It would seem that your gay Mayor wants to use his position to throw parties Downtown as he frequents the Brick Room, MoJo's and Roadie Joe's with his special friends. So why don't they just call it "Gay Pride Night" and get it over with?
This is the newly proposed crosswalk at Division Street and Main Street. How special.
No wonder there are nothing but fights in these bars. You MUST be kidding about the crosswalk. Really??? I wish the plaza could be a family thing...what happen to that idea???
ReplyDeleteHe is pathetic!
ReplyDeleteThis is just absolutely ridiculous. Does anyone have a head count? I mean how many people showed up?
I agree
DeleteI love being able to tell all of you STUPID people I TOLD YOU SO!!!
ReplyDelete7:53 they are not stupid - and that is what the sad part is. They are brainwashed. I know people who would vote for the worse person in the world simply because they are that person's candidate of their registered party. Crossing party lines in the general election is one of our great liberties but "loyalty" to the part of their choice seems to override any common sense they should have. Brainwashed by their parents or peer group.
ReplyDeleteJoe really, why bring gay into it? Jim is not a bad mayor because he is gay. He is a bad mayor for many other reasons like his decisions, actions, behavior and the current state of Salisbury. Who cares if there were a real gay pride parade? There are many, many gay people in Salisbury who would like to see Jim gone as mayor. Yes, Rehobeth is not the only place you will find gay people here on the Eastern Shore so please get over using the "gay" argument as it is offensive and has nothing to do with Jim's piss poor job as mayor.
ReplyDeleteAgree wholeheartedly. That's like saying Obama is a lousy president because he's black He's a lousy president without question but not because he's black. Ireton's not a good mayor but race or sexuality are of no consequence. Drop your homophobia and your prejudice and at least try to comment without hatred as the basis of your argument.
DeleteFor the record, I'm straight and I still think the gay bashers are wrong!!!!
Homophobic much?
ReplyDeleteoh no you dih int... no you dih int...
ReplyDeleteAmen 8:00am
ReplyDelete8:00, look at the rainbow colors in the background. "PRIDE" for what then? I'm sure our readers would LOVE to hear your excuse for that.
ReplyDeleteSo you don't mind a Gay Pride Parade in Salisbury. Are you suggesting YOU know something the rest of us don't yet?
Man, this Eastern Shore, (if anything) has LOST all its PRIDE. I have nothing against gay people but when a Mayor wants to shut down businesses like the Red Light District, you people want to come on here and criticize me?
What ever happened to America? Gays don't want heterosexual people to enjoy their RIGHTS and FREEDOMS and that is plainly obvious with Ireton's behavior on this matter.
This is the most hate-filled bs I have ever seen on this site. My friend runs The Brick Room, and he happens to be a gay man. He also has been having Pride Night there every week since the place opened. To go full out homophobic because the mayor supports the LGBT community is just childish and deplorable. The amount of fear "the gays" instill in you is really much more telling of you than anyone your talking about.
ReplyDeleteWould you feel the same if a bar held white pride night? Or heterosexual only night.
DeleteYes!!!!! Let's have white pride night!
Delete8:00 I completely agree. He is a bad mayor not because he is gay, but because he makes terrible decisions, has a bad temper, is mean and is vindictive. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with it.
ReplyDelete8:07, REALLY, is that all you've got? Is that what all of you young people have been trained to say. Call me a homophobe all you want, I really don't care.
ReplyDeletethere is a difference between Ireton acting the way he does because he is gay and gay rights. I think he acts the way he does because he has personality and control issues. I agree that in some cases "gay rights" trample on others' rights.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Joe on this one. Jim sent this out to his mass mailer from the city. He is abusing his office. Quit shoving it down our throats Jim.
ReplyDeleteIf the rainbow beanie fits, then wear it Joe.
ReplyDeleteMany so-called "gays" are miserable living in their sin and want special privileges, not equal rights.
ReplyDeleteWho's the phobe here. Just because Joe put up the flyer the gay supporters are upset. Oh my god, now thousands of people will find out our little secret. Own it and call it what it is. I also don't like to see the hate the gay people and supporters have against the people who don't support their lifestyle. Look in the mirror for once.
ReplyDeleteI've been to the brick room a few times. Not going back. Ireton is ruining downtown with his cast of followers.
ReplyDeleteJoe i say us Straight people go down there to the brick and overwhelm the gays with straight hormones.
DeleteWelcome to Westboro Baptist Salisbury!
ReplyDeleteIreton and his group as well as the other "young turks" have let their egos overwhelm their common sense. They think they control downtown, opening one bar after another. In a sense they do until some smarter minds get involved and we get more solid businesses downtown. Do they really think ALL of these bar/restaurants can survive?
ReplyDeletewhat you are is who you are. ..
ReplyDelete8:34, Smarter minds refuse to invest Downtown because of Ireton. I can tell you first hand, back when Ireton and I were friends he boasted about creating a homosexual environment to Downtown. He would talk about other gay towns and how their economy was so much better.
ReplyDeleteNow, I will agree with what he suggested about building the local economy through the gay community, it's true. I just feel that this is not the City of which desires such a Downtown.
The big question is, is that what all of YOU want?
Every night in America is white pride night and heterosexual pride night. God forbid people who don't fall into these two categories but are inundated with both from birth want something that they can call their own..in this case one night a week at a local bar.
ReplyDeleteThe reason it doesn't specify "Gay"? Because only the eight of us would show up.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Joe on this one. Not much left here to be proud of, as businesses have made a steady exodus and crime has come to record levels.
And, yes, if this was sent out from the Office of the Mayor, it is an abuse of office. Where is the ad for my business from there?
And, rainbow crosswalks is shoving it down peoples' throats. Joe is not forcing his beliefs down yours, just objecting to your actions of forcing your beliefs down ours.
That is NOT homophobia.
Homosexuals should not be allowed to adopt kids either. Nothing but pure filth. The kids are the ones that suffer growing up thinking that 2 Dads or 2 Moms are a normal way of life. A man wearing a dress wanting to be called a lady or a woman wearing mens clothes with a buzz cut wanting to be a man something wrong with situation.How do you think the kid feels when they see a normal couple
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is your problem?! It's 2015, not 1950. Wise up Joe, and stop promoting HATE. You dont have to like everyone, you dont have to like everyone's ideas.... but that doesnt mean you have to get ugly.
ReplyDeleteKey West enjoys a bubbling community NOT BECAUSE it is a gay community...but because it is WARM. I welcome the gay community to bring on their best art...their best ideas.... their best money to contribute to downtown...but to turn downtown in to a designated GAY community center is a big mistake. Do people know that Key West has a huge gay community? YES! Does it keep people away...NO! But do people go there to celebrate that community...NO! They go for the warmth and all the artistic vibe...but mostly because it is warm. Do families go during Gay Pride activities in Key West...NO... they stay away in droves because they have nothing in common. People.....Salisbury is not a vacation destination that can be marketed with gay pride. We will lose our shirts. Family friendly Berlin has the correct business model. This is a business issue and we need new business to attract ALL PEOPLE. Smarten up folks.
ReplyDeleteI've never met you, Joe, so I have nothing factual regarding you to say. I can say, however, that you come off as homophobic in your posts. My advice is, if you are homophobic, own up to it. If not, say so.
ReplyDeleteWith regard to the mayor it is pretty clear that you don't like him. I'm surmising that you wouldn't like him if he was a heterosexual either.
People like u who are the straight haters go on with your corupt lifestyle god will sort u out.
Delete8:54 It is normal in many communities in the US. Seems that you live in a bubble from 1950 and cannot accept the reality of the 21st century. Hopefully your hatred will die with you and not be passed on to any children that you have.
ReplyDeleteThis is 807. Yep, those two words are all that I needed. I am middle aged by the way. Not gay. Jim ireton is definitely not a productive mayor. Salisbury deserves better and needs better. His sexual orientation has nothing to do with his lack of leadership.
ReplyDelete9:48, Are you suggesting being gay is a NEW thing since the 1950's?
ReplyDeleteLook, there are some of us who just do not accept this lifestyle.
NO ONE is suggesting gays are bad people, not one bit. There are simply many who do not believe in it.
Shoving YOUR beliefs down our throats and throwing out HATRED by calling UD homophobes PROVES you are the ones full of hate.
Is Jim Ireton a fun guy, absolutely. Should he be using his office to promote Gay Pride events, absolutely not. But I guess I hate Jim because I DISAGREE with him, right???
It's the gay supporters who spread the most hate. Will I ever accept any Mayor who promotes such activities while in office, NO, period.
I/We will await your apologies.
Keep all the gay crap in rehobeth we don't need it here.If I went into a bar or restaurant that was obviously a gay establishment I would leave and NEVER go back.
ReplyDeleteAre you suggesting that there is something wrong with being gay?
ReplyDelete10:29, Are you suggesting there's something RIGHT about it? WOW, I never knew I was doing it all wrong.
ReplyDeleteRight on, 11:34! Fresh meat!
ReplyDeleteThere is a movement to get a "Rainbow" on license plates for the Gay & Lesbian groups.
ReplyDeleteLol go ahead dont think i would advise that kinda like. I wouldn't want nazi plates ?
Deletelove how teh gheys throw out the word homophobe when they see others disagree with their lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteit sure is telling.
makes me think they are the ones who are really the homophobes.
this is beyond wrong; it's disgusting. to think our city of Salisbury will be Gay Salisbury is going to be the laughing stock of all.
ReplyDeletethe gay population is less than 5%; so why on earth would this be good? our city leaders are perverts at best...so sad.

Liberal have done everything to ruin this country and take God out of the home.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is why your children would never be comfortable telling you if they are gay......and this is where young suicide comes from in the gay community! I pray for your children to have the strength to survive the closed mind! And, me, nope....not gay!

I am sorry for your friend. I am glad you let us know a homosexual man is running a gay bar in downtown Salisbury. And to think that I was going to start going to local bars and the excitement of having a new bar in downtown Salisbury. I am just grossed out by the thought.
Fear? Many of us fear nothing about gay men. We just don't want them looking us up and down and undressing us with their eyes. We don't want our children around them. You are a pathetic POS. Go back to Rehoboth Beach you loser.
After reading some of these comments it's pretty obvious that someone was right on this blog when they predicted that Jim Ireton and Jake Day were trying to make downtown Salisbury and Gay destination. This is SICK!!

You are correct Joe. This is exactly what the Democrat controlled school systems are indoctrinating our youth. These Obama Lovers are trying to teach our young people that gay is ok. Well guess what it is not ok, it is very immoral and just because there are soft hearts out their doesn't mean we accept the practice of gay sex. It is not normal and they gay men have a serious mental illness.
Well now we see it happening and some people are to stupid to realize it.
ReplyDeleteA gay mayor, gay friends, gay Third Friday, gay First Saturday, gay Arts and Entertainment District and now a gay bar in Salisbury. This was all a plan by your gay mayor and friends. Salisbury is the new Gay Destination of the Eastern Shore. Watch out Rehoboth Beach, Jim Ireton is giving you a run for your money. "Arrest me again will you." "I will show you by opening up my gay friendly down Salisbury." Toodaloo

You obviously don't know about the groups of people who are against your sick lifestyles and treating us like crap because we don't agree with you.
"Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye!" Salisbury's new downtown restaurant and bar is the latest gay addition brought to you by Salisbury's Own Jim Ireton and Jake Day.

I am not supporting Jimbeau and his gay rights, but his gay rights lifestyle is trampling the rights of others. He loves men and hates women. He proved that by hiring a worthless, noncredentialed white man over a highly credential and experienced black woman with high credentials. Several years in the acting capacity and many years as the assistant city administrator. And did you notice I said a black woman? Yes this woman had a PhD in the background for the position she applied for and was fired for because he didn't want her to apply and he didn't want her to have the job. Three reasons why:
1) She was black. Yes Ireton is racist.
2) She was a woman. (Yes he hates women and prefers men) Remember the bathroom incident.
3) Tom Stevenson was cuter. Wink, Wink! Arm Candy for the Mare.
Yes he has a severe mental illness brought on by his gay lifestyle. That is why he makes irrational decisions like he does. He is like Obama and thinks he is against the law.
Please, Please, Please can we get a good Republican to run for mayor in the rapidly upcoming city election.
This is terrible

If done with the 2010 Census this Gay Index would be off the charts. Thanks Jimbeau Ireton for bringing immoral gay sex to the City of Salisbury which was once a great place to raise a family.
ReplyDeleteSALISBURY, MD GAY INDEX
Gay index: 121
Gay male index: 135
Lesbian index: 107
National norm: 100
About the Gay index
The gay index is a comparative score, based on the percentage of people reporting in the 2000 U.S. Census that they lived in a same-sex partnership.
A score of 100 is the national norm. A number above 100 indicates that the local proportion of same-sex unmarried households is higher than the national average. For example, 140 would mean that the proportion was 40 percent higher than the national norm. A score of 60 would be 40 percent lower.
ePodunk publishes three measures: a combined gay male/lesbian score called the gay index, a score for gay males and a score for lesbians. The indexes are provided for the 1,360 U.S. communities in which 50 or more couples reported living in such relationships.
Statistics were analyzed by Gary Gates, a demographer at the Urban Institute and co-author of The Gay and Lesbian Atlas.

ReplyDeleteSeventh printing of the DSM-II, 1974[edit]
As described by Ronald Bayer, a psychiatrist and gay rights activist, specific protests by gay rights activists against the APA began in 1970, when the organization held its convention in San Francisco. The activists disrupted the conference by interrupting speakers and shouting down and ridiculing psychiatrists who viewed homosexuality as a mental disorder. In 1971, gay rights activist Frank Kameny worked with the Gay Liberation Front collective to demonstrate against the APA’s convention. At the 1971 conference, Kameny grabbed the microphone and yelled, “Psychiatry is the enemy incarnate. Psychiatry has waged a relentless war of extermination against us. You may take this as a declaration of war against you.”[27]
This activism occurred in the context of a broader anti-psychiatry movement that had come to the fore in the 1960s and was challenging the legitimacy of psychiatric diagnosis. Anti-psychiatry activists protested at the same APA conventions, with some shared slogans and intellectual foundations.[28][29]
Presented with data from researchers such as Alfred Kinsey and Evelyn Hooker, the seventh printing of the DSM-II, in 1974, no longer listed homosexuality as a category of disorder. After a vote by the APA trustees in 1973, and confirmed by the wider APA membership in 1974, the diagnosis was replaced with the category of “sexual orientation disturbance”.

ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is your problem?! It's 2015, not 1950. Wise up Joe, and stop promoting HATE. You dont have to like everyone, you dont have to like everyone's ideas.... but that doesnt mean you have to get ugly.

When did Joe get ugly? You are the one that is getting hysterical. Go smoke a white owl and leave us alone. We don't want your lifestyle and we won't accept it.

ReplyDelete8:54 It is normal in many communities in the US. Seems that you live in a bubble from 1950 and cannot accept the reality of the 21st century. Hopefully your hatred will die with you and not be passed on to any children that you have.

Funny you say that because you homosexuals will die and you won't have any children to pass things on. I am LMAO because you people will eventually eradicate yourselves.
If that is how it works, then how are there any gay people at all?

ReplyDeleteI posted 9:48 and am heterosexual, married and republican but unlike you and so many of the posters on this site, I am educated, well travelled and tolerant of the choices that others make whether it is their sexual preference, religion or political affiliation. BTW, there are plenty of gay/lesbian couples that have children from in-vitro fertilization and surrogates.
Gays = Hell.

ReplyDeleteIs this mayor for real. People of Salisbury must be stupid, voted this jerk for two terms. Bet he wins a third.
ReplyDelete1:56 that is funny, because it is not the gays who are after children. 2:10 I am with you on the pedophile part. That will wipe out 70-80% of organized religion. Two birds, one stone.

Huh?
I have relatives that live in another part of the state that are saying that Salisbury is the next Rehoboth Beach on the Eastern Shore. Word gets around that Salisbury is Homo friendly. It's on gay sites everywhere thanks to Jim Ireton and Jake Day.
ReplyDeleteIf you think Mr. Day is straight just because he plays Weekend Warrior GI Joe and Married to a wannabe Barbie Doll you are nuts.
LOL, He said "nuts."
4:21 pm I care that he is gay. Gay people have a mental illness and make irrational decisions. Get real people an quit being brainwashed.

ReplyDeleteThis article and most of the comments are so offensive. SO WHAT if he wants to have a gay pride night. How many people have committed suicide, been murdered(MATTHEW SHEAPARD) etc. because society will not allow them to be who they are. I agree the mayor may not of been the best choice for mayor, but he was elected Salisbury choose him!! So if he wants to use his platform to bring awareness, and have an event where our LGBT citizens can hang out in a safe and open (emotionally, physically ) atmosphere (meanwhile having an event that brings people out to patronize downtown) SOOOOOOO WHAAAAT!!! I’m sure there are plenty of other things you can write about regarding Ireton other then this event that is more relevant.
4:21: is particularly offensive being gay is not a mental illness please go read some books
