“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”
Victims may say this to bullies, but it may not necessarily be true.
In 2007, “that’s so gay” was addressed in a student lawsuit. A female student at Maria Carillo High in Santa Rosa, California used the term and was disciplined by educators. The parents of the student fired back with a lawsuit, claiming that the school violated First Amendment rights of their daughter.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if this girl didn’t even know the origin of that term. The kids who get caught saying it will claim it’s been decontextualized, but others will say, `No, you know what that means.’ It’s quite talked about,” Rick Ayers, who helped compile and publish “Berkeley High School Slang Dictionary,” told the Associated Press.

"They Stepped on a Duck (Joke?)!"
Mrs. Gary,
I apologize for the stress I've put you through; but the truth.......I was
thrown for a loop the way you started concurring with Dr. Gary after that
Thanksgiving visit. From my perspective, Thanksgiving was just a coincidence.
Since you felt the need to justify inviting someone into your home that made you
uncomfortable even before I stepped foot in your home; want to remind you it
was the Puritans who burned witches at the stakes also. That was neither clever
or fair.
Yes. I do have a crystal meth addiction. To buy and sell crystal meth is
illegal. To have a crystal meth addiction is not illegal. Addictions are very
common in the gay community, especially with the men (sex,
alchohol,and....yes... recreational drugs of which cyrtal meth is just one of
many). For some reason crystal meth has a different effect with me than most
men. It is a speed only, which at first was not a problem, just a pick-me-up
before going to work after a party weekend (Hotlanta, New Orleans Halloween, New
Orleans Southern Decadence, Chicago International Men of Leather...queen in
leather is still a queen/very miliary theme also......Birmingham Rites of
Spring, Miami White Party, New York Black Party....leather again, San Fransico
Folsom Street Fair, etc. etc. etc.). Eventually it got to where I couldn't go
anywhere without it; chanced gettting caught flying back to Arkansas for my two
neice's weddings. Never drugged tested at work either which would have been a
felony and lost of my license to practice. I can stop doing it, but crash for
2-3 weeks; then depression sets in not because of work but because no social
network inside or outside of veterinary medicine threre for me when I come off
the drug. Don't let the illegal part confuse you. I've always had a colorful
language within the gay community; which they didn't care much for either.
Too late fore me to try to start my own clinic staff with people of my
choosing. I realized I had to do my own intervention. I was actually waiting
for Dr. Gary that day. You said he would be there in an hour and that you two
were equal head of household. It was apparent to me that Dr. Gary was only
being civil to me because you opened the gate to our little neighborly chat. I
knew you were a Christian wife; just didn't know if Dr. Gary was a good doctor
or a bad doctor........think Dorothy.....lol. That;s why I went back to get the
painting and the rubber duckies......so we could have more to talk about as I
was waiting for either Rev Bob or Dr. Bob or just liberal Bob.
Right now.....Dr. Gary is the one I'm pissed off at.....not you...although
it may not sound that way. Bob may not have realized....he concurred also with
my mother against me over the cellphone. On one of my phone calls with my mother
I ask, " Am I correct in believeing you've spoken with Mrs. Gary?" My mother
answered back almost excited," YES I HAVE! HIM TOO!" My mother said you had
nothing but nice things to say about me; she thought Bob was a DICK. She took
it like a compliment; yet she doesn't want her son to be gay still. Now I
can't turn her off!
Is there a Men's Bible Study Group at Glenwood Memorial Church I could sit
in on just to see what mature Methodist Men discuss. I do consider myself
mature Methodist as far a Christians are concerned. I was born into a Methodist
Chruch and without realizing it.....was calling myself atheist before I
graduated Prescott High School. Brother Walthal didn't correct me...in fact he
stumbled.... when I answered his question: "Why believe in God?" No wonder no
one suggested I be baptised. Would you be upset if I attended a few Sunday
sermons....I do have a suit?
Was okay with what the Baptist preacher said when he married my eldest
neice to the baseball coach. Not sure what kind of preacher married the younger
one to the campus policeman. Couln't hear a word he said. He was cute though;
seemed in a hurry to leave the wedding with his cute girlfriend
also.
Dr. Gary,
I just got back from Georgia Regional Hospital with copies of my medical
records as well as those from Dekalb Crisis Center. While I was there, I spoke
to my doctor, Dr. Parker, a small black women. I had just received another
pathetic letter from my mother, whom I stopped all communication with, still
believing her son has a mental illness. What I wanted to know from Dr. Parker,
was my diagnosis which not told to me on release, as well as, what was told to
my mother.
Bipolar being the diagnosis, I tried to show her copies from my blog www.twistedpurplecow.blogspot.com which came to creation, from
my anger at both you and Janet concurring against me from right across the
street. You may or not be aware, but over the cellphone with my family in
Arkansas, you've concurred with my mother against me as well; being all it took
sending my life into a tail spin. It does not have to be intentional to fit the
definition of "conspiracy."
Dr. Parker refused and began to get nervous, anxious, in a hurry to rush me
out of the facility. Very calmly and professionally, I told her:
"Dr. Parker, hate to inform you; not only have you have failed in your
responsibility to me as your patient, it's ..not.. bipolar if good
reasons."
She could not even explain to me what happens when I start thinking
...clearer... on medication that takes months to see any results? How would we
know when it's working? Not even what made her think I wasn't thinking
.....clearly...now? Making it worth riskng serious effect associated with those
medicines?
Last thing she said as she pushed me out the door:
"If you yell at your neighbors across the street again, you will be brought
back here."
That was all I needed to know.
As my definition of "LIBERAL" is honest, fair, and reasonable; believe I
have accummulated enought evidence to justify my end,
the reason being:
Those with a supplus are better able to control their circumstances; those
without are control by them. One is not always able to excercise good
judgment.
"Those" and "them" being the day Janet started concurring with you
against me, a simple honest man with a hearing impairment keeping distance
between him and his dysfunction family in Arkansas.
I'm getting ready to find a civil lawyer to represent me here in Atlanta;
one in Arkansas representing both my finacial interest here and there in
Prescott.
There will be no more yelling and screaming. You will be amazed how much
I've learned just living across the street from George Robert Gary, Thb. just
know his wife; the resourses available to him I did not. All I wanted that day I
scared Janet was some grandfatherly advice at that time.
My problem being then: how does one go ask for help if not sure where to
begin?
Wanted some advise on where to go; not able to understand some returns with
personilized search engine on my computer as well as an opportunity/openening
for a mid-life crisis career change.
James Edward Avery, DVM is not unempolyed; just retired from clinical
practice of veterinary medicine wanting into the polical arena.
Until you two stop concurring against me and remove that restraining order;
you are neither liberal or mature Christian inside or outside a church. I do
understand confict of interest, and why resistent to women as ordained
ministers; do not have to respect yours, Emory University, even that of my
family if not fair, reasonable with me.
Why can't Phil be a writer as well as a preacher, Bob?
Just call it fiction.
All he has to do is make sense.
Next move is your's and Janet.
Only then will I be able to forgive and forget.
Total Grace; not Christian Grace.

Which Wed. and which Sat. are we talking about?
As far as calling mother, I have nothing to offer conversation wise that
is positive or care to engage in conversation nothing more than brain candy. If
mother has something to say that might be of interest to me, she can send me
another letter. I do read them. They mostly just make me angry; things like
making George cry while he cuts her hair. Had to roll my eyes upwards as I sat
in jail 2 1/2 weeks where I read that one; waiting on her to make up her mind
whether to bail me out, at her mercy, as her phone number was the only number I
had memorized. Even gave her the names of two veterinarians associates and how
and where to reach them who might be willing to bail me out sooner had they
known I was in jail.....which she did not do. And lets not
forget...DONNA...that's after 5 weeks in Georgia Regional Hospital
with....YOUR.....help.
If ever anything I want to reply to....will send you an email to pass on
to ... HER! Far as I'm concerned, that woman is dead and buried. It has become
to obvious to me... NOW ... up to the day she dies.... would rather a dead son
than a daffodil for a son...would rather give a grown man up for adoption than
accept she raised a gay son.
What an ironic twist of an old story: instead of a father throwing an
adolescent gay son out into the streets; a grown man having to disown his own
mother because she refuses to understand she's the only one who has ever come
close to gay bashing her own son.
You are more than welcomed to come here without her and bring with you
whomever you like. You would love gay bingo....or... alcohol infused Gosple
Sunday with the drag queens....if they still even have them here. I would go to
them if I had someone to go with.
Whatever; let's just get it over with.
LOL
