Anything mentioning lesbians tends to get voted down on here. I've never quite worked out why. I'm guessing someone's wife ran off with another woman.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
Or it got voted down because it doesn't belong in the lounge

LOL. Lesbians are welcome to lounge wherever they like, I suppose. The post, you idiot! :-P JOKE ALERT!

It's politics and likely to inflame the passions.

Yes, and my point was just the same. Why is OK for one group, that YOU approve of, to put pressure to enforce its views, while it's not OK for another group YOU DISapprove of to enforce its, perhaps opposite, views? You're a hypocrite! And you're a bigot!

And either way, the implications are staggering” - Wernher von BraunActually, I've not voiced my views on what I think of homosexuality, one way or another. I consider it more abstractly. Example: 'Gay Marriage' - whatever my religious beliefs, we are talking about a legal/civil event. There should be (in my opinion) any religious input into how the decision is made, but one based only upon human rights. My only objection is that if one recognizes a particular alternative lifestyle (in legal terms) it is discriminatory not to recognize (all?) others. Following this (to an extreme point), how should a corporation handle employee family medical benefits when an employee's declared family unit is six adults and many many a child? Will this destroy the benefit system? Back to original subject: I don't see even a vague parallel in the choice of a spokesperson and supplying potentially lifesaving diagnostic services to women. What I do disapprove of is that these zealots infested the board of directors of Komen - but their agenda apparently isn't that of helping women but rather political control. It is clear that their driving force is not that of Komen's avowed mission, but that of subverting it for their own ends. My argument is based upon principals - in a large portion, to a religious one: Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you.

Of course, and I even think most of your posts are funny, even the "religious" ones. I just think you're going on a bit too much because someone happens to disagree with your humourous take on things religious. So what, people jump down my though on this site all the time and downvote me. Big deal.

Sexuality is not politics. Young Ravel came out to the community recently and declared he was gay. The overriding opinion of the lounge was "So?" or "Whateva!" or "Well done for having the courage to tell us, now do you have any good jokes" He wasn't sent packing to the soapbox or the back room.

The post wasn't about sexuality. It was about someone's response to another's sexuality, which is politics. And sexuality certainly IS politics, because sex requires two people. And anywhere there are two people (or more), there's politics involved.

Bill O'Reilly standing up for Ellen DeGeneres[^] Worth watching :thumbsup: It's about JC Penny, who have chosen Ellen Degeneres as their spokesperson. One Million Moms, a mathematically-challenged group of 40,000 bored, whiny stay-at-home pastors’ wives really hate the gays. So they called for a boycott - and received a close down for their facebook group page.

I didn't say what your views of homosexuality were. It's quite obvious that you think it's ok, and that you approve of a group that pressured Komen to supply funds to abort babies. It's quite obvious that you think ill of a group (you called them zealots, a pejorative term) that is attempting to pressure JC Penney to fire someone because of their "lifestyle". It's clear you think they should be silenced. You are correct that having Ellen Degeneres as a spokesperson and Abortion are not the same thing. What is the same is that these two groups should be allowed to voice their opinions freely and not be attacked and demonized for thinking differently. You are a hypocrite and a bigot.

Hmm, I guess I failed to see the humour. Sorry. My bad. Still don't see it. Sometimes I'm like a bulldog, don't know when to let go and shut-up.

Let the people vote with their feet. Personally, I find 'gay activism' offensive. It really is a private thing, sexuality, but too often gays are 'in your face' with it.

The anchor says that it is wrong for people to demand what they are demanding. The people demanding think it is wrong for Ellen Degeneres to be representing that company because she is gay. What's the difference? These kinds of debates that are based solely on opinions are a massive waste of time. We have quite a few of those (albeit other topics) on Indian TV too but I watch it for pure entertainment.
