I have, actually, but I probably have more exposure to a gay community than most straight men do. I'll grant you that its not something I hear often. There is this one guy, "Mama", who must have been the basis for Nathan Lane's character in "The Birdcage". She always refers to gay men in the feminine.Ratman_tf said:I've never heard of gays calling their partner 'Wife'.
Oh my, there are really perverted people out there, the chick people that is. Such a shame tough, the drawings are kinda a nice.Upchurch said:For those of you who just can't get enough hate from Mr. Chick:
Birds and the Bees
The on-going saga of Ms. Henn and Susy takes a new twist when Susy teaches us that homosexuals wear demons on their heads.
and
Unloved
There is a lesson to be learned when children are psychologically abused by their parents.
Ladewig said:If you're going to teach the Bible, you caan't skip over verses. Chick's Sodom tract left out Genesis 19:8 where Lot, the story's hero, offers up his two virgin daughters to the crowd if it leaves the visiting angels alone.
I worked with a woman who regularly called her partner wife. I don't think it is typical, it was simply to her endearing.Abdul Alhazred said:
This is Chick's silly fantasy.
Yes sometimes 'husband' or something silly like 'husbear', but not 'wife'.
Dunno about lesbians though.
Suzy, the bastion of logic and compassion...er she hates THE SIN and not the sinner, right?Susy: God hates homosexuality.
Susy: And the Bible is true.
Susy: I feel so sad about all the kids who will be tricked into believing it is ok to be Gay and not believing in Jesus.
I disagree, its not over the top until the guy loses an limb, eyesight, hearing, or any combination of the 3.dissonance said:It's just so over the top, it's hysterical. Like the poor guys life wasn't bad enough already, Chick has to have him be dying of CANCER! Right out of nowhere, for no apparent reason!
phildonnia said:According to chick, "new laws" apparently forbid bringing Bibles to school. Since I'm sick of hearing this, I think it's time for a challenge.
I will send $50 to any child who was arrested, fined, disciplined, detained, suspended or expelled for bringing a Bible to school. If you know any deserving individual that this might apply to, please direct them to this thread. If you don't know of any examples, then kindly stop referring to this phenomenon as though it really happens.
Obviously I'm not talking about reading from the Bible over a bullhorn in the middle of class, which is something else entirely.
The second to last panel is good too: "Jimmy died four months later". That made me laugh out loud.dissonance said:The funniest part of 'Unloved' is definitely this line:
I'm UNWANTED, UNLOVED, DISOWNED...and the doctor says I'm dying of CANCER!
It's just so over the top, it's hysterical. Like the poor guys life wasn't bad enough already, Chick has to have him be dying of CANCER! Right out of nowhere, for no apparent reason!

Why Chick wrote 'The Birds and the Bees'
http://www.chick.com/birdsandbeesletter.asp
And this line by Susy is classic (emphasis Chick's): "If anyone tries to make you gay, stay away from them!"
Holy crap (literally). I'm trying to figure out a) How someone would try to make someone else gay, and b) How a kid would know if someone was trying to make them gay.
Even if we assume that the story is all about homosexual rape - what level of homophobia does it require to insist that the problem is the 'homosexual' part and not the 'rape' part?Scot C. Trypal said:What’s sad is that the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, from the OT reflections on the “event”, seems to have been originally about inhospitality, glutton, hubris, and more, with only a minor mention of sexual misconduct (which, sure, should include attempted rape of anyone, not to mention angels).
