    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Homosexuality

Imagine that suddenly the tables are turned. Atheists are a majority and religious people are treated like freaks. And the nicest atheists pity you because they claim you have a mental disorder. Don't worry, it's not your fault or anything!

And that's not even a perfect analogy; you can choose your religious beliefs, but you can't choose your orientation. So even if this were the case, you'd still be better off than homosexuals.
 
Epic post, but

never before has the word "officially" hurt so much. Hello, DADT.
 
Guys. If one person claims there is a pink dragon that inhabits their bedroom, we call them crazy. But if people claim to see white virgins that are immaculately conceived and the whole plethora of obvious namblewamble that the Bible spews forth, then we call it religion.

"You talk to god, you're religious. God talks to you, you're psychotic."

To be fair I don't see much difference.

RELIGION IS NOT AN IMMUNITY TO ARGUMENTATION

Aw shucks guys.

Also, Danni, yeah, I get where you're coming from. Technically it's not "anti-"gay, more, I dunno, neutral? Though it's encouraging repression, so I dunno. I'm against it obviously, but I'm not sure if it's explicitly anti-gay.

EDIT: My favourite part of that LGBT timeline thing, btw, is that Mary Tudor repealed sodomy laws in the 1500s. Yes, Bloody Mary Tudor, the Catholic Queen of England, repealed sodomy laws.

I think it's explicitly anti-gay since it specifically targets gay people in a negative manner. It's like if there was a law saying you could buy a house but if anyone found out you're gay you'd get kicked out.
 
... legally. not so much socially, which is what I'm concerned about >:(

but yeah. Yay for (admittedly slow) progress!

I love it XD

I'm also fond of the fact that lesbianism was never outlawed in the UK because Queen Vic, bless her, didn't think two women could have sex.
 
That's a matter of opinion. Rome was the basis for the modern world. Latin was the basis of a lot of modern languages (and sounded awesome).

I don't think Rome was the "basis" for the modern world, but I will not deny the historical significance of Latin.
 
Homosexuals often don't have the choice, they are simply born with that mindset. And even if they do have the choice, it isn't a problem. Illegalizing homosexuality? Seriously?
Is it really right to use petty human laws to restrict the way someone thinks? I'm guessing there are at least a few people here who have read George Orwell's "1984". Noticing any similarities? "Thoughtcrime", anyone? Yeah. It would be sad if that was the road we were going down.
 
As someone who is bi, I know people don't just "decide" these things. I hate when people make statements that imply or directly state that we are choosing our orientation, that we can change, or that we are lying "just to be cool." I don't think I choose to like my two best friends, one a girl who I'm in a complicated relationship with and the other being a guy. Actually, my closest friends, but for one who may or may not be, are either bi or gay. o_O I should've seen it coming. xD
I am bi and I am proud!
 
^ even worse than people who say we lie it to be cool is the ones who legitimately do. they make the rest of us look really fuckin' bad (this is why i do not care how catchy I Kissed A Girl by Katy Perry is, i still refuse to ever listen to it) by being pathetic themselves. the sad thing about the stereotype of "bisexual people are total whores who are faking it just to be cool" is that there are far too many people who actually do fake it just to be cool and it pisses me off whenever i see one
