General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Do It right DU : RT banned from /r/news section of Reddit. [View all]I didn't mean in general, not by any means. Just a select few people that are extremely sensitive. Just as there are a few "Either you praise Obama, or you hate him" people. Or that all heterosexual sex is suspected rape on the part of the man, that is the apparent position of some posting here.
Sorry If I was unclear. I don't understand why sexual preference should determine anyone's Rights. Men, women, gay, straight, some combination, all of us need to be treated the same, as far as legal Right are concerned. We are not, not by a long shot.
I think the IRS treating all married Gays equally in all the states, as being married, as a good step in the right direction. But there is still a long way to go in Equal Rights for all in this country.
Russia is wrong in their position on this. Why do people care about other people's sexual preference in the first place? Most people are not effected by who does what to whom in reasonable privacy, but again for some, on both sides, it is always front and center for them. And they act out wherever they perceive their pet outrage has been affronted. In this case, it is RT.com, only because it is based in Russia. If it were located in, say Europe, or Australia, there would probably not be a problem. And that was where I was coming from.
I hope I made myself a bit clearer.
