...& THIS WAS HIS RESPONSE:
Sacred heart is holding "Gay Day" Mass!..............that's my church for those of you who do not know!
The horror of it all!
WHAT SHOULD MY RESPONSE BE?
I got a LOAD of cuss words in mind, but I don't think thats the route you wanna go,LOL!
ReplyDeleteWow I'm not really certain as to how you should respond to his email, but be polite.
ReplyDelete"Are you serious?"
ReplyDeleteor better yet
"Are you seriously that ignorant"
both vastly appropriate
i'd remind him that referring to World Aids Day as "gay day" is:
ReplyDeletehomophobic, misogynist, racist, irresponsible and ignorant.
...sorry: i meant "misogynistic."
ReplyDeleteDONN M. - I DON'T HAVE TO GO THERE...THOUGH I'D WELCOME IT!
ReplyDeleteCHET - I WAS VERY POLITE!
ReplyDelete®‡ø - IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF TIME.
ReplyDeleteTHE XY - THEN HE'D ASK, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN EXACTLY...GET MY POINT?
