Anti-Gay Law backfires eliinating prosecution for domestic violence

Clearly others can condemn homosexuals to hell and claim that AIDS is the wrath of god brought by homosexual. I use the term "filthy homosexual" to mock them and it gets deleted. Nice moderation.

Anyway, congrats on your new laws. Enjoy the problems you created for yourselves in persecuting homosexuals.

Oh, and the amendment is back. Lovely.

You have to put a or a after anything remotely satirical, Neehai! It's in the TOS as well as the Log Cabin Republican Charter.

I may need to add a disclaimer to my signature that I don't hate my own people. I sometimes forget not everyone knows. After all, I am a high-profile homosexual. Who hasn't gotten the memo?

OMG YUO SI TEH FAGORT!!!!1111 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOOO!!!111111one

Sheesh...another black eye for my state of origin.

Oh, and Neehai, thou shalt scrub your own back with warm, soapy water (with a mild, lightly scented and hypo-allergenic cleansing agent) before handing me a wash rag.

^^^SATIRE^^^

I'm so disgusted, I have no words.

Neehai, most anyone backing these amendments would likely say that these abused women are "living in sin", and no doubt deserve what they get.

I was just going to post something to that effect, although in a smarmier tone.

Sigh...

Ohio, land of "we don't need no helmet laws! Or fireworks regulation! Or fags! Or seatbelt laws! okay, maybe seatbelt laws..."

LF

Trust me, Florida is worse. You get pulled over and ticketed for not wearing a seat belt but motorcyclists don't have to wear a helmet. Where's the logic in that?

The gay marriage issue is actually the first political issue I've really taken interest in. I'm about as straight as you can get but approx half my friends are gay. So I went around and asked people how they voted and why they voted that way. Most of them couldn't give me a logical reason. What I got most was "I just feel that marriage should be a man and a woman". I asked if they were aware of any legal problems with same sex marriages. None of them were. I asked if it was a religious standpoint. Only one said it was. I asked if it would be okay to have gay marriages but call them something different. so that the only change was the word marriage. Most said that would be better.

I didn't do a formal survey, more just casual conversations with people around the city, on mass transit, coffee shops, places I hang out. All told I asked about 20 different people (12 of which said they'd voted to define it man and woman, 2 wouldn't say, and 1 who I think voted against definition but meant to vote for), most middle class ages ranging from 15-67.

I am as dumbfounded as I started out. We have Will and Grace, Metrosexuals, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. How can there be that many people out there still uncomfortable with it? And why is it the marriage word that hangs people up? Have people never heard the phrase "A rose by any other name is still a rose"?

Let's not forget the Florida Family Association who mount all sorts of attacks on Disney for having a special day for Gay people and for being decent enough to cover ones partner with insurance.

When Florida had severe fires a couple of years ago - a certain TV Evangelist along with the Florida Family Association claimed that it was because of Disney and their pandering to homosexuals.

Personally, I believe that it was because FFA people are so brittle they burn easy.

I don't much like Disney, but we had a hell of a time at Gay Days last year.

Yeah we here in Florida seem to have a love hate relationship with "The Mouse".

BTW - I had a blast too, my brother and his partner took me along with this huge group of friends. It was awesome.

I'm going this year, too, with a few other Sigma Nus. Meet you at the Polynesian Resort for blue drinks!

You got it! My brother & his partner live in Atlanta but will probably be down for this in addition to all of his friends which still plan on going.

... things like that confound me.

I live in a country where gay marriage is legal and homosexuals are encouraged to feel comfortable about being themselves.

In fact, in the city I live in we have a whole little, "gay town --" a mini cultural epicentre for the gay community like China town et al. People are comfortable with ads for gay dating services and other such things being posted. We even have a big parade and weeklong celebration of homosexuality every year.

Which I attend every year to support my friends.

So when I see laws trying to pass in other countries that restrict the freedoms of homosexuals, it makes me sad. Like race or gender, homosexuals are still human too.

Are you in Montreal, Icon? I've heard that Montreal has one of the finest "gayborhoods" in N. America, and that it is well integrated with the rest of the city (vs. the sterotypical gay ghetto).

Yeah but then again straight people can have AIDS too...so it's not like it's 'THE' gay disease or anything...

Look at the people in africa...they're struggling with aids...women AND men and even children....

Would god have punnished them too then?

(for being hungry and poor and not having the money to get medication or oeh for being black maybe?)


I think people shouldn't care what sexuality or color you are...if you never do any harm to other and you love people it's OK.

God loves every each one of us.

I'm fine with homosexuals , since they're nice to be with , they like shopping , gossipping and they're funny as hell.
I hand around with bi-sexual girls in SL aswell , and i don't mind the kisses and the hugs.

Being gay or lesbian is fine.
Since both of them do the same stuff like straight couples. (sexually then)

And some how you are the first person who gives me the urge to post hardcore porn pictures of two gay men.

Either way you can't do much about it...besides commit suicide since you don't want to swallow it.
LOL

I brought up the question of no helmet laws in my Psychology class last semester, it makes no sense to me either. However, the teacher said there were several "tests" and "surveys" conducted stating that motorcyclist injury statistics are severly lower in no-helmet states. To this he also added...because they are usually fatalities, not injuries. Go figure.

As for the gay rights issue, I am completed disgusted with my fellow countrymen who think it's their right to tell someone who they can and can't love. How many times do we have to hear the words "freedom" and "liberty" (for those who saw the Daily show yesterday) only to see them not exercised? Not to mention I heard on a particular newscast yesterday that it looks as if Roe v Wade is about to be turned over. Did I move to another country when I wasn't looking?

Not only can I swallow it, I do it better than most. Why would I want to commit suicide and deny the world my presence?

I think you misunderstand my post.

No one likes hardcore gay male porn more than me.

You know something? I've been with the same guy for close on eighteen years now, and when I think of most of the married couples I've known, especially my parents, I can only think of one or two couples who were genuinely happy over the long run, so I don't need it, and if the price is moving back to Massachusetts, well, that price is just too damn high for me. And as for abortion, the day that they perfect the test to determine that foetuses are going to be gay or lesbian when they grow up, that's the day the Democratic Party becomes Pro-Life. I'm just skipping that hypocracy by being pro-life now.

The Democratic Party is pro-life now. People aren't for abortion.

However the current crop of pro-lifers don't want abortion and they do their damndest to eliminate proper contraception to prevent pregnancy.

They are not Pro-Life, they are Anti-Abortion. Big difference. Anyone calling themselves pro-life who supports war, the death penalty, and doesn't support far more medical research and stem-cell research is full of crap. Life does not end at Birth.

Here's a simple ruleset for any sane government to follow:
There is such a thing as a person's private life.
This is not to be interfered with.
A person's public conduct should only be regulated to keep other people from being harmed.
"Embarassment" or "clash of morals" does not constitute harm.
