GOP has no monopoly at being bothered by people -any people- groping each other in public and going off on you about the details of their sex life. get a room please. its not about skin tone its not about sexual orientation its about behavior. why is that so hard to grasp?
In name only. The basic principles of trying to force Christian values on everyone is still alive and well.
Then why are gay people still attacked for being gay? And it's not as if that's few and far between. It happens a lot.
They most certainly do. They just want to be left alone as equals with everyone else.
Why should someone have to move from their home because of who they love? That's ridiculous.
And again, proving the point that gay people certainly aren't being "left alone".
So the courts are finally reversing the vast array of discrimination against gay people?
I love how you act like that's a bad thing.
The government has no place in marriage, the bedroom, private lives, whatever. It's sad that gay people have to struggle so much for legislation to simply put them on equal footing with everyone else. And we still aren't there.
Welcome to the 21st century, indeed.
So because they are being served rotting, stinking meat instead of pure ****, they should smile and be happy?
All of your posts have a poor-me-everybody-hates-me-whiner-butt tone to them. This one is no different. If you cannot see the tremendous strides gays have made in the past 30 years toward acceptance of their way of life, your head must be buried somewhere. I said this before but since you didn't get it then, I'll repeat it for you. In some states gays can legally marry. Many corporations give full benefits to spouses of gays. Outside of military service, gays no longer have to hide their sexual orientation. (Repeal of DADT is likely.) In some jurisdictions, sexual orientation is a protected class. A straight woman or an elderly person is far more likely to be attacked (because they are unable to easily defend themselves) than a gay person is for being gay. A white guy in the wrong black neighborhood at the wrong time is also more likely to be attacked for being white than a gay is for being gay. There is no large scale, even remotely successful group or movement that wants to impose their "Christian values" on the rest of society. Fundamentalist Christians are only a small percentage of Christianity as a whole but atheists and their brethren see them as an important threat. (They aren't. They have no power.)
So I say it again and this is my lost post. Stop whining and grow up.
Scratching, and sniffing should be private. Gay, straight, or somewhere in between. No one wants to hear what you/ I/ who/what did last night in graphic detail.
I'm one of the 35%
If your gay or heterosexual its YOUR business and NON OF MINE.
I'm also pro choice.
(I'm a republican conservative)
I with you here on both counts. The only sexual orientation I have any problem with is pedophilia.
No one wants to talk about the 39% of Democrats who say it is morally wrong. So Democrats have nothing to crow about. It's a pot-meet-kettle situation.

I can certainly see it. But that doesn't mean they need to stop trying simply because it's not as bad as it was.
Should black people have just been happy with the Jim Crow laws since it wasn't outright slavery?

In some states? Oh, thanks massa. So because some states have given up discrimination like that, that's enough and they should just be happy? How about all states?

Again, so what? Many is not all, meaning there is still systematic discrimination.

They don't? Then why are so many afraid to come out of the closet?

For money or possessions. Not simply because they are old. Gay people are attacked for being who they are.

How about a gay guy in a redneck neighborhood? How about a Puerto Rican in a Haitian neighborhood?
A guy waving a gun is more likely to be attacked by cops than a guy who isn't.

You do understand the concept of the "Religious Right", correct? Focus On The Family? Sarah Palin?
Pretty successful people / organizations that diametrically oppose gay rights.

I do find it highly amusing that you take my pointing out grievous errors in your position as whining and tell me I need to "grow up" because gays are still treated as second-class citizens.

You might want to step back and think about what YOU just said for awhile.
I'll help you out a bit. If a guy is walking down the street with his gun neatly tucked away and isn't threatening anyone, the cops will likely leave him be. Yes cops are very aware of who is and isn't carrying because all concealed weapons show in some way or anther. The average cop can spot a concealed weapon quite easily. When the guy starts waving it in peoples faces, even the most tolerant will react.

I had wondered about this as it always seemed to me that a concealed weapon would show to the trained eye. Cops have a good eye for things like that.
