Please don't blame Arkansas. It's a great place to live, with many great people.
Paladino lives in New York and is anti-gay. I don't blame all of New York for 1 person.

Vocal prejudice is definitely acceptable as long as it isn't directed at certain minority groups, right?

Wow. Way to misinterpret a post. When did I say or imply that?

Wasn't directed at you, sorry.
It was one Arkansan speaking to another, regarding someone else's prejudices.

No problem. Sorry for my reaction. I do have problems with how Arkansans get depicted and this moron doesn't help.
It's like how I hate when a movie is set in the South and someone walks into the sheriff's office. There's no airconditioning and one of those sorry old time fans that just goes back and forth.
We have airconditioning. We don't say "Aw, shucks" (well, not a lot of us). And, we aren't all prejudiced white trash.

I'm an Alabamian. I feel you.
This article caused something rare...I literally had nothing to say when I first read it I was so appalled.

I don't think there is any possible comparison to what Paladino said (or what Ken Buck in Colorado said) and what was said by the (now former) school board member in Arkansas.
I am certainly not defending Buck or Paladino, but at least they didn't bring God into it or indicate that the suicides were not a loss to society.
It is too bad our former school board member could not be forced to attend that funeral (though I am sure most folks there would want to tear him limb from limb).

This.
Not all of us have family members who hold more than one title (i.e. stepdad is a cousin) and spew this ignorance.
