What a shame that you're unable to get along with people who don't think exactly as you do.

I'm a liberal and I have conservative friends.

Do you have any liberal friends?

Lots of them. I have tolerance for different points of view but I have found it to be easier to not discuss politics as my liberal friends tend to get overheated and irrational in political discussions.

I love fairies... tinkerbell is my favorite, and she liked boys... especially lost boys.

For example:

If you don't support Isreal, then you are "anti-semitic"

If you don't support illegal immigration, then you are "racist"

If you don't support abortion, then you are "sexist"

If you believe in moral absolutes, then you are "intolerant"

If you mistrust radical Islam, then you are "Islamophobic"

You left out a few:

If you don't support blacks sitting at the front of the bus you're a bigot.

If you don't support equal accommodations you're a bigot.

If you don't support blacks & whites having the right to get married you're a bigot.

If you don't support the right of women to have equal pay for equal work or the right to vote you're misogynistic.

Yeah, sounds about right to me.

No [mod cut] you don't get the right to debate with civility my right to exist and live my life as I choose. You don't get to arbitrarily deny me my right to happiness without suffering consequences. This isn't an issue, it's my life which you and your fellow hate mongers are "debating". My life isn't subject to your approval. Like all oppressed people we will fight you and ultimately will defeat you [mod cut].

Exactly. Justice will prevail in time, despite protests against it. Soon enough, our debates will be centered around things that actually should be up for debate, as opposed to this.

This post really resonates with me. A lot of my anger has been reawakened, and it's cathartic to realize that I'm not alone. I know we'll be okay in the end. As the years pass, fewer and fewer young people are going to have to suffer for their identities and deal with self-loathing.

Nobody said you cant or shouldn't be gay.
But you have no right to expect reality to just cease to exist because you are gay. Be happy with yourself as you are. You arent opressed, you are obsessed. There is a difference.
Theres nothing to defeat except your own denial.

I can't say that they are all going to hell either because, again, I'm not God. It's the act, not the individual person and God is forgiving (at least my God is).

Great post (except I would say they have no more need for forgiveness than heterosexuals...I think we ALL need forgiveness for hatred on both sides.)
