Good for Erin Davies! Take the attacks and hateful words, and suck the sting right out of them.

Yeh. Channel 13 in Albany just wasted a good half hour of my time. Thanks, Channel 13 in Albany, you @#$%&*'s! |

Erin, a new page for the new look...congratulations for not buckling under to such nonsense. Life is too short for people to be fighting over your sexual preference. I am straight, but I support your plight. You have every right to be what you want. Good luck with your movie. I never quite understood what sex has to do with a person...Some of the biggest church-going do-gooders-can be a freak in the bedroom..but if someone is gay...tsk tsk. follow your heart.

I think it's great that VW paid for the paint job and you've gotten national attention. Good job!! use the media for all it's worth, that's why it is there!

Hmm, I went there and didn't have the same problem at all (Mac using Safari 3.0.4).
Seeing the fagbug repainted after seeing the vandalized bug was incredible!

Hey Channel 13 is the bomb :) |

I'm all for freedom of speech and everything this girl is doing. Also just think of the good she is doing by lowering the cost of auto insurance in NY. Nobody is going to miss that car

We want the Rainbow back!!!!
Why don't homosexuals use something more original and not steal something ' thats way more beautiful then human sexual relations |
|

i feel a person has a right to their preferences, just don't push them onto others. we all are only human and want our lives to be whatever is right for us.

Unicorn, how is she "pushing her choice onto others"?
Someone defaced her car and called a despicable name, and instead of being intimidated by it, she's decided to us it as a vehicle (no pun intended) to bring to homosexual prejudice to light. It's not as though she's passing out pamphlets on how to have gay sex; all she's doing is showing how she and others of the LGBT community are being treated unfairly. So, what's wrong with that? Oh, and "the world"... ...your stupid is showing. |

Unicorn said as long as she is not pushing her gay lifestyle on to other people she has every right to live her life the way she chooses. She was sticking up for her not putting her down. That is the same kind of narrow mindedness that put the writing on Erin's car to begin with. People read and hear what they want to hear. I believe you owe Unicorn an apology. She feels bad for Erin. She said as much...as a matter of fact she applauded Erin's strength..how do I know all of this..Unicorn is my family. I agree with you about the World..that is ignorant at best. But I will thank you for sticking up for Erin. She deserves the best. Our entire family agrees on that. |

No, I don't. [QUOTE who="owllover]Unicorn said as long as she is not pushing her gay lifestyle on to other people she has every right to live her life the way she chooses.[/QUOTE] But why would she mention it if there is nothing in the article stating that the FagBug is being used for this purpose? It was unsolicited, unnecessary, and rather homophobic. [QUOTE who="owllover]That is the same kind of narrow mindedness that put the writing on Erin's car to begin with.[/QUOTE] Yes, Unicorn's narrow-mindedness is the same type of thinking that put the writing on Erin's car. [QUOTE who="owllover]She feels bad for Erin. She said as much...as a matter of fact she applauded Erin's strength..[/QUOTE] No, she didn't. All she said was: [QUOTE who=Unicorn]i feel a person has a right to their preferences, just don't push them onto others. we all are only human and want our lives to be whatever is right for us.[/QUOTE] No where did she say that she feels bad for her and that she applaudes Erin's strength. [QUOTE who=owllover]how do I know all of this..Unicorn is my family.[/QUOTE] So? Other than the fact you're letting me know she doesn't have the stregnth of character to stand up for herself - on an internet forum, no less!- I could care less. |

Well maybe you don't have the broad mind you think you do. I am telling you she came on in support..hopefully Erin will understand what was said..That was who it was written to not you. Quite frankly I could care what you think either, I was trying to make you understand what she was saying ..she is new to blogging and maybe not the seasoned veteran you consider yourself...but she said what was on her mind and I tried to clarify it for you. If you cannot accept the fact that she is in support of Erin...BIG DEAL! Unicorn is happy for you Erin. She wants you to be happy ..She applauds your stance and I will stand behind you and her. She has only blogged and posted about 4 times. Her words may not have shown her true sentiment, but I can tell you that she has said these words at my kitchen table. So Angel H..she really doesn't need your apology..I guess I was wrong in thinking that you could be understanding.
