LZGranderson Opinion Sexual Predators award

LZGranderson Opinion Actually 99% of people really don’t concern them with what homosexual gentleman do in the privacy of their own bedroom. They can have all the gay sex they want. They can fist each other until the cows come home. No one cares. They are not victims like the leftists claim.

LZGranderson Opinion This opinion has too many flaws. We don’t have to believe exactly as you do, and because we disagree doesn’t make us something that you can call names. Your self righteousness is appalling, you are more intolerant than those you hate.
