Earlier this week, a disabled gay couple were kicked out of a public pool in Hazard, Kentucky. A staff member at the Hazard Pavilion recreation center told the two men and their aids that they needed to leave because "'gay people' weren't allowed to swim there." And why not? Apparently, because "it's in the Bible." The two men, who are developmentally and intellectually disabled, arrived at the pool accompanied by staff from Mending Hearts Inc. The organization provides support for people with certain disabilities and helps guide their behavior in public. "Neither of these young men was exhibiting inappropriate public behavior as witnessed by their direct support staff," said Julia Oiler Spiegel of the Kentucky Equality Federation. Shirlyn Perkins, Mending Hearts' Executive Director, told the Kentucky Equality Federation that "Pavilion staff immediately entered the pool area and asked my clients and their staff to leave the Pavilion." "My staff asked The Pavilion staff why they were being asked to leave, and they were informed that 'gay people' weren't allowed to swim there. [They] told this man that what he was trying to do was discrimination," Perkins continued. "The man stated that what he was doing was in the Bible and he could do it. My staff continued to argue with this man, but was ultimately forced to leave." The Kentucky Equality Federation called the incident "completely outrageous." "The Pavilion is owned by the City of Hazard and paid for by our tax dollars," said Jordan Palmer, the organization's president. "[Religion] has no place in government." The Advocate reports that Palmer's group and others are planning to protest at the Pavilion and Hazard City Hall. "My clients, whom already feel ridiculed and different, left the city-owned facility crying and embarrassed for trying to participate in 'normal' activities that everyday 'normal' people do," Perkins said of the incident.

Faggots shouldn't be allowed at public swimming pools. They might spread aids.
The only disease I see is the raw ignorance coming from your pie hole. And Blacks shouldn't be allowed at a coffee shop with you because one of this nasty kinky hairs might fin it's way into your cuppa and infect you with something that can make a white boy like you be able to dance without several beers in him, right? With you, it's all about your need to hate and scapegoat. By your logic, because anyone can have a Retrovirus that is highly fragile and can only be spread by means of vectors such as needles or sexual contact, nobody should be allowed to swim in a public pool even though there is zero chance of casual infection in a pool with water full of chlorine. Grow up Stone. Nobody should go through life so hateful and ignorant.
Mike I am putting you in charge of defending the faggots. You are hereby proclaimed champion for the perverts.
Next time you use hate labels in posts to me, the best you will get is a ruminant bozo slot. It tells me you have no interest in sharing views on the topic.
Oh give it a rest, mikey. You label posters DAILY here and elsewhere.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Just because your head is shaped like a lightbulb, it doesn't mean you are bright.
Whatever.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
You said it and I laughed at it.
Why are you afraid of pussy? Hmm faggot?
Faggots shouldn't be in swimming pools. They are high risk disease carriers. They also molest young boys. They are perverts and should be put on a list. You know like a sex offender list. Now you just have to figure out if I am sharing my views on this topic or fucking with you.
Why do you fear gays, homophobic trailer trash pond scum?
You normaphobes crack me up.
"Why do you fear gays, homophobic trailer trash pond scum"? I used to think that if humans behaved like dogs and wagged their tail more than their mouths, this would be a better place to live, that is, until you and your perverted faggot friends began doing both... Paging Ferret Mike, friend and champion of perverts and faggots alike, cleanup in aisle #14, fudgepack attack!!!
Why, it's the Marm of the Hillbilly set. Aren't you going to give free advertising to perverts on sex offender lists again like you did last time to make your point? When you have an argument well argued in facts and clearly stated points of order you won't get bait back for your flame bait. By your own often repeated statements you were not too concerned about religious matters, and so I find this sudden use of religion as a tool just a convenient means of trying to attack. Pop a Midol in your greasy pie hole and call it good, darling. You are still an amateur at flaming after all these years of practicing the art of flipping your Bic. And thanks for sharing.
Now, that is funny Mike.
I have this bird that keeps attacking his reflection in my large window. I ran him off once, now I'll have to do it again.
You really should get out more fred...you're pathetic!
The first time I was called a fudgepacker at FR in 1998, I truly did not know the term. It was repeated numerous times by Deb and mojo and was simply used as a last resort in all discussions since they didn't have an honest objective view on any subject involving homosexuals. I said at the time that since both Deb and mojo considered themselves to be Hollywood elitist Repbublicans she was voted classiest FReeper because she was so classy; all of it dreadful. I am surprised Murron that you would stoop so low. I don't know the facts in this case but if half of it is true it is more than sad, it is dishonorable to associate the bible with such bigotry and unreasoned hate. You don't catch 'AIDS' or HIV for that matter from either toilet seats or swimming pools. There is a class of sub-humans who may believe otherwise but they've been fucking their siblings so long they've lost 98% of their gray matter.

Which explains why I'm not surprised you're so depressed by menopause.
Don't you think you should be posting over @LP to help your client "yukon" out as opposed to beating up on murron here on LF? Someone is running a "help yukon out" post on LP. It could escalate into a full THREAD!
If that's the best that lil shit sniffers got, he's in trouble...
Have you ever seen or heard of the movies called "Bumfights" (if not, look it up over the Internet.) This lamer, harrowup, reminds me of that movie.
LMAO...He doesn't need any help exposing your diminished mental condition. I'll bet he is laughing every time you display the fact that you still haven't a clue what happened. You were way late to the party. Murron always demonstrates she needs no help taking care of herself.
That isn't me posting. I was HACKED! NAW, he has you, Gatlin, (et.al) to bail him out. Now, get this: I hear through a certain website there are all kinds of folks going to take you, next time Admiral. Are you prepared?
Take the Admiral where?
To Gilligan's Island, of course. An all new clandestine SPOOF of the year with the entire crew.
Who would you prefer to pile drive? Ginger or Marianne?
There were several sociopaths that thought they were adroit enough to take me down. One was boarded out and lost his pension. The other lost his business. There is one left. He's next. Cordially...
A three hour tour? That worked out about as well as yukon's "New favorite website".
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Oh no! More goat jokes.
I'm going to visit my friend on disability tomorrow after church like normal. His next door neighbor has four goats. They know enough to stay off the street.
Now, if we could only keep the self-declared "admirals" in their own backyard ... what a wonderful world these chit-chat channels could be.

iT's hilarious on several levels not the least of which is the fact that Stone is the only male with a menstrual cycle. It's documented. You can ask Ripley. Please note: Due to your account status (Probationed), you may make 10 comments per day. You have made 5 comment(s) so far today.* *$10 bucks and Boofer's last half nut says I drive Stone crazy if I do nine a day.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Never saw you as a Satan worshipper. God doesn't intervene. Read your Bible.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Lap dancing in a public pool is plenty good reason, to kick them out.

You've got to be shitting me.

However, the Kentucky Equality Federation says the men were only sitting on each other's laps, and they were discriminated against.
