The Petition To Have Bert and Ernie From "Sesame Street" Get Married, Falls Flat - Polidicks

[QUOTE=NO ONE;31766345]But there is like nothing even hinting that they are gay. Yeah, as said, they have no real sexual preferences, but even more so they definitely are not gay. So this doesn't make sense to me.[/QUOTE] Would you be against new characters coming out to talk about gay rights?

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;31766350]That's the same fucking thing.[/QUOTE] nah you aren't born religious

[QUOTE=Megafanx13;31766359]Would you be against new characters coming out to talk about gay rights?[/QUOTE] I wouldn't give a shit, I wouldn't give a shit either if later they were removed. [QUOTE=Sanius;31766371]nah you aren't born religious[/QUOTE] How would you know? I was born into a family of Catholics.

[QUOTE=Megafanx13;31766359]Would you be against new characters coming out to talk about gay rights?[/QUOTE] i'd much prefer that than tampering with existing characters [editline]16th August 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Sanius;31766347]no, they don't matter if your religion mandates that you wear a colander full of spaghetti where ever you go, being told to take it off doesn't mean anything and your problems mean absolutely nothing[/QUOTE] wow i rest my case

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;31766380]I wouldn't give a shit, I wouldn't give a shit either if later they were removed.[/QUOTE] so you're completely fine with children not being told that homosexuals exist and that homosexuality is okay and you say you're not a homophobe?

[QUOTE=Sanius;31766400]so you're completely fine with children not being told that homosexuals exist and that homosexuality is okay and you say you're not a homophobe?[/QUOTE] he's saying [I]he doesn't fucking care[/I]

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;31766380]I wouldn't give a shit, I wouldn't give a shit either if later they were removed.[/QUOTE] Well here's a question: Why don't you care about LGBT rights?

just like you don't care about religious freedom

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;31766380] How would you know? I was born into a family of Catholics.[/QUOTE] that doesn't mean you were born religious everyone is born atheistic and areligious

[QUOTE=Sanius;31766400]so you're completely fine with children not being told that homosexuals exist and that homosexuality is okay and you say you're not a homophobe?[/QUOTE] What you don't seem to get is that whilst I would not care if that happened, I would not care if the exact opposite happened. [QUOTE=Megafanx13;31766430]Well here's a question: Why don't you care about LGBT rights?[/QUOTE] Because it has little effect in my day to day life. I would still get up in the mornings, go to my last year in school, I would still eat food and drink liquid, I would still make money, invest and spend it, I would still sleep and play the same games and watch the same shows. It doesn't improve my life or make it worse, which is why I don't care.

[QUOTE=KingKombat;31766424]he's saying [I]he doesn't fucking care[/I][/QUOTE] Which I would argue is almost worse than being against their rights.

[QUOTE=Megafanx13;31766439]Which I would argue is almost worse than being against their rights.[/QUOTE] how it's not like he would suppress their rights had he been given the chance and power

[QUOTE=KingKombat;31766466]how it's not like he would suppress their rights had he been given the chance and power[/QUOTE] No, but he'd probably turn a blind eye if they got discriminated against by other groups. Like, say he's the president of the US, he'd probably just let states or the federal government declare that gay marriage is illegal and should stay illegal, he wouldn't give a shit.

[QUOTE=Megafanx13;31766439]Which I would argue is almost worse than being against their rights.[/QUOTE] It makes me less enemies however than siding with one or the other.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;31766518]It makes me less enemies however than siding with one or the other.[/QUOTE] a ship is safest in harbor, but it is never meant to stay

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;31766518]It makes me less enemies however than siding with one or the other.[/QUOTE] The idea that you are only [I]less antagonistic[/I] than the proponent's polar opposites isn't a comforting notion.

[QUOTE=Sanius;31766543]a ship is safest in harbor, but it is never meant to stay[/QUOTE] It's best to steer a clear path between two storms.

it's best not to call people gay homofags on their profiles if you're trying not to come off as a homophobe

[QUOTE=Sanius;31766776]it's best not to call people gay homofags on their profiles if you're trying not to come off as a homophobe[/QUOTE] Are you that stupid? No really how fucking thick can one be?

uh well i don't get why you did that

Someone, please enlighten me about this whole "LGBT rights" thing. What exactly can't a gay person do that a straight person can?

[QUOTE=Ardosos;31767205]Someone, please enlighten me about this whole "LGBT rights" thing. What exactly can't a gay person do that a straight person can?[/QUOTE] get married in some states [editline]16th August 2011[/editline] have you been living under a rock

[QUOTE=Ardosos;31767205]Someone, please enlighten me about this whole "LGBT rights" thing. What exactly can't a gay person do that a straight person can?[/QUOTE] Get married and receive the financial benefits that come with it, and that sexual orientation isn't included in discrimination laws.

[QUOTE=Ardosos;31767205]Someone, please enlighten me about this whole "LGBT rights" thing. What exactly can't a gay person do that a straight person can?[/QUOTE] Other than the things other people are going to mention to do with gay people, you seem to have forgotten the transgender part of that acronym. You tell me that transgendered and gay people are treated equally in today's society, and I will laugh in your face.

You tell me that transgendered and gay people are treated equally in today's society, and I will laugh in your face.[/QUOTE] True that Trans people are not treated equally, but that's hard to regulate or fix beyond including sexual orientation or status in discrimination laws.

[QUOTE=KingKombat;31767229] have you been living under a rock[/QUOTE] No, I just couldn't think of any rights that straight people have that gay people lack. I've never seen any State that forbids gays to get married, even though the law might say so. Basically, I've never actually seen anyone inconvenienced by a lack of said rights.
