Uhh.

OK.  I _was_ going to flame, but I've thought better of it.

I will, however, just say that as a bisexual man into BDSM (and, I 
suppose, since I use my guns in my BDSM I'm also into a form of 
fetishism), that statement is extremely offensive to me.  

To me, there's no difference between that statement and the reverse -- 
"We have no problem with reasonable, natural, het stuff -- it's them 
pervert faggots that we don't want here."

Sorry.  I don't think the way to deal with these kinds of issues is to 
censor content, especially when it seems to be based on orientation.  

-roy, faggot wannabe.
