She is a speaker that we book fairly often. We get a lot of hate mail for her.
Why do people hate Helen Thomas so much?
Much of what we hear are derogatory comments regarding Helen Thomas’s appearance. This really pisses me off. As if the way she looks has anything to do with ANYTHING. I cannot think of a single time that I have seen a male journalist being criticized for his appearance. And there are a lot of ugly journalists out there.
My other rant today is about gay marriage. Obviously, I am supportive of gay marriage and gay rights. What annoys me is that while it is perfectly acceptable, encouraged in fact, for two women to get together and make out and have sex with each other, it is horrifying and wrong should those same two women actually want to GET MARRIED. Evil Evil Evil Lesbians! It is okay for you to be sexual with each other because it gives men erections, but it ends there girls! There will be no love or genuine emotion for each other! Sex only! No love! Love is for heterosexuals only! No soup for you! Come back, six months!
And honestly, those opposed to gay marriage really need to come up with a better argument than the whole “sanctity of marriage” bullshit. There is no sanctity left anywhere in the US.
