The Homosexuality Discussion Thread

[Danny]

This is why we need equality.

 

[Joel]

I wish people would recognize this is what happens when you let Jesus' tears influence laws.

 

[Dennisch]

Reading a story like that makes me cringe so badly. Such medieval thinking.

 

[playnthru]

It's sad these things are still happening, especially here. Someday people will learn to live together, someday. Hate is such a wasted emotion.

 

[Pupik]

Don't worry, some Southern State will probably issue an order to overturn any such ruling, along with a ritual cross burning and lynching, just to make sure nobody catches the gay disease on the way out.

I kid, I kid.

Every time you think we're there yet, it's some mirage warning us we're taking two steps back as a society.

You mean you don't get babies by putting your seed and watering it regularly?

Are you serious? You can't be serious. Seriously?




It's obvious babies come from storks. I thought this was common knowledge but I guess it isn't.

It staggers me that in a civilised nation that such laws still exist and are enforced without any regard to humanity and without embarrassment. Horrible.

Let's hope that higher profile cases like this move things on a little faster.

This. 👍 I wanted to make a post to this effect, but I could understand how someone could be so cruel over something that has so little impact on anyone other than those involved.

In Russia, a gang of skinheads posed as a gay man online looking for sex. A 15-year-old boy took up the offer, and was brutally tortured (physically and mentally). Here's the link, but I think it's a bit NSFW.

 

[Liquid]

Ooooh, that's vile.

 

[Danny]

Awful. Russia has a horrific record for human rights.

Let's balance it out with some good news.

Very short, but very significant article.

 

[Liquid]

Well ****ing good!

 

[PeterJB]

I like this Pope, he's a lot more fun that the last one.

 

[Liquid]

He's a lot less theocratic and judgemental than the last one.

 

[axletramp]

Dis Pope is dope.

Well, dope-ish anyway...

 

[DQuaN]

When was the last time someone came in this thread and said they think homosexuality is "wrong" or "unnatural" or "a sin" etc?

 

[Liquid]

Dunno. Haven't seen ranman around for a while.

 

[Carbonox]

Dunno. Haven't seen ranman around for a while.

Or even "Monkeys eat 🤬 too, it's simply unnatural" Frogman.

 

[PeterJB]

He tackles poverty and economic inequality, which are the issues that really matter at the moment, instead of using his Christmas messages to slander homosexuals and Muslims.

 

[axletramp]

It will be interesting how certain sections of Christianity (Catholics) respond to this. I don't feel that it's simply a case of 'the Pope thinks this, therefore so do we'. A good start nonetheless. 👍

 

[Liquid]

'the Pope thinks this, therefore so do we

That's kind of how the Papacy works.

Unless what the Pope says contradicts the sect's own views, of course...

 

[PeterJB]

Well, he rules the roost, so he gets the last word.

The men view homosexuals as "paedophiles", so it's okay to torture them.

Ironically, couldn't what *they* did to this 15 year old could be considered paedophilia?

That's the basic plot of the movie Red State, with a few changes.

Unless you find physical torture and dumping urine on someone a sexual act, no.

Exactly. It's abuse of a minor.

'Paedophillia', really...

 

[Sage Ages]

how they will breed ?

There's God knows how many people in the world. I don't think that would be a problem.

Physical torture and urine are both fetishes.

 

[Liquid]

Considering this was a hate crime, I doubt this was the case in this particular context. So it was not an 'ironic' case of paedophillia at all.

Just an abhorrent abuse of a minor in the course of obstructing and obfuscating equality and human rights.

 

[FoolKiller]

Physical torture and urine are both fetishes.

So are shoes. Does that mean everyone who wears shoes is performing a sexual act as they walk around in their daily routine?

Everything is a fetish somewhere. If this is pedophilia as reported then we all perform dozens of alternative sexual acts just by getting ready for work/school.

 

[Danny]

Everything is a fetish somewhere.

Nope.
