LOUISVILLE, KY – After an employee at a McDonald's restaurant in downtown Louisville called a group of gay customers a series of anti-gay slurs, the American Civil Liberties Union is representing two of the customers in filing an official complaint with the city.  Louisville law bans discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

Man, if I was a *normal* gay man (I'm trans, so that makes things a little weird) then I'd probably say, "WHERE?" Lol... I like to play on people who make fun of things about me... except the fact I'm trans, that's one thing I find hard to laugh about...

In other news, gay men in Kentucky have to go to a Mac Donald's - which is really tragic.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

Yeah I find that too really...

It has NO fun side really versus joking about the gay. ;(

(note: Just amongst friends. I'm politically incorrect but not like those employees. Lol.)

Though a border state in the Civil War, Kentucky did permit slave owning and enforced the Fugitive Slave Laws, as anyone reading Uncle Tom's Cabin had drilled into them.

*sigh*

These are ->-bleeped-<-gots:


I really wish people would learn the difference between a sentient human being and a meat product that is quite tasty with onion gravy and lightly steamed vegetables. Ironically, probably nutritionally better for you than the pseudo-food the people who made the remarks are pedalling.
