It’s the fear of losing everything that gives these people pause. I hope I’d do better in that situation, but I don’t know what it’s like to face losing everything you worked for in your life as well as your freedom.
The people to blame are the monsters who created these laws.
Being gay doesn’t mean someone is somehow less masculine, which is the heart of what the “homo water” idiot is implying.
Was the British Empire, upon which the sun never set, somehow not masculine enough? One could argue it ran on tea. Morally questionable, absolutely, but not manly enough?
Were the samurai somehow compromised in their masculinity because they drank tea, sometimes in elaborate ceremonies?
And, apart from tea, were the Sacred Band, the elite warriors who died to a man fighting Alexander the Great’s dad, somehow less manly because they were all gay?
I bet this colleague of yours also thinks straws are gay in this parlance, as if it’s somehow more manly to put one’s lips on the same glass rims touched by hundreds of others. I guess hygiene is not masculine or heterosexual.
And the thing is, even my rant here is problematic because it spawns from a lifetime of people equating gay with not being enough of a man, an attitude that infects my own thinking.
Shit, the most feminine of men is more of a man than these idiots if he stands up for his identity unapologetically.
I tried reading two different series from Stephen R. Donaldson, and it seemed to me he was somehow unable to write a book without a horrific rape. I just stopped reading the first book in each case because I felt like they were salacious and hateful.
Christian here. Can confirm that he checks a lot of the boxes for me. It’s terrifying to me how completely the alleged Church has accepted him.
Congratulations, you played yourself.
But claims that we the best music…I am now disillusioned.
Do you use lube or just coat it in sand for extra brutality?
No spez?
Naw, that’s an Allen wrench. They’re useful and contribute to our society, unlike Brock Allen Turner, the rapist.
Alternately, if only one pilot is required, then every passenger should have an ejection seat or capsule of some kind–some way to get safely to the ground in a catastrophic emergency.
If there’s a reason why he’s “not a pedophile” as they claim, let’s hear their reasoning. Miscarriages of justice do occur, but there’s no outcry that this dude got a raw deal. In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, I’ll trust the verdict of the court, indicating that Steve van de Velde is a pedophile.
Yeah, definitely like the rapist Brock Allen Turner.
Yeah, but Trump doesn’t have the lobes for it, either.
You’re right. I’m an idiot.
We’re talking about the way a TV show starts called CSI: MIAMI.
Basically, there’s always a clever remark from the lead, followed by the opening credits accompanied by part of a song by The Who.
Queue loud song by The Who…
Adam Something is a favorite of mine.
Aren’t those guys kinda anti-federalist, except where it benefits them?
That would be phenomenal, but I imagine it’s unlikely.
However, if we’re in the realm of unlikely scenarios, maybe they can give me a follow-up to Xcom: Enemy Within that proceeds from an Xcom victory in the first game. I never got into Xcom 2 because it ignored the buildup to the greater enemy foreshadowed at the end of Enemy Within. Not knocking those who liked what we got…it just didn’t work for me.
These same people see school shootings and just think kids dying is the price for their right to bear arms, and they don’t care. I don’t think many of them have the conscience left in their empty Godless souls to care about women dying needlessly if it means their doctrinal nonsense can be imposed on everyone.
