Moralism and homophobia

[Yerrina]

Us homosexuals are always going to be treated differently, the same as with African Americans.

We have a long history of hate, and there is still homophobic people who live their lives only to make gay people's lives hell. Others, who aren't sure what it is, blindly follow what's the 'popular' thing to do.

My rights are not an option, but like you said, some people just blindly agree even though they have no idea about what they're fighting so hard to protect. We aren't women. We are just as strong in every physical way, and even more psychologically.

This world is full of double standards, and always will be. It's human nature.

You're right with the comparison to the African American situation. But it takes time, progress is taking place. Social hypocrites exist but such air-heads have no worthy opinion.

I believe (and a homosexual friend does too) that homosexuality cannot be special. It's as normal as heterosexuality, and the attitude that hatred is coming from every corner will serve the LGBT cause negatively because having equal rights as heterosexuals will not happen without trying to live normally and showing others the quite ordinary reality of homosexual life. My friend writes political criticisms, has her uni-related ups and downs, and is a great cook. Far more interesting qualities than her being a lesbian, don't you think ?

Of course she had her homosexuality related problems with family, and she's cautious around some people, but she's moving forward; her family accepts her, and she has the rest of her life waiting for her. She can't be chained by all the possibilities of things going wrong.

Homophobia will not be overcome by succumbing to it.

I agree.
Homosexuals often get special treatment just because they are "different." Part of equality is none of this double standard BS.

Exactly. I find it an eyesore to see corrupted minds condemning a certain type of people based on either their misinterpreted religious upbringing or simply their oldfashioned, "hate what is foreign to you" type of nuts.

You teacher cannot educate you in that matter, that's why she didn't give any arguments or reasons...
I don't know exactly why she send him to the principal...
At least in my country, teachers listen to what each of the students thinks and asks them question about why the think that, show some situation and ask for the student's opinions.
But she can't tell them what to think... that doesn't seem right to me...

There will never be equal rights because we are not all equal...it is as simple as that....and yes they are directly linked to each other. Today it is the homosexuals to be discriminated against, maybe in a couple years from now they will be accepted by most but for change to take place, there must be those who will try to resist it because they were happy with the way things were....and that too is their right or belief if you want to call it....

Hmm??? Was is this I see? I thought we had moved on from these types of threads

OT: Equal rights should be distributed to all including those that practice incest (not supporting it but just trying to add to the equal rights of this thread)

Are you serious?

If you are then you're ****ing stupid.

Please clarify how I'm stupid
And please don't give me the obvious family card

"and she forced homophobia into that situation, as it is what most blind moralists do."


I cant even begin to understand how you could even write that

 

[Prime Rib]

Look its like this, the world is full of double standard society in the world.

Example: black people can get away with calling white people crackers which is racist slur fyi if you did not know, and nothing happens, but on the other hand if a white person calls a black person a Nigga they are automatically racist and problems happen.

And for Homosexuals and People who support them are hyprocrites and cause double standards.

Example: a homosexual can hit on a straight guy and he calls him a *** but yet its sexual harrassment and people over look that and look at the guy who called the homosexual a *** as the one in the complete wrong.

Another example is people who support gay rights/marriage, and if others who arent on the bandwagon have beliefs and opinions on gay marriage and homosexuality as wrong, get treated just as bad as people who bash gays and its accepted for them to do that to those people who dont accept gay marriage then it is for a person who who treats gays different.

and i do not mean to offend people, its just one of the ways of double standards and hyprocrites on equal rights and peoples beliefs

 

[Zachfri]

The term cracker isn't what you think it is. Cracker means a white slave master who used to crack his whip on black people. Its not a saltine cracker that looks like white skin.

Oh really? So please tell me how the boy's text was homophobic. Please tell me how criticizing privileges given to the homossexuals is homophobia. In case you don't remember, I explained the meaning of homophobia in my text, and what the boy wrote has nothing to do with it.

Exactly. What you called double standards is what I call privileges. My intention was to explain why such privileges are a mistake.
Blind moralists claim to be fighting for equal rights, yet, they try to make the homossexuals and black people untouchables, giving them more rights than the rest of the population has, and not only that, but they try to decrease our freedom of speech. How is this equality?

What they try to do is some form of revenge or compensation for the past, because the homossexuals and black people are what they called "opressed minorities", so they should have privileges. This is what blind moralists says, this is how they want to achieve "equality" and decrease hate. As I explained, this will only increase the hatred. A group with privileges, therefore being put above in the law, cause anger in the other groups. Privileges make it seem as if homossexuals and black people were better than the rest of the population. This will eventually cause more fights, hatred, and more segregation and discrimination.
This is why I say that people should have equal rights. Because, despite the differences, one group is not better than the other.

Look some not all know thats where it originated from but it is still a racist slur to whites regardless of what the meaning

 

[Nous]

Most groups, that have been historically oppressed garner many privileges in modern day. It be women, blacks, homosexuals et cetera [interestingly, not Natives..] as it is admirable to be prideful while being oppressed, but while other groups such as being white, man, straight et cetera is wrongfully considered privilege and you lack oppression and what not. Due to this, it is considered ego-istic I guess, to have pride.

I believe in equality and equity for all. Blind optimism, yes but it is worth striving for.
