I see so many comments about digg's duplicate detection system. No system in the world can compensate for stupid people!! Its stupid people who want more than anything to see their user id on a popular story that leads them to click the continue button when duplicate candidates are identified! People - Get a life - eliminate duplicates

I had a great Amstedam Gay Pride - Some Didnt
Saldly the homophobic attacks in Amsterdam during Gay Pride put a downer on what was a great weekend. Now that there is a special police force investigating, maybe these people will be found and deported
Angry Mother Defends Gay Son
All Homophobics who hide under the banner of "Family Care Associations" should read this article. This is a real Mother!
Link works - but the important content is pasted below:
Many letters have been sent to the Valley News concerning the homosexual menace in Vermont. I am the mother of a gay son and I’ve taken enough from you good people. I’m tired of your foolish rhetoric about the “homosexual agenda” and your allegations that accepting homosexuality is the same thing as advocating sex with children. You are cruel and ignorant. You have been robbing me of the joys of motherhood ever since my children were tiny.
My firstborn son started suffering at the hands of the moral little thugs from your moral, upright families from the time he was in the first grade. He was physically and verbally abused from first grade straight through high school because he was perceived to be gay.
He never professed to be gay or had any association with anything gay, but he had the misfortune not to walk or have gestures like the other boys. He was called “fag” incessantly, starting when he was 6.
In high school, while your children were doing what kids that age should be doing, mine labored over a suicide note, drafting and redrafting it to be sure his family knew how much he loved them. My sobbing 17-year-old tore the heart out of me as he choked out that he just couldn’t bear to continue living any longer, that he didn’t want to be gay and that he couldn’t face a life without dignity.
You have the audacity to talk about protecting families and children from the homosexual menace, while you yourselves tear apart families and drive children to despair. I don’t know why my son is gay, but I do know that God didn’t put him, and millions like him, on this Earth to give you someone to abuse. God gave you brains so that you could think, and it’s about time you started doing that.
At the core of all your misguided beliefs is the belief that this could never happen to you, that there is some kind of subculture out there that people have chosen to join. The fact is that if it can happen to my family, it can happen to yours, and you won’t get to choose. Whether it is genetic or whether something occurs during a critical time of fetal development, I don’t know. I can only tell you with an absolute certainty that it is inborn.
If you want to tout your own morality, you’d best come up with something more substantive than your heterosexuality. You did nothing to earn it; it was given to you. If you disagree, I would be interested in hearing your story, because my own heterosexuality was a blessing I received with no effort whatsoever on my part. It is so woven into the very soul of me that nothing could ever change it. For those of you who reduce sexual orientation to a simple choice, a character issue, a bad habit or something that can be changed by a 10-step program, I’m puzzled. Are you saying that your own sexual orientation is nothing more than something you have chosen, that you could change it at will? If that’s not the case, then why would you suggest that someone else can?
A popular theme in your letters is that Vermont has been infiltrated by outsiders. Both sides of my family have lived in Vermont for generations. I am heart and soul a Vermonter, so I’ll thank you to stop saying that you are speaking for “true Vermonters.”
You invoke the memory of the brave people who have fought on the battlefield for this great country, saying that they didn’t give their lives so that the “homosexual agenda” could tear down the principles they died defending. My 83-year-old father fought in some of the most horrific battles of World War II, was wounded and awarded the Purple Heart.
He shakes his head in sadness at the life his grandson has had to live. He says he fought alongside homosexuals in those battles, that they did their part and bothered no one. One of his best friends in the service was gay, and he never knew it until the end, and when he did find out, it mattered not at all. That wasn’t the measure of the man.
You religious folk just can’t bear the thought that as my son emerges from the hell that was his childhood he might like to find a lifelong companion and have a measure of happiness. It offends your sensibilities that he should request the right to visit that companion in the hospital, to make medical decisions for him or to benefit from tax laws governing inheritance.
How dare he? you say. These outrageous requests would threaten the very existence of your family, would undermine the sanctity of marriage. You use religion to abdicate your responsibility to be thinking human beings. There are vast numbers of religious people who find your attitudes repugnant. God is not for the privileged majority, and God knows my son has committed no sin.
The deep-thinking author of a letter to the April 12 ‘05 Valley News who lectures about homosexual sin and tells us about “those of us who have been blessed with the benefits of a religious upbringing” asks: “What ever happened to the idea of striving . . . to be better human beings than we are?”
Indeed, sir, what ever happened to that?

So you are Intolerant? Piss Off
"So You are Intolerant? .... Piss Off"
There are many Moroccans in Holland, and no one would have a problem if they would integrate and not fight local culture. If they dont like/accept Gay People - they can always go to a country where there are more people that agree with them.

A new angle on Immigration Tests : Does this offend you?
New applicants for Dutch Citizenship are shown a movie that depicts two gay men kissing. There is a growing problem in Amsterdam with Moroccan/Muslim kids abusing Gay people which is totally against Dutch Culture. This move wont solve the problem - there are too many Moroccan haters - but it may stop the problem getting worse.

Hate Crimes Legislation
Ok, some guy called Donald E. Wildmon under the dubious banner of the "American Family Association" (AFA) seems to be getting a bit hot under the collar about the upcoming Legislative changes to restore Human Rights to Gay Men and Women in the US.
Why is he getting so hot under the collar? Well, this whole organization (Like Westboro Baptist Church) would not be able to distribute their Propaganda anymore, as this seems to be the entire objective of their lives; if this legislation succeeds, they will have to find something else to do!
I expect they will feel like an Alcoholic on their 1st day at the clinic!

Digg SPAM
There are a number of digg users that SPAM sites with postings for Religious news or discussion sites. The idea of Digg is to have conversations on digg about content stored elsewhere. One particular group (theologyonline) on Digg recently challenged me on this, tried to get me to continue my discussion on their site - and accused me of being a SPAMr when I refused!
Thankfully one of their breed has now added me to his digg ignore list, as if I will be offended by that!
The Digg Article where this all started is @
http://www.digg.com/politics/TheologyOnline
Have a look at the mail blog entry link above - apparently I "Chickened Out" Well, if that makes them feel good to think that, Im glad I had an involvement in making someone feel that they achieved something!
