Doing a burnout = gay bashing


Recommended Posts

... there was discussion of leaving the tire marks as a reminder of the work that needs to be done when it comes to inclusivity. Eventually the decision was made to paint over the vandalism, but Papadatos said it’s not to brush it under the rug.

“The community needs to know that we are behind them and that this isn’t us just brushing over someone’s mistake. This is us getting ready to celebrate love in the city of Saskatoon,” he said.

It used to be that doing a burnout in your car was because of foolish youthful exuberance for horsepower....   which I seemed to have in spades when I was young.

Now, if you do a burnout on the wrong crosswalk, you're a hateful gay-bashing bigot.

This is sheer stupidity.  Is there so little bigotry these days that they have to make up some???

If he was objecting (to gays, pride and/or rainbows) do you suppose his consequence made him more accepting?  

I'm not sure I understand...?

I just rather idly wondered if the kid learned anything related to accepting gays if he was making an anti-gay statement.

If he was I suspect he has some growing up still to do.  I thought your spell check had replaced conscience with consequence.

Doing burnouts is anti-gay?

Tire mark on the street = vandalism?  :lol:  Even if it was meant to be anti-gay.....aren't tires  supposed to be on streets?  What's that rainbow doing on the street?

This zealotry over any perceived bigotry is going to end up swinging to the opposite end of another kind of zealotry.

more of a 'You ain't the boss of me" statement than anti-gay one. Or perhaps the driver was colour-blind, maybe.

Or maybe, just maybe, he was just a kid in a car doing stupid stuff. There's no need to overthink every thing that happens. Kids do stupid stuff all the time. Put them behind the wheel of a car and the stupid concentration rises dramatically in many of them.

Its roots are found in religion.

I don't think so. It's roots are found in guys being grossed out at the thought of having sex with guys - then rooting through religious texts to justify thier discomfort. Folks writing religious texts were not immune to this discomfort.

There you are, religious texts. Religion taught kids from very young ages to believe these things.
