No they haven't.

I am pretty sure I said I have.

I never really cared about it to begin with.

They've always done this. Its like when Republicans use LGBT people to shit on Islam, when they fantasize about us burning in hell.

Well so do people that believe Islam.

But in the end, who are the ones throwing gay people off roofs.

Islam being the absolute worst for LGBT people does not negate the fact that Republicans are still bad. If you really cared about our rights you wouldn't deflect like I predicted someone would.

I guess TC forgot that time Trump got a stadium full of Republicans to cheer at the prospect of protecting gay people.

Like I said, I care. Never had a problem with anyone because they were gay. I support gay marriage and their ability to openly serve in the military and any other rights.

People talk that up too much. His speech about protecting gay people was him saying that they shouldn't be massacred in a night club and he used it as anti-Islamic rhetoric.

Don't know why conservatives seem so proud of passing this low bar.

"We don't throw gays off roofs!" Well congratu-fucking-lations.

It is more about the people that do.

He signed an EO that prioritizes religious liberty over LGBT liberty, but I'm sure you know that and you're just being contrary at this point.

How does relaxing laws about church support of a political candidate prioritize religious liberty over LGBT liberty?

There you go

There it is


It's that same regurgitated line

"throwing gay people off roofs"

Do you have an original thought rattling around in your skull, or can you only repeat t_d talking points like some kinda messed up parrot?

Isn't it great that republicans can pat themselves on the back and say, "Hey, at least we're not throwing them off roofs! We'll just restrict their rights!"

Well

Get used to it, because that talking point is gonna stick around as long as there people who simultaneously support both Islam and LGBT people.

Because it would protect organisations who wish to discriminate against LGBT groups on religious grounds?

Yes we are, that's why we accept gay muslims here.

"Religious grounds" is not a valid justification to restrict LGBT rights and it hasn't been for a long time.

I'm just saying, relying on slogans is a poor way to go about your life. That's all.

Throwing gay people "off the highest point" is exactly how Sharia Law commands gay people be executed. It's not just some recent practice made up by some psychos

Its just another deflection from these people.

"But hillary"
"But Islam"
"But inner cities"*

Etc

Definition of slogan
1
a : a war cry especially of a Scottish clan
b : a word or phrase used to express a characteristic position or stand or a goal to be achieved
2
: a brief attention-getting phrase used in advertising or promotion

Whether the practice is old or not is irrelevant

Trump supporters are the only ones who will call the Orlando Nightclub shooting as it really was, too.
Radical Islamic Terrorism. These radicals do not like gays or gay rights. They want them to die.

But don't worry, folks, the LIBERALS are the ones who will step up for LGBTQ rights!! Certainly not the Republicans who are trying to keep terrorist scum out of this country!

Does it make sense that the LGBTQ community is safer with a "let everyone inside the country" approach the liberals are in support for?

Ask yourself that question.
---

I'm not going to pat republicans on the back since they're LGBT-friendly enough to not literally throw us off buildings.

I mean... that's great and all... but I expect a bit more than that. It is a good start though, don't get me wrong.

It also makes it incredibly dishonest to hand-wave it as a slogan when it's actually a legitimate criticism.

I shouldn't need to state that I think killing gay people is wrong, Mal.

And no, when the level of care from another person is such that they can't be arsed to form their own opinion of it, instead having to fall back on slogans, I don't think waving them away is dishonest at all.

Wtf how else do you want him to say it?

"These worshippers of Allah subjugate their homosexual victims to death by terminal velocity from the precipice of skyscrapers"

That original enough for you?

Dismissing it as a slogan when the subject is brought up in a topic about pissing and moaning over an EO that doesn't harm LGBT people.

I'm dismissing the use of the slogan and the "care" that the person using it actually has for the issue.

So you don't need to state you care about LGBT people, but you will act as if others don't in order to win arguments over the internet.

Let's keep this conversation going. I want to see how petty you can really get.

Sephiroth1288 posted...

So you don't need to state you care about LGBT people

As I've been pro-LGBT for a number of years, rather vocally (not just when it's convenient to bash Muslims, like *ahem* some people) I think my stance on LGBT folks is quite clear to anyone with half a brain or who knows me even in passing on this forum.



Sephiroth1288 posted...

Again, if these other folks brought up gays and gay rights once or twice without using them as a blunt object to bash muslims, then maybe their sincerity wouldn't be so doubtful.
