Legal Schnauzer follows up on a recent story about a UAB employee who is being investigated for sending an e-mail regarding Day Without a Gay that contained this:
“You freaks make me sick,” the e-mail read. “You are the scourge of the earth and are responsible for everything that’s wrong in this sorry world because of the immorality you have brought on this world as a whole.”
That’s sweet. Gays are responsible for *everything* that’s wrong? Man, that’s impressive. I’d think Tamburlaine, Christopher Marlowe’s “scourge of God,” might also be pissed that homosexuals who don’t even conquer or whip anyone (well, not unless you’re into that kind of thing) or do any other such badass shit get to be named the “scourge of the earth” by this UAB employee. Who is this UAB employee, you ask? The Schnauzer’s got the link to the folks who think they’ve figured it out. FOX40 News in Sacremento believes that Pamela Gibson, an office associate in the Physiology Department, is the culprit who allegedly sent this e-mail from her work e-mail address, which is probably a violation of policy.
What’s even more amazing is that a UAB employee is being investigated about hate speech by a news outlet in Sacremento, California. Makes Alabama look good, doesn’t it?
Man, I’d like to know the thought process that goes into declaring that someone is “responsible for everything that’s wrong in this sorry world because of the immorality you have brought on this world as a whole” for being gay. I, personally, have a hard time figuring out how what I do in the privacy of my own home with a consenting adult is immoral, or in fact affects anyone else at all. Is it like bad karma or bad energy? Does it radiate from my house and infect the world with immorality? I don’t get it. When two straight people fuck, does it restore the balance? Is it like the Force? If I start fucking women can I trick people into thinking that these are not the droids you’re looking for?
Because, if so, I could probably pretend to think women are attractive … if I got superpowers. How many times do I have to do it until I can lift an X-Wing with my eyes closed? I could do it like, maybe 5 times. I wouldn’t want to make a habit out of it. But if I get superpowers from just one fuck or something, I could probably swallow it. Or not swallow it, as it were.
Lady, if you were the one who wrote that and you did it on company time, you might have a lot more to do with what’s wrong with the world than queers do.
