Trig. Warning: Homophobia on Pet Loss Chat
April 07, 2014
I *know* it's out there, but bigots aren't in my circle of family and friends. Some background:
It's a pet loss support chat room, an awesome place, very safe, and it's been a life saver.
You will never, ever hear the "At least it wasn't a chhyyllllddd" bullshit.They'd get their head on a platter, and an instant ban.

The person in question: I should have known better.
He is a Fundamentalist Christian: **"I just laugh when people tell us we are descended from apes.", openmouthed shock scripture quotes as it pertains to being kind to animals in the Bible, et al.
**A couple of other people chimed in their agreement too but I digress

Transcript edited for privacy

Me: do you watch Frasier?

Him: at times I do

Me: I adore Frasier

Him: I don't like his brother

(This should have been the hint for me to stop. lol)

Me: He just called Eddie Edward Scissor hands b/c his clawed up Frasier rug

(It was Nile's umbrella stand)

Me:The actor who played him was picked b/c of his resemblance to Kelsey Gramer

Me:And now he looks exactly like him!

Weee! you can see what a happy dimwit I am in the face of grim disapproval. Stupidly I had no idea he was possibly getting annoyed.

Me: I do like his brother.

Him: I like Frasier but I don't like his brother
Because of what he is I won't allow him on my TV screen


doh face He left right after that. I was like omg. doh face openmouthed shock

Everyone there is pretty awesome though and the majority of the Christians there are manifestly NOT like that. The board/chat room owner is a benevolent dictator whom we can call or email if people are trolls or behaving badly.

Any bigoted, narrow-minded individual such as this moron should not be allowed to have pets. What if they get frustrated, ticked off about something their brain cannot rationalize and they take it out on the poor animal. ranting sad smiley
