Exclamation What's going on here?!

I've always thought it was only the homophobic ones who said that gay people were recruiters, trying to seduce the innocent ones into their lives of lust and sin. However, I saw a bumper sticker today with a rainbow backround and one word on it - "RECRUITER". Did I miss something???

I think it's part of the phenomena of things we're talking about in other threads. The idea of shocking those who are prim and "proper." In this case, it's taking a negative appellation and claiming it as one's own, tongue-in-cheek.

Here's another example (see attachment) I believe the bumper sticker references something that Pat Robertson said.

I would take that bumper sticker as a case of humor/sarcasm myself. But that's because I'm basically a goof much of the time. I doubt if the person is using it in a negative way towards gays/lesbians tho.

Think I read this on one of the threads here - but I was thinkin' this would be a good bumpersticker: Save family values, ban heterosexual marriage.

Now, back to our BBQ!!

It's true... all about your personal point of view.

Default good one keltic

That bumper sticker was priceless. I also like the one about saving family values and banning heterosexual marriage. I needed a good laugh. btw, liked your afternoon pics with your 7yo. I bet he enjoyed it too. You are a good dad, Keltic.
