conulyThis is a gross double-standard. There are many stories about Christians in the military being forced to repress practice of their beliefs, particularly while serving in Muslim countries. Why are gays allowed to be open and public about their lifestyle, but not Christians? One is no more harmed by this than the other.
This is interesting. No, really, it's actually interesting, because what *I* have heard is that there's a lot of proselytizing going on and people being pressured into doing Christian things, not the other way around. In the interest of fairness, is there any truth to this assertion at all? And if so, is it widespread?
How fascinating that the same liberals who claim Fundamentalist's try to force their "religion" on everyone else, are themselves trying to force their "religion" on others. Sad. Hypocrital, and eventually destined for failure. In the ongoing give and take of cultural history, the one that this time-period of Recession and pain, will bestow on future generations will be the rise of a truly strong libertarian populace.
1. Correct comma usage isn't a religious issue.
2. More crucially, I love this. Love it! I absolutely love how libertarianism, aka "the advocacy of the maximization of freedom of thought and action", somehow doesn't apply to a. gay people or b. soldiers. Either or. I guess that freedom doesn't count if you're using it to be gay.
One of the two of us is a hypocrite, and I don't think it's me.
Have you ever heard a hetero talk about his/her heterosexualness? Of course not.
Use the heteros as a guide and just keep your mouth shut on this subject.
I don't know about you, but I hear people talk about how straight they are all the time. They talk about their boyfriend, their girlfriend, their wife or husband and kids. They turn around and comment on the hot guy or girl who just passed, and they talk about the famous people they'd not-so-secretly like to fuck. They kiss in public, and they hold hands in public, and they have the audacity to write their spouse's name down as next-of-kin so they can see them in the hospital.
It's positively disgusting, yup. *eyeroll*
Well, I'm done.

Date: 2010-09-11 03:52 am (UTC)I would imagine that in Muslim countries gay people wouldn't be allowed to be open about their "lifestyle" either.
So now they're comparing homosexuality to a religion? Geeze Louise. I don't know who this person has met, but the gay people I've met haven't tried to "force" anything on anyone.
Let's see: picture of you (the person making the comment) and your opposite-sex partner on your desk at work? Mention of opposite-sex partner in conversation? Holding hand with opposite-sex partner in public?
When people drive from the church after their weddings in decorated cars, with huge "JUST MARRIED" signs on the cars, honking their horns in a big "Look at us, we just got married!" display, I would call that as a heterosexual pride parade.

It's no wonder they can't keep their hands to themselves. Really, it's terribly tragic -- especially now that there are treatments! Nobody should have to suffer being straight any more."
