Obligatory Health Warnings Tattoed on Gay People
7 10 2008There are no words for this…actually there are but in the interest of appearing ladylike I’ll avoid the use of explitives here.
A British priest, chaplain to the Stock Exchange, is in hot water (boil his ass I say!) for suggesting on his blog:Â “Let us make it obligatory for homosexuals to have their backsides tattooed with the slogan SODOMY CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH and their chins with FELLATIO KILLS.”
Peter Mullen
Shockingly Peter Mullens blog entries have now been deleted and he is facing calls for his resignation and disciplinary action. Disciplinary action!!! How can there even be a decision to be made here? Yes we all have the right to free speech. However if you’re in a position of authority or are a person to whom people in a community look to for guidance, you should keep potentially hate insighting comments to yourself.
Mullen said in an interview with the Daily Telegraph: “Anybody with an ounce of sense of humour or any understanding of the tradition of English satire would immediately assume that they’re light-hearted jokes.”
Light-hearted jokes…yes indeed…and being nailed to the stake is just an old fashion method of chiropracty. If it was just a joke why did he say in the Telegraph in March:
“…in the 1960’s…I voted for homosexuality to be decriminalised. But this meant “between consenting adults in private” - where “between” meant two, “adults” meant men over 21 and “private” meant behind locked doors.
“I did not foresee the obscene and coercive “Gay Pride” pantomimes that now disfigure our high streets.”
“How long before I am carted from the pulpit to the nick for preaching that sodomy is not morally equivalent to Christian marriage?”
He sounds like a real sweetheart…as we speak I’m sending him an invite to my next movie night. I’m sure he’ll welcome some more gay friends!
How about we have all people who are preachers that have affairs, and molest kids, have Jesus loving pervert tattooed on them?

Ah but then we’d be just like them! It could end up being a battle of the tattoo artists…who can tattoo who first!? What surprises me most is that this guy wasn’t dismissed immediately…or for that matter…dismissed in March when he made more homophobic comments. We’re all allowed an opinion but some people, depending on the position they hold, need to keep their opinion to themselves!
So, since lesbians have one of the lowest incidents of HIV, perhaps we need to suggest other tattoos:
- We should then tattoo every heterosexual woman’s face with “cunnilingus would be better for my health.”
- We should tattoo every gay woman with “My sex is healthier than yours,” across their forearm (because that would look tough)
…there are so many others…
Ooh I like the idea of suggesting alternatives! Endless possibilities!
Or we could place a (mental) health warning on the foreheads of engaged couples:
Warning! 2 out of 3 marriages fail!!
Won’t someone think of the children!
Oh but wait, this latest attack on the gays is just “satire” so we really shouldn’t take it personally.
Righhhhtttt…
Lets just take everyone in the World…form a long line…ask them what category we can pigeonhole them and then tattoo the lot of em while we’re at it! Although tattooing everyone would make it alot easier to spot a lesbian and could thus make it easier to get a date…every cloud HAS a silver lining!
