Discussion: Gay Rights XVI - Part 5

[Sawyer]

What guy are you talking about? Is it a hypothetical person you are speaking about, or do you actually know of an Imam that has went on a bigoted tirade against gays?

I'm sure if the media got wind of a bigoted Imam going on a bigoted tirade that **** would end up on the news and most likely he'd end up on the FBI Watchlist.

Yeah, this whole thing kind of feels like a deflection to me.

Um....the imam in Orlando who said gays need to be killed is not a hypothetical person...

The fact you haven't heard about it is sort of proving my point right now. I'm sure he's on the FBI watchlist (whatever good that does )

Deflection from what? I think that pastor is getting what he deserves.

Gay Republicans say they're stunned the GOP party platform is so anti-LGBT

This should be a double feature right along with "Caitlyn Jenner is shocked that Ted Cruz is designing obstacles to keep her out of the Ladies' Room".

I've never met a gay Republican, unless you count closeted Republicans. That cognitive dissonance must be powerful.

 

[Sawyer]

I've seen the hashtag #GaysForTrump, and it's just like.... really?

 

[Schlosser85]

I backed out of a possible hookup because the guy worships Trump. Like his profile pic is him wearing a "Trump4Pres 2016" T-shirt and a Make America Great Again hat. And this isn't someone in the closet at all.

I don't get it.

 

[Sawyer]

I'm as thirsty as they come and I would still draw the line at a Trump supporter.

Well, you know, they've been oh so subtle about it.

A couple times in those dark lonely hours in the night, I've almost cracked and given him the green light. Then I click his picture and see the Trump hat.

You should go with him. Peter Thiel would take good care of you.

Aren't they called Moderate Libertarians...

 

[Sawyer]

Aren't Libertarians really just soft-core Republicans?

 

[Lily Adler]

Or are the Republicans soft core Libertarians...

 

[Sawyer]

Or can they both just be thrown into the sun?

 

[Lily Adler]

With all political extremists?

 

[Sawyer]

And the religious zealots!

 

[Lily Adler]

#righteousgenocide!

 

[Pink Ranger]

In all seriousness, there's nothing contradictory about gays believing low taxes are good and the state isn't the go-to solution for every social problem we encounter.

Very interesting statements from the Pope. I'm not really eager to see the Roman Catholic Church 100% embrace the LGBT community, but they need to own up for past wrongs perpetrated by the last two hatemongers who occupied that position.

I recently read about the Magdalene laundries, and I was drawn in but repulsed by it (the last Magdalene laundry shut down 20 years ago). What was so enraging is that these families could just leave their daughters there to essentially perform slave labor, even if they weren't pregnant but either deemed wayward or uncontrollable. And the cruelty meted out by most of the nuns and priests there is just awful. There's numerous documentaries and articles about it.

Even though the Irish government offered up a public apology, the Catholic Church has yet to do so. I think that's what a lot of conservatives fantasize about when they envision putting the LGBT community in their place.

Homophobia is just a mutated form of gender oppression.
