"Across Seattle, reports alt-weekly The Stranger, posters are appearing linking gay rights and gun rights in ways that are just freaking out the usual control-freaky suspects."

Gay Rights and Gun Rights Linked in Seattle Posters, Causing Control Freaks' Heads To Explode

THAT TRIGGER CONTROL!! ><

I wonder if it has anything to do with Pink Pistols... www.pinkpistols.org
Their motto is "Armed gays don't get bashed." On their website it says they aren't involved.

There was pro gun rally on the mall a few years ago with some gay and cross dressing speakers promoting CC amongst other things. Don't know who organized it but the secret service snipers were on the roof of the EPA building all day!

It's been said before, but gun control is a civil rights issue. Great message, the fact that it causes some liberal heads to explode is even better.

This! Any time we can link our battle with another cause, supported by libs, that's a win.

The rise in attacks on gays in NYC and elsewhere might have something to do with it. Seems like some people figured out that the best way to insure your rights is to exercise ALL your rights.

Considering that homosexual people are now getting attacked regularly in places like New York and France, I would say now is the best time for them to start learning about concealed carry.

I LOVE IT because it gets the freedom hating Democrats and Republicans both angry.

Yeah, I was thinking these guys could stop by Dianne Feinstein's office and give her a quick lesson in the four rules of gun safety.

I find the line "aren't going to take shit from homophobes." a bit off-putting and rather threatening.. especially in the context of what the poster says and the picture of two people who look more like a father and son than gay lovers.
Do we really want supposed gun-rights people (no matter what their other personal beliefs) posting thinly veiled threats in a poster supporting gun rights....
We would not accept that from most extreme right wing "supporters"....

 

[RRHemi]

I think we should accept support from any group as long as they are acting responsibly. The world is an ever changing place with new types of threats popping up all the time. We should be able to defend ourselves.

Love it. Two snaps up and a twist.

There's a whole lot of gay people in this world. It would be nice to have them on our side. I'm OK with this.

Was it "Mens on film?" That was one funny show! "Pilot to co-pilot..."

I'm gonna take my gay friend shooting when he visits from California. Hopefully with my EBR.

 

[circleshooter]

Why...clutch the pearls!

If this can help make a would-be committer of a hate crime, just because they don't like who someone is, think twice....good.

Sadly there still isn't a Pink Pistols chapter in Baltimore. I'd be a member.

I completely agree. It makes it seem like this poster is supporting gay people shooting the first ******* who calls them a name; while that is terrible, it's not a threat to the individual's life and the legal system would definitely not call it justifiable self-defense. I like this poster's concept, but the wording should be different.
