Look out everyone, the super sensitive queers are crabby again. As usual, they have zero control over their own emotions, or their own self-esteem. Long story short, a mayor here in Detroit (Troy) who opposes gay marriage used the word "queer" when describing homo's and because of it, the queers are calling for her JOB. They want her FIRED. Let's pray to God that the people in charge of this poor woman's job do not succumb to the threat or pressure from these disgusting human beings. These pyschopaths uses slogan's like "We're here! We're queer!", there are shows called "Queer at folk" and "Queer eye for the straight guy" but God forbid someone who doesn't agree or engage in that lifestyle use the word queer - if they do they should be fired and their lives should be ruined.
Some of the comments are beyond ridiculous "She used the word queer, and that hurts!" It's called SELF-esteem. If someone uses a word that hurts your feelings, get a f'ing psychologist. I'm sorry but it's stories like this that destroy the fun for everyone on that side of the fence.
Be whatever you want to be, but let everyone else be they want to be too. Even if that includes being someone who doesn't like the things you like, or isn't up-to-date on the latest acceptable/unacceptable words on today's PC list. And if someone says something you don't like, ignore it instead of making if your goal to ruin their life and/or their job. In short, grow some thicker skin queers. You can't have it both ways.

A group that varied in size from 20 to 40 stood in front of Troy City Hall on Monday, amid wind and rain that changed to snow flurries, to protest new Troy Mayor Janice Daniels' use of the homosexual slur "queers" on her Facebook page.
The protest on Big Beaver Road, organized by Troy High School students, drew students, parents and some adults from outside the city, who called for Daniels' resignation, hours before she was to preside at her third City Council meeting since being elected Nov. 8.
"Even though we were too young to vote her in, we don't think we're too young to take her out of her office, or at least make her aware of the problem," said Skye Curtis, 17, a senior at Troy High School and cofounder of the school's 2-month-old Gay-Straight Alliance student group.
Daniels' Facebook posting, dated June 25, told her friends: "I think I am going to throw away my I Love New York carrying bag now that queers can get married there." Her post came a day after New York state legislators voted to allow gay marriage in the state.
Daniels was excoriated during the weekend on the Internet for not only making the statement but, in effect, defending it Friday when she said, "I still believe that marriage is between one man and one woman."
Monday, she said she met with some of the protesters and apologized. "I explained to them that this is a perfect opportunity for all of us to learn how important it is to choose our words carefully. I'm human, I made a mistake, but I feel I did the right thing -- I admitted my mistake, I apologized," she said.
Daniels' apology was accepted until she said that queer "is just a word," said Zach Kilgore, 17, also a senior at Troy High School.
"That shows she just does not understand. We had a pretty calm conversation and then it erupted into people screaming at her and calling her 'bully,' " said Kilgore, who said he organized the protest.
"We need to show the region -- and now the country, because this is national news -- that we aren't this bigoted community," Kilgore said.
Although the protesters stood outside, inside Troy City Hall were three adults with a sign about what they said was the inviolability of heterosexual marriage.
"It's the law of God and the law of the land," said the sign held by Mary Mills, 69, of Clarkston.
"The mayor happens to be a friend of mine. We're both in the tea party," Mills said.
A few miles west, at the Somerset Collection, Troy-based Michigan Faith & Freedom Coalition had launched an effort to persuade people to shop in Troy for the holidays. The effort was in response to an Internet-spread call to boycott Somerset as an additional protest of Daniels' statements.
Just WOW. So the mayor says queer and these queers want to shut down the whole city, take their anger out on every business in the area lol truly unreal. I feel like gays are by far the most overly-sensitive, over-reactionary, selfish group of people on the planet. Not all of them of course. But they ones pulling stunts like this aren't doing anyone any favors.
