Chris Buttars will continue to give voice to his conscious and unconscious bigotry through the continual denial of civil rights to a segment of our population.<BR/><BR/>I'm ashamed of his behavior and its impact on Utah and how much damage he continues to do in the name of religious belief. For the record, his belief isn't "true" as claimed by Devin... the truth of his words are found in the way he stereotypes a class of people with broadly negative stripes.<BR/><BR/>Certainly, he isn't the first nor will he be the last to lead the charge using negative stereotypes to broadly cover a whole group of people.<BR/><BR/>Devin, would you mind exposing your beliefs by explaining how Buttar's comments are "TRUE" as you claim.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173887353664562049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428079.post-4476840763965685442009-02-20T21:26:00.000-07:002009-02-20T21:26:00.000-07:00...and no, Chino, I am not the least bit ashamed....and no, Chino, I am not the least bit ashamed.devin7https://www.blogger.com/profile/07724304005410004411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428079.post-42278582006582285202009-02-20T21:22:00.000-07:002009-02-20T21:22:00.000-07:00Hey Chino, I support what he said.
