Cool. Maybe Israel will finally catch up to Alabama Scootaloo Mar 2015 #2

What an ignorant post King_David Mar 2015 #4

You think nightclubs are the sole determiner of gay rights? That's pathetic. Scootaloo Mar 2015 #7

Huh ? King_David Mar 2015 #9

I just happen to think there are more important things than party spots Scootaloo Mar 2015 #10

Like being able to live as an LGBT person King_David Mar 2015 #11

So is oppression and killing the way to change that? Scootaloo Mar 2015 #12

Just as I thought... Newsflash : LGBT rights are paramount to myself King_David Mar 2015 #13

I think you're terribly confused, Dave, so I'll ask again. Scootaloo Mar 2015 #14

LGBT rights are not a bazaar or a dollar store. nt King_David Mar 2015 #16

No human rights are, Dave. So why do you treat them as such? Scootaloo Mar 2015 #17

Another ignorant post King_David Mar 2015 #18

Okay, I'll walk you through this slowly. Scootaloo Mar 2015 #19

Who has less rights. dave... R. Daneel Olivaw Mar 2015 #20

LGBT rights are not expendable and will nor wait until it's King_David Mar 2015 #21

The Question was about Palestinians vs LGBTQ Israelis, dave. R. Daneel Olivaw Mar 2015 #22

No , what I said was LGBT rights will NOT wait or defer for a more convenient moment nt King_David Mar 2015 #26

And once again, dave, the question that I asked was about both Palestinians and LGBTQ Israelis. R. Daneel Olivaw Mar 2015 #32

Can't answer because I have no idea what you saying there. nt King_David Mar 2015 #34

I believe that you are being completely disingenuous with that comment, dave. R. Daneel Olivaw Mar 2015 #39

Thanks for your reply: Palestinians have less rights that Israelis: LGBTQ or not. R. Daneel Olivaw Mar 2015 #23

So, the following nations do not "deserve to exist" Scootaloo Mar 2015 #24

Maybe LGBT rights are not that important to you, King_David Mar 2015 #25

Absolutely it's important Scootaloo Mar 2015 #27

Strange question King_David Mar 2015 #28

Are you willing to let other human rights abuses slide, if the abuser happens to be "gay friendly"? Scootaloo Mar 2015 #29

Gay rights can not be deferred for a more convenient time nt King_David Mar 2015 #30

Should other people's rights be deferred, then? Scootaloo Mar 2015 #31

That's a strange answer to Scoot's question. R. Daneel Olivaw Mar 2015 #33

You and Scootaloo continue the duet : King_David Mar 2015 #35

And you continue to be easily cornered with your two-dimensional reasoning. R. Daneel Olivaw Mar 2015 #36

It's good to see someone so passionate about their peoples cause King_David Mar 2015 #37

I guess you were referring to yourself there since you are undable to answer a direct question R. Daneel Olivaw Mar 2015 #38

In light of the apartheid win in Israel. R. Daneel Olivaw Mar 2015 #40

I swear this woman reminds me more Hillary every day azurnoir Mar 2015 #3

Exactly right ... King_David Mar 2015 #5

so what's stopping Israel from having marriage equality right now? how will that change? azurnoir Mar 2015 #6

We will wait and see if they deliver on their promise King_David Mar 2015 #8
