At a really low point in my life, I met a gay guy who was also at a low point in his life, his boyfriend had driven his uninsured Corvette through the storefront window of a car dealership. As the registered owner, he was liable. He was an anethesiologist, but when his earnings were attached, the hospital fired him. He went to work in a plasma clinic at fifty bucks an hour. He offered me a free room no strings attached until I got back on my feet.

He was the funniest guy I ever knew, kept me in stitches all the time. His wit was so fast, just as an example, one time I was talking to someone about Roy Rogers and his horse Trigger, he piped in and said, “no his name is Tregro, they passed a law”.

The biggest part of the story is that I met all his circle of friends, mostly gay. And they are just people. They enjoy the same things and are plagued by the same crap that we all are, except they get an extra dose of prejudice.

Like MLK said, “content of character”.

Perhaps ‘Birdshit’ Green hasn’t updated ( updated; strange to be using that word, if you consider his website is full of 2000 year old ideas! ) his website because he is not well. I hope its nothing trivial.

Boy George once said that every man should be buggered at least once in his life.
Maybe poor ol’ oppressed ‘Birdshit’ needs a good, long, hard-
TALKING TO!

Teehee.

Wurble, you need to remind yourself that there were times in our history when his kind were actually in positions of power rather than the butt of everyone’s jokes as they are now. These were not pleasant times to live for anybody especially those in posession of a mind. This guy wouldn’t hesitate to have you thrown in jail for your beliefs, or for your sexual preferences for that matter, if he ever had the authority to do so. I like him for his entertainment value but that doesn’t change the fact that he is a thouroughly nasty man.

I must be feeling charitable because when I look at the picture of Stephen ‘Birdshit’ Green all I see is a deeply sad and quite probably mad individual. I know he’s a bigoted piece of shit but I suspect that is a symptom of a serious mental illness for which he will never receive treatment. Its almost a shame ( but not quite ).

â€œHow long before the idea that it is ok in Scotland to insult somone elseâ€™s religion reaches the terraces of Ibrox and Celtic Park.â€

Oh I can’t see that making any difference to Celtic and rangers supporters. They’d never take advantage of that. No chance.

According to the Mr. Eugenides blog, Mr. Green was quoted as saying “How long before the idea that it is ok in Scotland to insult somone else’s religion reaches the terraces of Ibrox and Celtic Park.” Do you think that he was born and raised on another planet? or is he perhaps just a bit of a thicko?

The curious can find details of Greenâ€™s Christian essay contest here:

Looks like fun. But their maths is a little dodgy:

We are offering Â£300 in prize money [...] There are three age groups [...] The prizes in each age category are: * 1st Prize: Â£60 * 2nd Prize: Â£30 * 3rd Prize: Â£15

So where does the extra Â£15 come from? Must be the BBC expenses claim....

Nope, Bubblecar. I am far too old, besides which pressing deadlines militate against any frivolity today.
