Open Letter to Clint McCance - October 28, 2010

Dear Mr. McCance:

 

I’m writing in regards to your recent comments expressing your delight about the recent string of gay suicides.  In your comments, you claim to be a devout Christian. While I would love to absolutely blast you for your hateful, bigoted commentary, I will keep this simple.

 

As the saying goes, “What Would Jesus Do?” Could you sit in a room with the parents of these dead CHILDREN and read your comments out loud? Could you do it if Jesus were sitting there, looking over your shoulder? Do you think Jesus would try to provide care and comfort to these parents, to their suffering children? Or do you think he’d be likely to come to Arkansas and drink beer with you and your buddies while you decimate the English language, spout your filthy death-wishes, and LOUDLY APPLAUD THE DEATH OF CHILDREN?  I’ll bet Jesus would love that!

 

Remember, Jesus was a radical.  He wasn’t hanging out with people in positions of power, such as yourself.  He was in the streets with the poor, the downtrodden, the whores and the lepers. If you think he’d be giving you a high-five for your Facebook comments and helping you clean your guns, I think you’re mistaken.

 

Imagine reading these comments to your wife after she found one of your children hanging in the backyard because they couldn’t take the hate and ignorance any longer.  You can say you would run your kids off if they were gay, but would you be joyful if your 13 year old blew his head off in your closet and you found his lifeless body?  Would you dance around spewing hate? Would you say, “Yee-Haw! Now I don’t have to wish for my gay son to get AIDS and die later! He’s dead NOW!” Again, what would you do if Jesus were in the room with you?

 

You, sir, are ignorant. That’s not a hateful statement, it is simply a fact. You are ignorant about the importance of raising children in a supportive, bully-free, environment. You are totally ignorant about gay people, but that doesn’t seem to bother you.  Perhaps most egregiously, (go ahead, look it up, I can wait) you are ignorant about Christ and his teachings. Far too many people parade around “Christian Values” that are anything but “Christ-like”.  Although you, literally, wished for me to DIE because of who I love, my wish for you is that something comes along, perhaps this current controversy, that helps you get your head out of your ass.  It will have to be something pretty major, because your head is shoved *really* far up there.

 

Whether you like it or not, there ARE gay children in the the Midland School District, and you are obviously unfit to serve their needs on the school board, just as you are unfit to meet ANY children’s needs in your district. Please understand, you wished for these CHILDREN to die in the same breath that you professed your devout Christianity. Disgusting.  That you are in any position that affects children’s educational needs in any capacity makes me truly weep for the future.  May God have mercy on you.

 

Sincerely,
