Why are conservatives always such assholes when it comes to homosexuals?
It's really the government they tend to hate. You, of course, love it since it keeps you in clothing.
My guess is that homosexuals would assimilate quite well if they were not so ******* militant about it.
But, nooooooooooo, they just have to have it their way and in the course of things screw up institutions that have been around longer than the gay rights movement.
Most gays I know think all this is bullshit and wish the headline grabbers would move out of the country.
An oppressed minority becomes militant out of necessity . They have that right and a obligation to them selves to fight back against discrimination and marginalization. Bitching about their militancy makes you sound exactly like the racial bigots who complain about uppity blacks who don't know their place.
LGBT people have come a long way but in some ways still have much to overcome. They are still subject to discrimination in housing, employment and, as we see here adoption. The fact is, that in progressive states like New Jersey where I am, they have assimilated quite well. It is not an issue and no one notices or cares that they live among us as productive and responsible citizens and family people . There is no militancy here because there is no need for it, unlike in Kansas and other places. . Ask your self how passive you would be if you were denied the right of full participation in society, and equal protection under the law based on some arbitrary characteristic or membership in a certain group.
Out of necessity ?
What necessity ?
Many groups have assimilated with no militancy.
Now, thanks for the lecture.
Only I lived in California for six years...where things are so progressive. And cities like Concord and Walnut Creek were forced to allow Gay Pride parandes where gay men would wear leather outfits that were simply gross. And women would wear outfits that challenged people to tell them they were sick. So, they didn't assimilate naturally...but they pushed themselves on people in a way that nobody else has.
And somehow you think you can tell others that it's O.K. for them to be militant...but you (being the tolerant ************ that you are) can call others bigotted for being militant back.
Kiss my ass.
Geezzzzz dude. It sounds like you're another one here who needs some anger management help. Your the one going all militant now and I seriously doubt if you really have anything to gripe about.
You ask what the necessity for being militant is?? That alone tells me a lot about you. You think that gays folks should just shut up an be thankful for what they achieved, and shut up about the small stuff like employment discrimination, public accomodations and adoption, don't you?
Why don't you settle down and explain what's really troubling you. I doubt that its just about parades. California has not always been so gay friendly. When were you there to witness these horrific spectacles? In any case, I doubt if that is what this is really all about. I stand by my assessment of your attitude. I want to silence gays for speaking out and demanding their rights, and when they do you bleat about militancy ..JUST LIKE others did - and still do , when complaining about "uppity Negroes "
