as someone who attended high school and college in south dakota, i'm inclined to wonder if this isn't more why south dakota is scary, rather than why craigslist is scary. =)
bfp - oh yeah. I noticed. And now I'm looking suspiciously at everyone.
It's not that I don't already know that there are people like this out there. I just like to pretend that they all live far, far away.
meejies - yes, you're right. I do find it somewhat disturbing, though, that craigslist allows this sort of thing to be advertised. I suppose had they advertised a new chapter of Aryan Nation or the Klan, that would be pushing it, but a Caucasian-American group is, I guess, innocent-sounding enough to get past the radar.
Anna - I didn't. So, what, do they have like their own white power tracts that somehow make being queer acceptable in the eyes of Hitler and white supremacy?! (Though if an Italian-American can lead a white power group, as that guy Ricci (?) did in the '80s, then anything is possible...Italians, of course, not being considered "white" when they first got to America.)
I have no idea what their reasoning is, but I have seen their car before and it is covered with outrageously awful white supremacist stickers, and rainbow junk. So weird. You will probably see it eventually; Sioux Falls is not that big.
I've been boggled enough by garden-variety white racist and even (gargh) Republican lesbians (as in, yay, Bush, and no, I don't think any of their last names were "Cheney").
the only white supremacists who were also okay with homosexuality (in theory) I'd ever heard of was this weird-ass tiny group of creepy Satanists.
but, I suppose with 6-7 billion people in the world, no matter how outrageous a combination you can think of, -someone- probably actually embodies it.
