Bible cited as reason for kicking gay men out of public pool


Activists in Kentucky are planning a peaceful response after two gay men with developmental and intellectual disabilities were kicked out of a public pool.

A maintenance technician reportedly cited the Bible while telling the two men they couldn't swim at The Pavilion, a government-funded recreational facility in Hazard, Kentucky.

"We own this place and can tell you to leave if we want to," the couple was told, according to the Kentucky Equality Foundation.

"The Pavilion staff immediately entered the pool area and asked my clients and their staff to leave the Pavilion," Mending Hearts Executive Director Shirlyn Perkins recalled. "My staff asked The Pavilion staff why they were being asked to leave, and they were informed that 'gay people' weren't allowed to swim there."

"My staff told this man that what he was trying to do was discrimination. The man stated that what he was doing was in the Bible and he could do it. My staff continued to argue with this man, but was ultimately forced to leave. My clients, whom already feel ridiculed and different, left the city owned facility crying and embarrassed for trying to participate in 'normal' activities that everyday 'normal' people do," she added.

Maybe they employ the Amazing Yurskin.

He can use his amazing mental powers to read their minds and determine their sexual orientation.

once again zappa fails....he tells people what they "really mean" all the time...yet he calls me kreskin...love it...the intellectual dishonesty is strong in this one...then again, any honesty is pretty non-existent in this one.

do you think these people represent ALL christians in america zappa? your title indicates that you do.

So you don't know the answer. Isn't their behavior immediately before getting kicked out an important part of the story?

Instead of asking the obvious you go on an attack of Christians.

Amazing, with all those debating skills and psychic abilities, our committed Christians somehow didn't click the link and read this: "neither of these young men was exhibiting inappropriate public behavior as witnessed by their direct support staff."

You lie. The word: "inappropriate" doesn't appear on the linked page.

The article is a good example of biased reporting. The author simply leaves out pertinent information that would let the reader decide for himself if the action taken was appropriate. Along with that he focused on non-peecee comments from a janitor. I'm not surprised that Zap fell for it.

I'm guessing that these two gays with "with developmental and intellectual disabilities" were getting it on in the facility, and they needed to get kicked out.

actually, you lied. you claimed it was in the link from the OP....now you're moving the goal posts and claiming it is in the link that was supposedly in the OP. if you want to be honest, you need to amend your statement to say it is contained in ANOTHER link that is supposedly referenced in the OP.

another legion fail

Poor Yurskin. His psychic powers failed to disclose the link, and he was proven a liar again.




But that won't stop the obsessive lil' freak that Ice Dancer has pegged as a troll.


Keep spewing Yurt...Yurt.

LOL, after being proven a liar, Yurskin avoids the issue.


You seem to know quite a bit about someone you've never met, Yurskin. How did you come by this information?


BTW, here's what Ice Dancer had to say about you, troll:

You know yurt, you are the one who planted your ass in my thread lecturing me on how to deal with trolls- I do have them on IA-and again, it's because of your constant spamming with them that makes their spamming possible-or at least more obnoxious. The fact that you are likely gonna spend what ever air I'll give you back on this subject, trying to prove some ridiculous non point, is why you end up as the butt end of troll fodder daily- Until you thought you had some new observation you felt compelled to lecture me on, I had not said diddly squat to you about your onceler spamming- as to WB and SM- they can both attest to my talking to them about their stuff- you really ought to do a thread and post check of your routine spamming to see my point...just sayin'

Oh and did you note 3-d did not call WB a spammer or say you were not~ he only opined against someone he does not like- whereas I like you-but your constant attitude of thinking you know what's what with regards to trolls, when you are part of the troll problem, and then thinking you can lecture me about it- begged for my response-live with it yurt----

holy crap, you're either a liar or a retard....she said i was "part of the troll problem" -- that is not saying i am a troll -- she is upset because she believes i'm the only one who feeds the trolls....you and onceler.

i hope your mom has a lock on the basement door.

A link can have many other links associated with that page. If you meant some other link you should have cited it. Not only did you lie, but according to the forum rules, you plagiarized.

Here's my post.

You've been served.


Now, tell us again what the two men did that warranted their expulsion from the pool.

 

[DamnYankee]

From that link:

"...neither of these young men was exhibiting inappropriate public behavior as witnessed by their direct support staff." Notice the qualifier. My guess is that two deviants were getting it on in public as witnessed by some kids and were thus told by staff to "get a room".

Right, that's why you spent hours fighting with her.


She also said this:

yeah yeah yeah...yurt so you think you are explaining something I don't already observe-? The problem where you are directly concerned is not that you don't IA the trolls-it's that you constantly engage them and in doing so, make yourself a spammer right along with them- it's fricking annoying. This may actually shock you, but your posting to it and to duncler ad nausea, in your pissing matches, also kind of makes you troll like. It goes beyond just a smack down here and there-it's like obsessive...

She's right.

In the absence of any witness testimony to the contrary, your guesses are worthless.




Your guess is as good as mine...unless you were there....watching.
