Conor D. Oil @RealConorOil I am not "homosexual". I have gay thoughts every now and then, like everyone. But what separates me from the liberals is that I don't act on them. Every day I wake up and CHOOSE not to be gay. And you must do the same. That's what real patriotism looks like.
If you have to wake up and choose not to act on your "gay thoughts" every single day, I have news for you, pet.

Exactly what football doesn't need. The people being screwed are the supporters. And on a larger scale, the same cold be said of those of Wedt Ham, Spurs, Man U and, I imagine, quire a few others.
