What Should We Say About Homosexuality?

Just what is it that we are ALLOWED to say about homosexuality? Are there certain ideas that are not allowed, such as any idea that might (dare I say) put it in a negative light?

What do you think you should be allowed to say about homosexuality, or black people, or women...?

There are a lot of problems in the world and homosexuality isn't one of them. I've always thought it a little odd people get so bent out of shape about it.

for fucks sake quit your whining put your adult pants on and deal with the fact your not allowed to promote bigotry. your allowed to say what ever you want. if you promote hate like you are their will be consequences but your allowed to say what ever you want you just have to accept the consequences. you kimmy both. suffer consequences for hate is not persecution.

 

Mod Hat ― Really?

Generally speaking, it seems enough to expect people to be rational and decent human beings. We are aware, however, that in some issues this is too much to ask of some people. On those occasions, they can go cry about it somewhere else.

The thing is, Bowser, that people already know you're smarter than that damn thread; that you're smarter than to post bigoted, long-debunked excrement without a whit of support.

And quite frankly, the fact that you already know this history only makes your demonstration↗ all the more repugnant.

Homosexuals don't need your approval, and you know that. What they need is for you and others to stop denigrating them and trying to deny them human and civil rights. If you disapprove and feel it's unnatural and obscene, that's nobody's business until you make it theirs, and if you can't figure out that putting it on a ballot is making it other people's business, there's nothing anyone else can do to help you figure it out.

But that's the thing: You know this history already. If Christians are so secure in their faith, why do they need anyone else's approval? Why show their piety for the sake of being seen by others? Why pick a fight and put it on the ballot? They can be as faithless as they want as long as they don't make it anyone else's problem.

And the sleight about affecting self-image with words is really, really sleazy, Bowser. You already know damn well there's more at stake than that. Life and livelihood, family, estate. And that's just a few, you know. More than words↗, and you know it.

And by the way, 1992 called, and they want their Republican doctrine back. I mean, really.

And a "normal" relationship? That's a pretty subjective word; in my youth, marriages between men and women were frequently falling apart, with Christian conservatives wailing about the divorce rate, and complaining about one's wife was a God-given right of every married man.

No, really, are you just working it all out? One last run, for romantic sake, through the bullchips?

If you can't figure out that such denigrating, wilful ignorance is unacceptable discourse, don't make it anyone else's problem.

And this Nazi thing? Look, I know it's trendy and all among hardline conservatives to bawl about Nazis every time they don't get their way, but it really is hard to see why you would want to throw in with that sector.

At this point, you're just embarrassing yourself.

C'mon, dude. You're smarter than this, and we all know it.
