Hang Or Shoot Gay People? Norman Linton Wants To Hear From You: (345)945-7554

Hats off to the Cayman Islands for being a “welcoming jurisdiction to all people.”

The latest parade of hatred includes a genius named Norman Linton who stops short of advocating hanging or shooting homosexuals. He also draws Alabama and Mississippi into the mix for some odd reason as Alabama and Mississippi had zero reported incidents of sexual-orientation related hate crimes for the most recent reporting period.

But apparently Cayman can feel proud of itself for not shooting or hanging Aaron Chandler and his boyfriend and they both should count themselves as lucky for being in such a safe jurisdiction while they were not breaking the law.

In Cayman you never hear of anyone hanging from a tree; being shot in a drive by; having their hand chopped off; having their face slashed with a machete; tourists being assaulted; senselessly butchering endangered blue iguanas; being murdered and stuffed in a car and set on fire… But if you did hear of stuff like this happening in Cayman, I’m sure it would be because of homosexual activity, right Norm?

Norman also says that men or women kissing in public makes him gag. I don’t guess you go to a lot of weddings, do ya Norm? And Valentine Day must REALLY suck at the Linton household.

Norman’s “different countries have different rules” philosophy has already been refuted as Cayman doesn’t appear to have a law or even a rule about people kissing in public; but that didn’t stop him from applying faulty logic in his comparative analysis of multi-jurisdictional human rights statutes in an attempt to make the violation participated in by Cayman somehow less significant because in our incident no one was shot or hanged. Everyone in Cayman stand up and pat yourselves on your backs.

So, if you’re from Alabama, Mississippi or Iran – give Norman a call or drop him a postcard and enlighten him as to exactly what is and isn’t an okay way to treat human beings. His phone number out of the Cable and Wireless online directory is (345) 945-7554 and his address is below.

Show your support for his right to freedom of expression and ask him why his exercise of that right is somehow more significant than others’ rights to freely express love and affection to their significant others.

And ask him how much solace he finds in a not altogether accurate fact that people get shot and hung in other jurisdictions but not in Cayman.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be in Florida on the beach today. I’d ask Norm to join me but the beach I go to doesn’t allow violence-advocating, dumb-ass, close-minded, hateful, idiotic, separatist, mental midgets – but it does allow beer.

Maybe the gay kissers should try Iran? They would be hung there or shot. (I’m not sure I’d try it in Alabama or Mississippi either).

I personally don’t care about what people do in the privacy of their own homes. But men or women kissing each other in public makes me gag.

Different countries have different rules. For example, it is OK to have a glass of wine or beer on the beach in Cayman, but you would be arrested for doing so on many Florida beaches.

No one in North Side believes this was a suicide:

The hardliners, cavemen ( way back thinkers) and the "men of the cloth" are revvvvvving up for the election. The hard liners hope to influence their favorite politico to continue with the backward, no long term thinking approach to Cayman's social and economic woes. The "men of the cloth".....want....well I don't think they know what they want. When did Cayman's clergy make the transformation to economic and political experts. Instead of working up a sweat and getting a hoasre voice over homosexuals and protecting their croonie politico they should be preaching about, adultery, child abuse, early pregnancy, single motherhood, gangs violence and on and on and on. I know in my heart that the Linton's and far wing clergy are in the minority, I just wish the rest of us would speak up more often to drown out their dribble.
All the best

I WILL GRANT THAT THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN TWO MEN LAY WITH EACH OTHER IT IS AN ABOMINATION. HOWEVER, IT DOESN'T SAY TO HATE THOSE TWO MEN.

THE BIBLE ALSO SAYS NOT TO WORSHIP FALSE IDOLS BUT TOO MANY PARISHONERS DEIFY THEIR PASTORS WHEN THEY SHOULD BE MORE AWARE THAT THE PREACHERS, PRIESTS, PASTORS, ETC... ARE NOT CLOSER TO GOD IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THEY STAND IN AN ELEVATED PULPIT.

GOD DIDN'T BRING US INTO HEAVEN TO TEACH US, HE CAME DOWN TO EARTH. IF MORE RELIGIOUS LEADERS WERE DOWN TO EARTH AND SPENT A LITTLE TIME IN THE (IN THE WORDS OF JOHNNY CASH) THE MUD, THE BLOOD, AND THE BEER THEY MIGHT HAVE A MORE REALISTIC PERSPECTIVE ON THEIR TEACHINGS.

I WISH PEOPLE WERE MORE WARY OF LEADERS WHO TRY TO CONVINCE THEM HOW SMART OR HOW HOLY THEY ARE. "HE SPEAKS MUCH, WHO KNOWS LITTLE."

THANKS FOR YOU COMMENTS LACH - rtm

Well I finally read the above comments suggesting that I should be subject to a hate campaign of some sort for expressing my opinion. And thanks for giving my address and phone number.
By the way no letters or calls were received.
I suggest you start out by re-reading my comments as published.
Nowhere did I say that I hated gays or they should be hung. This is just not true. Nor does it reflect my views, which have been totally twisted out of proportion. In fact I support gay marriage. Shame on you!

To repeat, my points were as follows:
1. Men kissing makes me gag. Sorry but it does. Take a survey, most men feel the same way.

2. Different countries and states have different laws and points of view.

To give a personal example, my fiancee is from Hong Kong. It is not considered proper to make any public displays of affection in Hong Kong. Even between a man and a woman. So guess what, when we are in Hong Kong we don't kiss or hold hands in public.

Is it that hard to try to stay in tune with the sensibilities of the country you are in?

Or must you insist on forcing your point of view down everyone's throat?

Norman Linton

ACTUALLY YES - I DO INSIST ON FORCING MY POINT OF VIEW DOWN EVERYONE'S THROAT.

ADDRESSING YOUR POINTS:
1) THAT IS A GENERALIZATION BY A HOMOPHOBIC MALE. ASK A NON-HOMOPHOBE AND THEY DON'T GIVE A TOSS ABOUT TWO MEN KISSING. I NOTICE YOU DON'T MENTION TWO WOMEN KISSING. YOU MUST HAVE CINEMAX

2)YES DIFFERENT STATES HAVE DIFFERENT LAWS. I'M NOT AWARE THAT PDA IS A CRIME IN CAYMAN.

I'VE BEEN TO HONG KONG AND I AM ADMITTEDLY IGNORANT OF LOCAL MORES REGARDING PDA BETWEEN CONSENTING ADULTS, WHICH IS WHY I DIDN'T THINK TWICE ABOUT HOLDING MY GIRLFRIEND'S HAND OR STEALING AN OCCASSIONAL KISS IN PUBLIC. I WAS NOT ARRESTED, ACCOSTED, CONFRONTED BY ANYONE OR IN ANYWAY DETAINED OR BERATED FOR MY BEHAVIOUR. GOOD EXAMPLE NORMAN - THANKS FOR HELPING ME MAKE MY POINT.

AND NO, IT'S NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK THAT PEOPLE MAINTAIN THEIR SENSIBILITIES. BUT I ALSO BELIEVE THAT IT'S NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK PEOPLE TO FOSTER AN ATTITUDE OF RESPECT FOR BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS INSTEAD OF FOSTERING DIVISIVNESS AND HATRED. IF MEMORY SERVES A HALF-BLACK US PRESIDENT RAN A SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN BASED UPON THIS VERY THEORY OF UNITY AND PEACE.

BY THE WAY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING POSTING ON MY BLOG? I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO SPEND $100,000 TO SUE ME FOR HARASSMENT.

THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS - rtm
