Keep Gays Away From Kids and Locker Rooms

Philadelphia Daily News (Philly, Penn.) 1974-04-19

"I don't care what anyone says, I refuse to regard homosexuals and lesbians as normal people." [...] "Too much publicity and attention has already resulted in a lot of contagious homosexuality."

[quote]Someone posted a twitter thread of news articles/opinions from years past where people use the SAME "concerns" and pretty much the same bigoted wording AGAINST GAYS as people are using against trans (and gays) today.

Because they are essentially the same people OP. No matter how much they pretend otherwise.

The Edwardsville Intelligencer (Edwardsville, IL) 1977-06-14

"It is not a matter of basic civil rights. It is allowing the mantle of respectability to be placed over deviate behavior."

They then associate homosexuality with a contagion and warn of children being in contact with gays.

The Province (Vancouver, BC, Canada) 1973-02-01

This one is couched as "someone did a study" and blames homosexuality on PEER PRESSURE and pressure from authority figures.

The Indianapolis News 1974-04-20

This one goes int how gay's are UNNATURAL and whatnot.. But it's really about how gays living openly VIOLATES STRAIGHT PEOPLE'S RIGHTS.

Jesus, reading that bigoted fucker worried about a gay in the locker room in OP. You just know he was one of those straight guys who are objectively hideous, beer belly, body odour, a face only a mother could love and a tiny dick…yet they still think any gay guy will somehow want to jump them.

Yep, they even brought back the whole “grooming” argument and against drag queens who are majority gay. It reminds me of that terrible PSA against gay men.

Great thread.

The Ottowa Journal 1979-08-13

This one's got the "gay extremists" are ruining it for the "good gays" (aka closeted) by asking for acceptance.

"Obviously unrepresentative homosexual extremists have strained sympathies by their demands that homosexuality be accepted as an alternative lifestyle"

[quote]they even brought back the whole “grooming” argument and against drag queens who are majority gay

That must have been the plan all along because even Milo, back when he first brought this trans hate stuff to DL, was equating trans people with drag queens. This was years ago. I thought it was idiotic and surely no one in the gay community would buy it, I even remember dunking on Milo and saying that no gays were going to confuse drag queens with trans people.

Imagine my surprise when I saw Datalounge regulars who I was sure were normal gay men start to equate drag queens with trans, too. I guess it was about a year ago when I saw it start to happen. It's shocking.

Democrat and Chronicle (Rochester, NY) 1964-03-15

"Homosexuals are intense, sometimes unstable, and often don't accept reality,... the average homosexual is a very dissatisfied and unhappy person."

They also blame gays committing suicide on... being gay.

The Daily Chronicle, 1977-04-12

This one's got the: gays are unstable and they seek out children.

"50 per cent of the suicides and murders in America's larger cities can be attributed to homosexuals. Even the most cursory examination of homosexual magazines reveals that seduction of children is part of the typical homosexual behavior pattern"

Gay men and lesbians never threatened to murder women and "terfs".

Jump to the 27 min. mark.

It's a deluge of one trans after another threatening to shoot women.

The Coos Bay Times, 1956-10-04

More of the not-really-gay but turned-gay by others thing

"Since many of these youths are not "true homosexuals," they are misled."

Don't know the publication on this one but it's from 1990 and seems to be about Martina Navratilova and lesbian tennis players.

"It's such a problem that some families go along just to keep their youngsters away from the lesbian element in the world tennis circuit....(it's) so bad that young girl players were scared to go into tournament changing rooms...”

The Ottawa Citizen 2002-12-18

Here's a Los Angeles high school 15 year old banned from the locker room because she's gay.

Agreed it is a great thread and something we need to discuss and be much more aware of R7. Thanks for posting this OP.

1992 LA Times report on Penn State's woman's basketball team rules:

- No drinking, No drugs, NO LESBIANS.

Anyone found to be a lesbian would be kicked off the team and any scholarship revoked.

Let's also not forget this:

And these same people hate gays just as much as they hate trans and they're in the house...

The News Journal (Wilmington, Delaware) 1990-01-28

"It's just a passing phase or they are crazy and need of psychiatric help"

TERFs and the Nazi connection:

Some of these people are on Datalounge. The great "pretenders".

More:

Carrizozo Lincoln County News, page 4 1985-08-01

Gays are "INFILTRATING" organizations.... and some equating homosexuality with pedophilia and child molesters.

"Director Patrick Fagan noted that the Louisiana Chapter of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) recently withdrew from the national organization over the issue of lesbian infiltration"

".... lesbians of other sexual orientations, such as pedophiles or child molesters"

I saw an article recently about a straight woman who escaped from prison in the 1970s and was pardoned on the grounds that she was terrified of being raped by lesbians. It resulted in calls to house lesbian prisoners away from straight women. I can't find it now but will repost if I do and hopefully before this thread gets derailed.

That would be interesting to learn more about R25.

Messenger-Inquirer (Owensboro, KY, USA), 1975-12-07

Here's the 'lesbians aren't real woman" blabber. And, guess what? It's so repetitive of today that even in 1975 they used the scare-word "Communist" against gays. Similar to the "Marxist" they use against trans people today.

The Pantagraph (Bloomington, IL) 1986-04-24

Homosexuality doesn't actually exist BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY 2 GENDERS. Yep, this same old crap from 1986.

"There are only two sexes male and female, of which there are no sub-groups. In essence, homosexuals have created homosexual and bisexual sub-groups. Hence we have demonstrations for homosexual rights under the euphemism, 'gay rights.'"

Same words and phrases R27. Word for word but about lesbians instead of trans. Even the bathroom thing. It's mindblowing in its simplicity.

I guess rinse, repeat really does work.

The Signal (Santa Clara, CA) 1996-08-13

Here we are with the two genders thing plus how the medical community was bulled into accepting gays. This, again, is from 1996. Same crap we hear today about trans.

"We are still man (XY) and woman (XX). They have found no chromosome for homosexuality."

"They have with physical violence, intimidation and threats caused the medical community to say homosexuality is not a deviant or perverted lifestyle"

The Salina Journal (Salina, KS) 1998-07-24

This is from 1998 but change "gay" to "trans" and it could be yesterday

[bold]"Gay rights activists are out to silence anyone who disagrees with their radical agenda"[/bold]

Very interesting thread, OP. Thank you for the sources.

Some people on this board have quite short memories, which is concerning. I guess mob violence will always be a thing among humans...

It's a point we've been making here for years now, but TERFs are immune to logic or reasoning.

What's really fascinating is they are using the exact same words and phrases - just applied to a different minority.

Really good thread OP.

Cal Thomas looks like a real fucking asshole too. Hates the gays and had a lot to say about us. Involved with Fox News.

"There are only two sexes male and female, of which there are no sub-groups. In essence, homosexuals have created homosexual and bisexual sub-groups. Hence we have demonstrations for homosexual rights under the euphemism, 'gay rights.'"

Word for word.

It's funny how to article boils down to "I'm a bigot and would like to be accommodated". Nothing has changed.

Not the same thing.

Men can defend themselves against men. Women cannot.

No, no, no. If we just remove T from LGBTQ, straight people will immediately love us!!!

29 posts in this thread by OP, the loony troon.

That first letter is hilarious. So bitchy! It must surely have been written by a closet D/Ler. I assume the appalled reference to tattoos on those homosexuals must have been deleted for space reasons.

There's only one issue OP,and the issue is that many people still think many of those things about homosexuals.There are many places in USA or even in Europe where wearing pink or being a feminine man or a butch woman could cost your life or a violent aggression.Everybody is still assumed heterosexual unless stated otherwise and many gay people are still ostracized by society and seen as weirdos, and don't even get me started on places like Uganda, Russia or Iran. The only difference is now we get hate from trans people too when we are not attracted to them or when we dare to exclude them from "cis" gay/lesbian spaces,sexual fluidity is forced on us from people who are supposed to be from our community and who are supposed to understand we can't just "change" ourselves because they say so.Please stop acting like we live in a perfect utopia where being gay is seen as normal and accepted.

Besides the ability to rile up religious freaks, what do transgenderism and homosexuality actually have in common?

[quote]"Too much publicity and attention has already resulted in a lot of contagious homosexuality."

Contagious homosexuality? Does this person think being gay is like a cold and is catching or something?

Jeez, the ignorance.

Cal Thomas and Addison McConnell both spent their lives trying to prove they weren't closet cases.

[quote]There's only one issue OP,and the issue is that many people still think many of those things about homosexuals

Yeah, R42. Perhaps you should read the OP text again and maybe you'll see this:

[quote]...the same bigoted wording AGAINST GAYS as people are using against trans [bold](and gays)[/bold] today

Also, no shit gays still get harassed and harmed. WE ALL KNOW THIS you fuckwad. You're not adding any relevant info - but you just NEEDED some launching point to go off on an anti-trans screed of imagined and overblown grievances, didn't you. Take it back to 4 chan or wherever you weirdos circle-jerk.

Children just be protected from penises and vaginas in 2023.

And yet you're using the same tactics and phrases - word for word R40.

Why is that exactly?

R40 is Inspector Javert.

Bumping this thread.

The only gay erasure comes from conservatives.

They are they true enemy.

Not just an enemy of LGBTQ+ but to society as a whole. They are a blight on humanity.

Bump

This thread needs to be bumped every coupl a months - looks like it's been over a year tho.
