What. The. Fillintheblank.

I hope there are more progressive Rebuplicans out there (like myself) and that this shithead gets what's coming to him. Guys like this make me embarassed for all of us right-leaning folk who are pro-gay rights. What an ASS!:mad:

Wow.

On top of the idiotic shit he's saying, he's just coming off as a huge loser. Is it bad if I suspect that it will inevitably come out that this guy wanted to hook up with said RADICAL HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA MAN and got rejected?

I read some of this last night, and it is like an obsession for this guy. He is literally stalking these college students. It's downright crazy! I'm not sure what he thinks these college students are really going to do, but all he's really obsessed with is who may be dating who, what they post on FB and whether or not they respect the police. ODD!

What makes this even worse (for this guy at least), is that he's coming off as a RADICAL himself, by going this far.

Hypocrite much?

But he's a radical for the good guys so it's ok! When that college student does it he's an asshole, but when this fighter for freedom does it, it's OK!

No kidding. Creep.

So, Michigan government officials have free time like that? Time for a career change.

Also, WOMP @ gay college students = OMG RADICAL CHANGES :rolleyes:

... is he really accusing this kid of turning someone gay?

To be fair (and this is probably about as far as I can go to be fair), he's a civil servant (government employee), not a government official (as in elected or appointed official), and everybody seems to have made clear that he has done all of this on his own time, not on state time.

Which means he has no life.

It's contagious, ya know?

Just like the "black" thing. I have to wear gloves when I touch people. Kind of like the Midas touch. Except black.

The bold was what I was getting at :)

Sorry, that made me laugh!!!

DTITY? (or at least his playbook)

The Assistant AG is in the closet.

I've always been a big believer that any man who actively crusades against homosexuals is simply repressing those inclinations himself. For real, hetero men, "harassing/worrying about" homosexuals is #2578 (or lower) on their to-do list. If "harassing the gays" makes it to your top 10, it's time to look in the mirror....

sounds like something we have going on in atlanta.

Or under the toilet stall.

i didn't know you could be promiscuous with just one person.

you may now call me d_slut.

whoa. i guess he could slang that dick :rolleyes:

Who knew that conservatives couldn't be gay!?!?! (shrug)

You can be promiscuous ALL NIGHT LONG. :p

I agree 100%. I have seen this kind of thing in the workplace before, and most of the time when someone risks their professional career to gay-bash, it is their way to vent frustration over their own inability to face their own feelings. (When you run Human Resources- you get to know a lot of private information about people- hence my pretty strong claim on this insight.) As an assistant DA- this guy surely knew he was taking a big chance by doing this.

The accusations of anti-Semitism are particularly troubling for me. There is already way too much of the real thing in this world (ie far more than zero) without someone using it as a false weapon and giving people one more reason to think the real claims of anti-Semitism are false and aimed at achieving a personal end (think Duke Lacrosse prosecution for another good example of this on the race issue.)

I really need the Anderson Cooper interview Autotuned, like yesterday.
He's protesting outside your house, blogging about your life. You need to hide your agenda, hide your facebook, hide your lifestyle, because we're stalking Chris Armstrong up'n here. You are so dumb, forreal.

I love that this office issued a newsletter on cyber ethics a year ago. http://www.michigan.gov/documents/cy...s_292731_7.pdf Obviously someone in the office should read over those materials, and I know people are looking into his previous cases to see if there was any GLBTQ bias in defense or prosecution.

This thread made me think of:

They are going to milk this until it's bone dry lol

I can't wait to escape this state.

I bet someone wants to milk someone's bone. Seriously, what a creeper who may need a mental health evaluation because they are obsessed. he seems so familiar though, as if I've seen him before.

Oh that's right!

You could always move to Illinois, they have no issues with their government officials.

Lurves to agzg and IrishLake.

We have scandals too, every state does. Well okay, Wyoming, other than Dick Cheney it seems pretty benign. Vermont? They seem pretty stable and there's all that maple syrup and Ben & Jerry's, and you can marry a guy who writes do-it-yourself books and is a local tv host.

Hey, we just reserve our officials a prison cell upon election.

I swear I think I'm voting Green Party again this year just to flip the other guys the bird.

So I ended up looking at the actual blog, and it is full of crazy, but this quote is made me lose it.

"It was like being at a klan rally except the klansmen were wearing Abercrombie polos and Birkenstocks."

All of the photos posted on the website and the video, if they were taken by Andrew Shirvell are really close up and I wonder if he was trespassing to film the kids and do a photo shoot when the police were there. I'm sure the state bar is not too thrilled either.

This is just the government I inherited whenever I moved here. You can bet we'll be voting differently this time.

And really, I really really really don't want Rahm Emmanuel to be the mayor. That sounds incredibly disasterous to me.

But really fucking entertaining :D

Looks like someone has been suspended from their job in light of a protective order issued. They have also been trespassed from campus.

ETA: There's a new Anderson Cooper interview with the AG of Michigan, Mike Cox. I laugh like a little kid when anyone on the show says his name.

Methinks the closet case was dating the "previously conservative male student", the ex-conservative student left him for the student body president, and now closet case has lost his damn mind.

LOL...saw your post and laughed out loud (as this was my thought too). I think we have a mini-Larry Craig here!

The sad part is he is pulling this crap when that poor kid in New Jersey committed suicide because his college room-mate shamed him about his sexuality. (Some might say the shame was about the internet sex posting, but it had to be about his sexuality).

I think the good news on this is that it might cause some college students (mainly male) to confront the issue of homophobia. From my own experiences, it was almost always the guys who felt threatened. (I remember in college when it came out -pardon the pun- that a very good looking member of our college's track team was gay, the reaction of several women who knew her was: 1. No big deal. 2. Yeah! No chance of my boyfriend hooking up with her!)

BTW: I am a somewhat new poster on here, and I am really glad to see the progressive attitudes, especially from our moderate Republican greek sisters. I hope you ladies can help keep your party from being taken over by the nut jobs.

No, I would say he has a life, but an extremely bitter and sad life...

I wonder how many hours a day he "researches" gay websites with scantily clad young men?

I can say I've noticed lately that more females I'm around now than before seem to be, if not threatened by, uncomfortable around lesbians. I didn't run into this in high school or in the first couple of years of college, but it seems to have come up several times recently. Of course, most of the men I know are at least a little homophobic. I don't know if it's just who I'm around now or what, but I really have noticed an increase in homophobia in females.

I do remember a lesbian woman on campus being mildly interested in coming to a COB party. One of my sorority sisters said she didn't want to even give her a chance because she wouldn't be comfortable being "hit on" by a sister. I asked her what made her think that because Suzy was a lesbian Suzy hit on every female in sight. I fail to understand the need for fear.

Yep. I think that's the biggest misconception.

Heterosexual men* and women don't hit on EVERYONE because they're not attracted to EVERYONE. I'm not sure why people feel it's any different for homosexual men and women.

*I know this is a stretch, but y'all get what I'm saying lol

Yeah, it is definitely one of them. Apparently, if you're homosexual you are automatically attracted to every individual of your sex. :rolleyes:

Well, I think part of it comes from the fact that many people don't see (straight) men and women as being able to have completely platonic relationships. If they don't think straight people can do it, why would they think gay people would be any different? It's just that they're more willing to risk a non-platonic friendship with a member of the opposite sex than they are with the same sex.

This doesn't make sense to me. I have many male friends that have never hit on me, never made a move, etc. I've never done that, either.

Not to mention, that's no reason to be scared of gays and lesbians. If one friend becomes attracted to the other and it isn't reciprocated, you do what you do if the friends are male/female.

There are lots of instances of cultures/religions/groups who did or still do believe that men and women are to be separate because they are incapable of forming relationships that are not sexual.
