President Museveni Signs the "Kill the Gays" Bill Into Law

42. Don't hold your breath waiting

I've been following a series of very heated threads on GD regarding the objectification of women and although I haven't participated much myself, I have read through several and learned a lot about some of the posters there, i.e., if you mock feminist principles, laugh at the offense of women here or post flamebait threads which have no purpose other than to belittle and demean women, you're probably someone who really doesn't give two shits about issues of reproductive choice, equality for women, LGBT rights, etc. So defending a homophobic misogynist is just par for the course because those issues were never really a problem or priority for them to begin with. Conversely, if a poster descends upon one of the Pope threads pretending to care about these issues but in any other thread laughs in women's faces, they lose all credibility with me. Oh yes, I learned a lot.

That said, certainly not all posters fall into one of those two categories -- I was just pointing out that some folks are being quite obvious. I'm sure there are many here who are undergoing a true crisis of conscience. Sooner or later they will have to decide if the cost in human lives is really worth defending the indefensible.
