That's some real live straight privilege right there.

Let's back up again and see what the person said at the top of this thread:

"I have no doubt that Conservatives and Christian Fundys in America would do the same here if they could get away with it."

I bolded the part you apparently missed before you got your fee fees hurt and started constructing your own straw man army arguing a point (that ALL Christians feel that way) no one was making.

"Conservatives and Christian fundys "

"Conservatives and Christian fundys "

"Conservatives and Christian fundys "

What I think about the "gay issue" . I live it every day, pal. I worry about it when my partner comes home and tells me some high school kids pulled up next to him at a light calling him "faggot". Mostly because, unlike me, he wouldn't run down some basher that tried to stop his car.

I worry about it everytime I stop at my favorite martini bar and have to check my bag and laptop- that's a result of some non existent Christian rightwinger nut who had a hobby of blowing up gay bars and abortion clinics.

Oh yeah, cite your war whipping for attacking Saudi Arabia. If it exists at all, it is at a far TheKentuckian Feb 2015 #59

The reason why your entire line of reasoning is wrong is because it is a false dilemma, a fallacy stevenleser Feb 2015 #60
