People Fascinated by Penny Lawrence and Garry Ryan

One of the most popular search terms that brings people to this blog is "Penny Lawrence and Garry Ryan" or some variation thereof, and an entry I wrote about the couple is one of the most-viewed entries here, and by far the one that draws the most comments... so many that many of the people commenting don't bother to read the other comments and essentially repeat a previous comment as though they are writing something I haven't seen before. I think one reason is that Penny is so attractive. This is a woman who could have her pick of men; she wanted Garry. This still draws interest. A website called theproudparents.com recently featured the couple's story.

As I have always said, they should be free to be together, and free to marry if that is what they want. There is no good reason to force them apart.

Of course, there are people with biases and prejudices who spout bigoted opinions about them. So it shouldn't be surprising that some of the comments after this latest coverage, which added nothing new, included such hate...



Jeannine...

you disgusting pieces of crud may you both crash and burn before you destroy the lives on innocent children

Notice Jeannine didn't attempt to explain what is wrong with people loving each other.

Ariel...

The disorder is legit, its the bond we have from being related and since your brain cant process properly you feel attraction.

I wouldn't call a normal reaction to the circumstances a disorder.

I understand it. BUT you dont act on these feelings.

Why not? No explanation is given.

And you especially do NOT bring a child into THAT relationship, thats just horrible.

Why not? The problem seems to be how other people react, which is what people said about interracial couples having children. How about the bigots shut up, and that way, the kids will be fine?

Both of them are facing jailtime, and they should be.

People should go to jail for loving each other?

There were some supportive comments, too. Much ignorance and hate were spouted, but not one good reason was given as to why they shouldn't be congratulated rather than attached. It is sad to see people hating other people who've found happiness together. Some people find love with someone older or younger. Some people experience Genetic Sexual Attraction. Why should anyone else be able to stop consenting adults from being together?"item"'>One of the most popular search terms that brings people to this blog is "Penny Lawrence and Garry Ryan" or some variation thereof, and an entry I wrote about the couple is one of the most-viewed entries here, and by far the one that draws the most comments... so many that many of the people commenting don't bother to read the other comments and essentially repeat a previous comment as though they are writing something I haven't seen before.
