A Disturbing Look Inside the Mind of a Sex-Addicted Homosexual Hipster

In the very shadow of the great debate over the Ground Zero Muslim Mosque, another vital crisis is raging. You need not travel far from that hallowed place where 3,000 Americans sacrificed their lives to “bump” into this world where the souls of our young people are put at risk each and every day. Sadly, it only takes a quick glance at the gut-wrenchingly honest journal diary entitled “The Underemployed Ivy Grad With a Rolodex of Options and a Hot New Boyfriend” in this week’s New York Magazine to see how vacant and sick this threat to our future truly is.
Right now, the United States is in the worst financial state since the great depression. Our unemployment levels and debts are at record highs. Meanwhile, our students and workers cannot compete in world markets because they are not learning as fast as their peers in other countries. As a nation, we have simply failed to strive intellectually and claim our share of the natural resources needed to insure us a global role in the century ahead. Despite all of this, despite the fact that we are literally letting the integrity of this country slip through our fingers as oil-rich Islamics erect outposts on our lands and drug-cartels extend their battle territories to US soil, we have a culture that has deified laziness and addiction as the highest possible social goal.
Reading this somewhat irresponsible piece in New York Magazine, one would assume that young Americans subsist on a steady diet of hardcore sex and all-night partying. The sad story is rife with the most foul forms of violation, both spiritual and physical. There is no interest in love, careers, family or faith. I applaud the author’s honesty, for now we have a record of that vile reckoning of carnal lust viciously beating down our beautiful children. Sodomy, masturbation, drugs, addiction and an absolute vacancy of the soul; is that what parents dreamt of when they dreamt of “family” years ago?

In that breathless and gossipy way homosexuals like to talk, the author (described only as “28, male, Williamsburg, gay”) recounts several days spreading his special disease of immorality, from humid dirty bars to overcrowded ghetto apartments. If the phrase, “the banality of evil” were not already claimed, surely this journal would qualify. It is often painfully plain and direct, no flourish or passion, just an agonizing record of the decline of a young person’s mind. It includes passages such as:
7:30 a.m.: Wake up to my cleaning lady ringing the buzzer. Decide not to masturbate for once. Roommate texts to remind me she is out of town for the weekend. I instantly fantasize about having group sex in the apartment.
And:
2:10 a.m.: Get to his apartment. We have drunken sex, I don’t orgasm. I can’t decide if this is because I am nervous because I actually like him or because I am drunk.
2:35 a.m.: Start making out again. He is a great kisser. We go at it again, this time I finish and we go to sleep.
It is with the greatest irony that a stone’s throw away from where the Twin Towers once stood, an epicenter of supreme indulgence and depravity is thriving. Williamsburg, a corner of Brooklyn, New York, is where the sex-crazed journal writer’s story takes place. As has been reported previously, the hipster culture there has grown like a nasty vine in recent years. Its sickly tendrils are now reaching out and groping every corner of this country, even our small towns and farms, our families and children who might otherwise believe in hope and God.
Why do we allow ourselves to be raped repeatededly by the homosexual media? Who are they to invade our lives? They lure our teens and 20-somethings off into darkness with nasty promises. They violate the conscience of millions of Californians with activitst judges. They taunt the vulnerable even on our tv sets, adding subversive messages to every child’s show, from Glee to True Blood. And they are not finished yet. Once they grab the young generation from the real world, they are not even close to being finished. Who could describe or truly know what our Malthusian future holds? For now, they destroy our values with each stomp of their damp, musky sneakers on after-hours disco floors, crushing our very souls as harsh lights illuminate their flourescent Charlie Brown t-shirts and cocaine-pale faces and even then they find new frenzies, rubbing harder and harder into each other, aspiring to the perfect veneral opprobrium to all the hopes and dreams that people like Sarah Palin represent.
Maybe we shouldn’t be surprised that a once-fabled but now fabulist enterprise like New York Magazine would promote such vice. Since an avowed homosexual named Adam Moss seized control, that place has not just slipped, it has thrown itself down willfully, dejected and impotent, on Gotham’s fluffy-pillowed bed of traded-fluids, begging for some hard lash of attention, blind to who is giving it as long as it penetrates their page-view projections. And where has that attention come from? Homosexuals and hipsters are their chief demographic. Every week with every cover, we are reminded that Moss craves an embrace from their pimply, emaciated limbs. Of course, the magazine shows no shame at suckling at the teat of the worst of mediocre Bushwick-basement manufactured micro-trends. Their coverage is so unprofessionally and flamboyantly biased it truly begs the question if this rag should arrive in one’s mailbox in a brown paper bag with parental advisories stickered all over. Or better yet, serve it up over a bartop with a complimentary junior-sized condom and a Farsi-English dictionary.

Every generation has its own youth subculture that the previous generation sees as the downfall of good old fashioned ‘Murrican values. Everybody wore neon and leather jackets while snorting cocaine in a back alley in the 80s (correct me if I’m wrong, I’m relying mostly on Journey for my depiction of the decade.) The 90s…what was it in the 90s? Flannel jackets and Pearl Jam, I guess? Yes, hipsters can be extraordinarily pretentious little shits (and I say this having plenty of “hipster” friends; they’re well aware), but it’s really nothing new.
You try to paint them as a bunch of gay drug abusers, but again, the bit about drug use is nothing new. And the “gay-friendly” image they have is because, within the subculture, homosexuality is indeed much more accepted and embraced than has been the case with previous generations. This isn’t a bad thing, and it’s really just natural. Each generation is a little more open-minded than the last (a little thing called “progress”).
So yeah. Your parents probably said the same thing about “them goddamn hippies” when you were growing up. Don’t act like this is some strange new phenomenon.

Buck, the idea that we are continuously spiraling downward through history is not necessarily true. There was a lot of violence and immorality in the frontier days of America and then this country embarked on solid progress and growth, where we matured from a set of scraggly colonies into a true republic governed by the rule of law. There was a lot of political corruption and in-fighting which led up to the Civil War, but during the war Americans were solidly philosophical about their humanity. In the 1920s we had a lot of indulgence, but the Depression and WWII were times of American strength (despite FDR’s socialist leanings) and again in the 1950s we saw a solid core of American values expressed in everyday life. Reagan’s 80s could also be seen as an excellent period of moral growth, when the USA fully matured into its role as the primary global leader. So yes, there is always a back and forth between faith and morality and indulgence. I do not believe your thesis is correct, nor does it in any way reflect my thinking.
As for Comedian’s comment that this article is no different than the piece I wrote about the New York Times, I have to wholeheartedly disagree. That article was focused on the cultural legimatification of the hipster lifestyle, whereas this one addresses a specific journal in which a gay man describes his erotic lifestyle. Yes, it is a follow up and my thinking is quite consistent on this issue, but I see this more as a development of my original idea. The homosexual component is certainly an interesting one, particularly when you look at as part of the larger gay media enterprise.

Actually Stevie, this IS no different than your other blog post about hipsters, you’re bitching about how they were pointless and sinful then, and you’re doing it now. Also, legimatification is NOT a word, should you as a ‘journalist’ know what a dictionary is?
Anyway, you think everything is evil and should be wiped off the face of the Earth unless it’s American and Christian, because if it’s just either/or, then it doesn’t matter (if you see a Christian hipster, you’ll want them burned, you think everything in American is some kind of evil plot to take over the world, but if you think something’s values lie in American and Christian values, then it’s the only thing worth a damn). You think everything that’s new is evil, and you say that it shouldn’t be allowed.

I’m not saying anything about “indulgence vs. faith.” I’m saying that there’s always going to be a divide between one generation’s established values and the beliefs of the next. The 50′s had Beat Culture. Hippies in the 60′s. And though the divide might not have been quite as distinctive in following decades, it’s been there.
If the downward spiral refers to my bit about “progress,” you’re misinterpreting my comment. I was referring specifically to social gains in the modern age. And there’s no denying that each generation is more accepting than the last.
And it’s Buk, not “Buck.” Pay attention here.

Also, I know that you all think that you’re being compassionate, but leave the World Trade Center ALONE. As a native New Yorker I’m sick of the religious right treating that event like it happened to all of us and then in the same breath saying something glib about how New York is a den of sin and had it coming. Pick a side, and then keep it to your self. I’ll do the same when the terrorist attack Lameville, Tennesee (which they never do, hmmm).

you defy the words of Christ ” to love your neighbour as yourself”
stop focusing your energy on things that you have no right according to God to judge.
it is not your place. you are no better than any other sinner on this earth.
in fact if i were you, i would take sometime out to consider how God feels about you,and the stuff you say and promote. do you really think it is Christs will for you to be speaking words of hate and discouragement tp the beautiful people he created.
Go take holiday and investigate the true meaning of your existence, and what God would prefer you do with your time,and his unconditional love, consider Chrits ways.
you cannot call yourself a Christian with the attitudes you pose.

Hmmm, what an interesting interpretation of reality this commentary is.
“..we are literally letting the integrity of this country slip through our fingers as oil-rich Islamics erect outposts on our lands…”
Yes, these “outposts” as your refer to them are places of worship. It is a freedom afforded to them by the First Amendment. It’s one of the things that make this country great. But perhaps you’ve conveniently forgotten about the number of Christian “outposts” not so subtly spread throughout every far corner of the world during practically the entire second millennium anno domini. All to spread the good word of the Lord….I’m sure…but maybe requiring a bit more than a good word at times to get the point across effectively. Perhaps you have overlooked that period in history of aggressive expansion of Christianity otherwise known as the Crusades which lasted almost 500 years. Not to mention a very colorful history indeed in the New World of hangings, stake-burning, imprisonment and torture. And not much of that done under the flag of the crescent moon and star as far as history will support, my intentionally omissive friend.
Muslims are hardly the only stake holders in the oil industry. Unless somehow you’ve managed to overlook the fact that the worst oil disaster this country has ever seen was caused by a notably Caucasian group of fellows that speak the Queen’s English. I doubt there is a high degree of Muslims in that corporation. Nor in Amoco, ExxonMobile, Gulf or Texaco.
“The banality of evil” indeed. There it is above, in print for all to read in it’s all sick, twisted “logic” and glory. Intolerance, ignorance and fear, all presented in line with the “family values” as brought to you by The Supreme Gun-toting Opportunist Imbecile Poster Child of the New Extreme Conservative Movement – Sarah Palin – supported by an army of child-molesting priests and hypocritical conservative politicians denouncing homosexuality while at the same time seeking out gay sex in bathroom stalls.
I’ll agree with you on two points.
The first being that the construction of the Islamic Center close to the former site of the World Trade Center is a vital debate. But not on the side that you see it. The attack that occurred there is a monumental testimony to the endless cycle of intolerance and fear. And we, as Americans, feed into that cycle when we do things such as attempt to prevent those of another faith from exercising their right to pursue that faith. We had it in our grasp to show extremist fundamentalists of any faith that we could overcome our bigotry and prejudice and embrace a new era of tolerance. However, we’ve blow that. And we have once again demonstrated to the Muslim world that we hate them, fear them and will not tolerate them except on only the most marginalized of levels.
The second point I’ll agree with you on is that of “…we have a culture that has deified laziness and addiction as the highest possible social goal.” Allow me to add ignorance to that statement. And let’s remember that all of this has occurred under the reigns of the Christian and heterosexual majorities in this country If you want to cast a stone, cast it at yourself – not the homosexual community.
You are the worst kind of Christian. The one who knows every word that Jesus and his disciples spoke and yet comprehends NONE of it.

Hi RKS,
I am not alone in questioning the efficacy and common sense of allowing Muslims to continue building their offices/mosques on US territory. If it were simply a debate about religion, it would be easily resolved, but as Byran Fischer recently discussed on CNN, these structures are nothing more than fronts for a political movement that has made its chief purpose here the overthrow of Democracy in America. The Constitution does not permit terrorism on our soul and that clearly is the point where Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion end.
And yes, the Crusades were an interesting period of global history but that has no relevance to the issues at hand today. In my mind, those issues were resolved hundreds of years ago thousands of miles away. You’re simply equivocating to undermine the moral issues.
In any event, I do appreciate the fact that you can construct an intelligent and well-written argument for your liberal views. I surely wish that more of the left wingers who visit here were so qualified.

Your article is absurd. You’re talking about a person who lives their life to an extreme most people would not agree with or indulge in, certainly not me, my partner, nor many other gay men I know. Are there people who live in the extreme? Yes, but to claim this is limited to gay culture is idiotic (ever seen pictures of Mardi Gras?)
I also found it funny when you said, “In that breathless and gossipy way homosexuals like to talk” since that is an extreme stereotype that homophobes like to spread around. Guess what? Gay men run the gamut of extremely effeminate to the dude you tailgate with before heading to a pro football game. The silliness of your summation is astounding. Try again.
Lastly, you claim, “They taunt the vulnerable even on our tv sets, adding subversive messages to every child’s show, from Glee to True Blood.” True Blood?! This series is shown on HBO during late night! It is no more ‘child appropriate’ than the Sopranos, Entourage, Sex in the City, or a host of other series on HBO!

Remember this, in the old tales, your god could work even through demons (doubt me? Read your bible, specifically, the book of Job). Even demons could speak truths which work towards your god’s design. Even warlocks/magicians, in your bible, supposedly could recognize your god’s power and do the work of your god.
So, look at the responses to your article. Maybe your god is whispering to you, talking to you, wanting you to recognize what your articles and unchristian behavior has been doing *to the reputation of your god*.
When the bible says, “Thou shalt not take the lord’s name in vain,” I always remember the history of using other people’s names. When one says “the lord says,” “the lord hates,” or “the lord wants”, one *IS* speaking in your god’s name. *You* are speaking in your god’s name. And if you are claiming that “the god loves x” when the god doesn’t, you take *his* name in vain.
Perhaps that’s why the bible also admonishes christians to refrain from judging other humans *at all*, even when a person seems to be doing something terrible (‘give to caesar’s what is caesar’s’ is a whole other bag of worms about the distinction between motives for having a government apart from a religion). If you are a christian, what right *do* you have to morally judge another person, when it is solely your god’s divine right to judge humans? (it makes me glad i’m an atheist, as i don’t have such admonishments to worry about ;D – please tell me you can recognize a joke when you read one).
While not a christian, i *respect* the mere idea of religions, in so far as i can find good in them. Sometimes i even love the ideas in religions. You, it seems to me, are not the voice of god, nor – should he exist – does he speak through you. Take care. Should your devil exist, i believe that it would be the devil which would be speaking through you.
I mean, what better way to make a large amount of people reject and hate a true god and his followers, than to pervert the ideas of that god, claim that one is speaking in the god’s name, and then act so grotesquely in defiance of the very word of that god.
You may feel sorry for me, as according to you, I’m going to hell (again, don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched). I feel sorry for you, even *IF* god exists, because it also says that it would be better for a person to die a horrible death, than lead people astray from the word of god. Judging from the vehement repugnance you’ve generated in the non-christian commenters to this article, as well as the hostile statements that people like *you* are the reason why they are not christian, you have helped drive a great number of people away from the faith you profess to follow.
Thank you, I think i’ll stick to reading the bible, rather than your words, when i am curious about some part of christian beliefs. Your articles, i can use to remind christians of just how badly their faith can be skewed, and of how ugly it sounds when they judge other humans so rapidly, rather than pray, try to understand, and even communicate *with* those ‘sinners’.

That’s Stevie for you. “I know nothing about a subject, but I know it’s evil! EEEHHHH! *waggles cane at people while grunting old man grunt*”
Even IF True Blood is popular amongst the youth (which in your mind is younger than 30 so those of you reading this, make of that what you will), the fact is it’s ADULT material, and lumping it in with a show that has a much younger demographic in mind (the high-school going and up group) is incredibly stupid.

These articles both crack me up and infuriate me. The lack of knowledge of some people astounds me, and, as an academic scholar of the Bible myself, it amazes me how the Bible is used to basically justify anything an individual wishes to justify, regardless of any actual FACTS to the contrary.
Here is an article from a REAL “investigative journalist” who actually knows the Bible, knows Greek, and knows that the words in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 are very misleading:
http://www.wouldjesusdiscriminate.org/biblical_evidence/no_fems_no_fairies.html
See, in academia, we are taught that you shouldn’t make any arguments based on things you know nothing about. Mr. Billings is an expert of saying things he doesn’t understand, like criticizing shows he has never watched (Glee, True Blood), criticizing religions he has never studied (Islam – Read the Qur’an once and let me know how many evil terrorist plots you actually find within), and, above all, his seeming obsession with gays (Is your husband gay? Obama is gay! Etc.).
Now, I am assuming that Mr. Billings must have attended some institute of higher learning, no? Surely you can’t become an “investigative journalist” without having high credentials, otherwise any nitwit hiding in their basement, researching gay porn til all hours of the night, could call themselves such!

Every demographic has people who do “moral” and “immoral” things (not that I think drugs and sex should be labeled as immoral, but I have to write in a way Stephenson can understand through his thick skull). It might come as a huge shock, but there are straight Christian men who go to work every day, contribute to society, go to church every Sunday, then go to cheap motels with their mistresses to have sex and smoke pot, then go home to kiss their kids good night and get into bed with their wives. That’s right, sex and drugs are not limited to gay hipsters, or even gays and hipsters!! Actually, I’m living proof that you’re narrow-minded and bigoted. I’m a 23-year-old gay hipster who has never done drugs and is waiting for the right man before having sex. I’m a college graduate with a job. I lend my time and energy to charitable causes, like the green movement, animal rescue/rights, AIDS prevention, cancer research, and marriage equality (yes it is a constitutional right).

It is funny how people think the down fall of humanity has to do what everyone’s decision except theirs lol. YOu know maybe if Christians actually loved people like Christ did then none of this would be going on. Have you ever thought about that? The bible is very clear that it is God’s love that leads us to repentence.
When are you going to take responsibility that the reason the world will continue to change in what you consider a negative manner is because of articles like this? This article does not have an ounce of any of the fruits of the spirit that the Bible talks about.
Romans 13 Talk about love and that it doesnt matter what you do, if you dont have love than your just as bad. All have fallen short of God’s glory and you need to eat some humble pie and realize that it is only by His grace that you are not doing things that you proclaim to despise.
I normally just laugh at articles like this but it is time for people to take responsibilty for being a bunch of hatemongers lol. That is what my grandmother would call people like you.
I am in no way trying to be disrespectful but here is a challenger for you. If you really want to see the world around you change, how about you love people. Instead of bashing people, why dont you allow Christ to shine though you? How about you allow this to be an opportunity to watch God come though.

It’s a link to an actual suicide note written by a gay teen that chose to take his own life – because of the daily harassment he received from his peers at school. This is the kind of harassment that Stephenson’s writing promotes – and he shares the responsibility for all of the gay kids that have chosen suicide, because they don’t feel there is a place for them in this world.

LMFAO Wow, I must say, this garbage made me laugh so hard, my abs hurt. Yup, this guy got it right. ALL of New York is sacred and hallowed because of 9/11, all gays are fashion-conscious hipsters who only think about sex and hookups and have no desire to have families…yet we’ve been fighting for adoption rights and marriage equality for years. Go figure.
If you actually talked to a gay or lesbian person, you would know that we DO want families and some of us still have “traditional family values”. We love our neighbors (something you people seem to have a problem understanding) Some of us have never touched an illegal drug, go to church, respect our parents and are functioning members of society. I even have a Holy Spirit tattoo!
Yes, it’s true that there is a subculture that revolves around sex and drugs, but NEWSFLASH! Some of your “Christian sons and daughters” are involved in this subculture! Your priests molest little boys and emotionally scar them for life. Your Popes comdemn the use of condoms in AIDS-stricken Africa and have allowed such travesties such as the crusades to occur. You people are a bunch of hypocrits. You can throw Bible verses at us all you want, but some of us can throw them back. “Judge not, and ye shall not be judged. Comdemn not, and ye shall not be condemned.”
Before you continue your hate-mongering, maybe you should walk a mile in our shoes and learn the truth about being gay/lesbian in a culture that hates us. Maybe you should talk to those who have attempted to take their lives because of trash like this article, and the cruel, cutting remarks of “Christians” such as yourself. Maybe you should look into the latest research that proves that homosexuality IS NOT A CHOICE! We didn’t CHOOSE to be scorned and hated by our families, friends, church congregations and random members of society. We try to live our lives and be happy, just like everyone else. We aren’t trying to take down the Christian church. So why can’t you people just leave us be and let God do the judging!

I’m still reading around for the punchline. Did it get chopped off of the bottom or something? What a an absolute joke of an article. Stephenson, you are an absolute homophobic imbecile. When are people like you going to die off so us sane people can be live without this vitriol. Or at least you should all move to your own island and sit around and worry and snort and anger each other about other peoples sex lives. Of course, it would be awfully interesting to find out how many of you started sleeping with members of the same sex or masturbating while hanging by your neck from a coconut tree. I’m sure it’s been covered in the thread above but what exactly are you doing with these young children you motivate and “entertain” at parties? I shudder to think.

The Popular mindset changes. I am not here to Flame war. what i am wondering, is why we are focusing on the symptom and not the causes. The old sayings really do have merit as do the words of the Bible. forgive me if i am paraphrasing but somewhere it says: “without a vision the people perish,”
Idle, directionless, hopelessness, decadence, these trends will continue even when the money runs dry. No vision, nothing in sight worth taking, only a future as regrettable as the past. “Idle hands are the Devil’s plaything.” has been true and will continue to be true till all human life ends on this earth. give them something to do and something to strive for. the ‘soulessness’ of america would be reduced. the great schism between our wealthy and our poor would be reduced. this is a societal and economic problem, not an unexpected stand-alone moral decent. this happens every time the nation is jobless and has nothing to do.
deliver america from the cause. stop whoring out our manufacturing jobs overseas. Pull back the money we add to the international shell-game called foreign banks. put the cap on America’s econemy till we can steady the boat, if we need to rely on ourselves, we will, and once again the world will be in awe of our strengths and blessedness. or if that doesnt float your boat why not open the floodgates, completly integrate and penetrate every other country on the planet not as we do now with our ideas, technologies and franchises but by globalizing our people like never before. we may pull the whole world closer to ours that is of course so long as we are ok with the standards of living in foreign countries like china where oppression is the only way it runs.

Mr. Billings, I feel sorry for you. I really do. How terrible it must be to spend your days and nights terrified of love between two people.
Look at the love you have for your wife. Do you love her because she has breasts? No. Do you love her because she shaves her legs? No. You love her for her personality, her smile, her eyes, her kiss. Personality, smiles, eyes, and kisses are things that both sexes have. Love, Mr. Billings, is a human thing.
While gay couples may not be able to reproduce, their love for one another is not anything less than that in a straight couple. The only reason they seem “unequal” is because you’ve been told over and over by your church, by your community, by people who are scared of something different from themselves.
In my college experiences, I have found that the gay couples I know are far more caring, far more committed, and far more moral than most straight couples. They understand the sacredness of love and look to kindle and bring it to life.
I implore that you take a step outside your comfort level and find your local GLBT center and take a visit. You will be surprised by what you find.

There is no more depravity in the gay community than exists in the straight community. The difference is the gay community flaunts their depravity while the straight community keeps is behind closed doors, locked in closets or in the religious community hidden and festering like an infected wound to our world. It was not the depraved that Christ cursed it was those who were self righteous.
You will be judged with the measure you judge, I pray that we all learn appreciation for all creation. If it is created is it not God who created it. Is it not therefore in its nature to be judged good. After all either Christ’s work was complete on the cross or it was not. You can not have both.

not going to reiterate everything that was said above about this piece being a hateful, misinformed and altogether disgusting display of human stupidity, bigotry and ignorance – i agree with all those comments. i would like to say, however, that i personally know the 5 men in the picture you posted at the top of the article. FYI, they aren’t gay. this was a publicity photo for their band (Boy Crisis – check them out!!). i would think twice if i were you before choosing at random a picture to represent a group of people who you neither understand nor respect. you are making an assumption that because of the way they are dressed, they must necessarily be homosexual. this type of profiling is dangerous and prejudicial. just because someone chooses to dress in a certain way, that you classify as “homosexual”, does not mean that they are of a specific sexual orientation. furthermore, not all gay people dress the same. in fact, many gay men and women that i know have extremely personalized styles that don’t fit into any specific category.
you insist on using hyperbole, grandiose vocabulary and “academic” approaches to your writing, but yet you make fundamental mistakes, those of an amateur, a middle school student, a journalist for WSJ: always, ALWAYS, know your sources. this carelessness to do any research before blatantly assigning a stereotype to an picture you probably found on the first page of a google image search but didn’t bother to explore further, only exemplifies your lack of professionalism, your conclusion-before-experiment methods and your insistence on hatred of the unknown, not love of new discoveries.
you really are awful in every way.

If you’re throwing Leviticus around, let’s try some Deuteronomy 22:13-21
“13Suppose a man starts hating his wife soon after they are married. 14He might tell ugly lies about her, and say, ” I married this woman, but when we slept together, I found out she wasn’t a virgin.”
15If this happens, the bride’s father and mother must go to the town gate to show the town leaders the proof that the woman was a virgin. 16Her father will say, ” I let my daughter marry this man, but he started hating her 17and accusing her of not being a virgin. But he is wrong, because here is proof that she was a virgin!” Then the bride’s parents will show them the bed sheet from the woman’s wedding night.
18The town leaders will beat the man with a whip 19because he accused his bride of not being a virgin. He will have to pay her father one hundred pieces of silver and will never be allowed to divorce her.
20But if the man was right and there is no proof that his bride was a virgin, 21the men of the town will take the woman to the door of her father’s house and stone her to death.
This woman brought evil into your community by sleeping with someone before she got married, and you must get rid of that evil by killing her.”
Guess we have to stone all brides who aren’t virgins (95% of them – including Christians – aren’t.) And I sure hope your shirt isn’t a poly-blend; that, too, is an abomination.
You can’t pick and choose the parts that serve you best. Stop with the fear.

I’ve never listened to Dr. Laura a day in my life. I just happen to know the scripture. Why not respond to the meat of what I said instead of just insinuating lethargy? You, sir, use your holy text as a justification for hate but ignore what it says when it gets in the way of your modern life. If you and others like you would live in the spirit of Christ instead of the literal words of the Bible, your lives would be much different and greatly enriched. Christ was a caring, compassionate, loving man who wouldn’t turn his back on or judge anybody. He was merciful and kind. He loved the wretched and glorious alike.
And here you are, a supposed disciple of this man, wanting to mirror that unconditional love for the human spirit, and you sit here condemning, judging and harassing people that you do not know and do not encounter, based solely on rumors, gossip and media hype. I happen to live in Bushwick. Most people here and in the surrounding area (can you even find Williamsburg on a map?) are just kids trying to get by doing what they love. And they are KIDS. Young folks wanting to experience the world. Sometimes they go too far, sure, but that’s what being young is about, just trying to figure out this mess of a society and where in the world we fit in.
I guess what it comes down to is this: I am more than willing, inviting even, to let you loonies run free and love your Jesus and have a bunch of hate swirling about in that abyss where your heart should be. Fine. Please. Do it. I will say nothing bad about you to anyone ever nor will I try to stop you from living a life that makes you happy although I, in a million years, will never understand it. What in the world do we have to do to get you to give us – us as in any permutation of non-Christian, queer, artist, open-minded folk – the same consideration? These young, faggoty hipsters aren’t going to stop being that way, and your hate for them certainly isn’t going quell their proliferation. They act out because you repress them. At the end of the day, they want the same things we all want: Love, consideration, and respect.

IRS Claims Hipster Owes $172 Million
Agency files huge lien against ex-Alphabet City man

AUGUST 24–The Internal Revenue Service claims that a Spanish émigré who once lived in a New York City tenement owes it $172 million in back taxes.
The federal tax lien was filed last month against Marcos Esparza Bofill, who the IRS claims owes it nine figures in connection with his 2006 tax return. According to the lien, the former Alphabet City resident owes exactly $172,101,056.48.

I agree with some of the content of this article, but the bias and the phrasing is just idiotic. For one… it’s hard for me to comprehend how people can still believe in God in this day and age. If homosexuality is an abomination, “God” should be smiting them left and right or sending a couple floods through to keep em low, eh? No? Oh wait, they’re able to continue living their life unmolested by a ‘higher power’?
I do hate hipsters though. They lead a contradictory lifestyle which is a poison, but to hate them because they are homosexual is foolishness. Homosexuals can contribute as much to society, and be just as intelligent as heterosexuals. Sexuality should have no bearing on things today, and yet it will, as race continues to.
The true poison in the veins of the United States is all of the intolerance, half-educated people who see something and decide it’s fundamentally wrong without stating any sensible reasons. Those people are the ones who should be done away with. Stupidity is our worst enemy.
