Unfortunately, these people are celebrities; their voices have been given power and authority through radio executives, business sponsors and the people listening in on it. As celebrities, they are doubly responsible for everything they say and do BECAUSE of the authority given to them. That means they need to be EXTREMELY mindful before running their fucking mouths what exactly they're saying because no matter how many official apologies are offered by their bosses... they can't erase the fact that their voices were heard and acknowledged.
I read the comments left for the article and, as can be expected on a topic like this, some fucktards were screeching "freedom of speech!" Sure, let's take a look at freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is the right to voice your opinion, whatever it is. It is the right to disagree with the majority and make it known. it is the right to have YOUR voice count. However, this is perhaps the MOST abused amendment in the constitution. People use it as an umbrella cover to write slanderous articles, behave in ways they would NEVER dream of doing were they standing face to face with a person ratehr than conversing through the safe anonymity of the internet. That's what's happening hear; the minute people started lashing out in protest and outrage, the radio show ran for the cover of their freedom of speech umbrella.
Freedom of speech does NOT condone the spreading of malicious, violent intent or thought. It is not intended for use by companies to boost ratings or stir up advertising through vile and disgusting dialogue. Freedom of speech was purposely written into the constitution so that positive and progressive actions could be discussed and implemented. It is designed to protect the sharing of ideas and beliefs FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY from being shut down. And when freedom of speech is being used to promote negative, hurtful ideals-- such as abusing a child, transgender or otherwise-- then it is NOT being used for its intended purpose. By violating one of the founding amendments of our country they are, in fact, participating in act of a criminal nature. They are threatening not only the individual right to pursue happiness but they are URGING THOSE LISTENING TO VIOLENT ACTS ON OTHERS. Last time I looked, isn't criminal intent a violation of federal and local laws? Huh... that's something to think about.
Now, hitting directly on the transgendered portion of this: Children between the ages of 2-8 are, developmentally speaking, in their exploring stages. This means experimenting, poking at things to see how they work, getting themselves into anything and everything they can. It's what children DO. Any GOOD parent will tell you that. It's how they learn about their world and what comprises it. So, if your son happens to put on one of his mother's dresses, it does NOT mean that he's gay. And if your daughter prefers to play with G.I. Joe dolls (admit it, men... it's not an "action figure" when you can take its clothing off. it's a fucking doll)rather Barbie, that doesn't mean she's a lesbian. It just means they're being curious, which is NORMAL CHILD BEHAVIOR.
Diatribe Ahoy! Part Two
