re: #29 majii

It seems that, to these people, one’s sexual orientation is more important than the fact that they are human beings and U.S. citizens and deserve the same rights under the Constitution as every other American. What’s next on their agenda, burning LGBTQ Americans at the stake? I’d like to give every one of these bigots a hard, swift kick in the center of their ass cracks with a pair of keen-toed high heels.

I’m still trying to figure out this comment:

I’m not saying sexual deviants should be legislated to convert to Christianity. I’m saying their deviant lifestyle choices shouldn’t earn them any extra rights. If I decide to drive a nail throuh my hand every saturday, should I get extra priviledged status in legislation? No, because it is a STUPID thing to do. If I decided to dress like a baby as a lifestyle should I get a disablity check? NO, because it is a stupid lifestyle choice!! people who chose sexually deviant lifestyles do not deserve ANY extra legislative consideration EVER!!

1.) Well, gosh, it’s mighty generous of you not to demand that LGBT people be be legislated to convert to Christianity.

2.) “Extra” rights and “privileged” status? What, precisely, would those be? I thought they were asking for the same rights/status everyone else has.

3.) A disability check? *blinks* I guess I must’ve missed something in the news, because I don’t recall anyone asking for any such thing.

4.) A lifestyle “choice”? Yeah, I’m sure LGBT people consider their options and then say to themselves, “Oh, look! This one looks good—I can be misunderstood, reviled, and denied equal treatment under the law—what’s not to love? I’ll take it!”

5.) “Extra” legislative consideration? See #2.
