's nothing.

And then there's the real biggie from S1 .. the one that most of the actors always refer to when they're ever asked about their favourite scene. But I can't do justice to that one by quotes alone ..

.. so I'm really hoping that Deborah will be able to post a clip of it for you!

I just made it for you, Debs.
