15. I AM NOT FUCKING DEFENDING ANYONE! I am telling you that the World...

...is a nasty fucking place that does not give a flying fuck for your wishful wooly thinking.

I am telling you that the World will not change its mind about LGTB people until the World is damned well ready to change its mind. Just as the World is still making up its mind about women, child labour, slavery, bull, cock and dog fighting and other abominable human practices.

I am telling you that if we attempt to forcefully change the worlds mind for it, before it is ready to change, the results WOULD BE A BLOODBATH. Have been a bloodbath for women in Iraq and Afghanistan despite (and in fact in deliberate response to) the boot heel of the US on their collective necks. Have gone beyond bloodbath in sub-Saharan Africa where law and order have broken down almost entirely.

Most of these people you hate so vehemently wouldn't recognise either human right or crime against humanity if they leapt up and bit them on the face. The just plain DO NOT KNOW ENOUGH to even know that such things exist, let alone have any valid meaning in a world where subsistence living is the norm.
