I think he has a good point. It just shouldn't be generalized so far as he is doing. Burr Send a noteboard - 16/10/2012 09:23:13 PM
It would be dishonest not to admit that sometimes we get tired of being on the defensive and attack back with more verbal cruelty than is necessary. But I don't think it is generally characteristic of the gay rights movement, nor of the terms Narg has picked out.

And it certainly isn't a valid defense of being against gay marriage anymore than calling someone a bigot (however accurately the term might be applied) is a valid defense of being for gay marriage.

I have to agree with that one. Most people come out in order to be more honest with their family. Burr - 16/10/2012 02:39:46 AM 473 Views
Interesting article. *NM* Aeryn - 15/10/2012 02:28:09 PM 205 Views

Problem is, it's not so much that they are ignoring the truth... Burr - 16/10/2012 02:21:08 AM 454 Views
Maybe most conservative christians... Narg - 15/10/2012 11:44:13 PM 474 Views
Sorry, that is just an attempted role-reversal; objecting to hatred is not the "real hatred." Joel - 16/10/2012 01:26:39 AM 432 Views
In addition, the bible doesn't forbid it. The bible is not a monolithic work, but an anthology. Burr - 16/10/2012 02:32:59 AM 550 Views

What I said is correct. Narg - 16/10/2012 05:49:13 PM 412 Views
Dude, the "You're intolerant of intolerance!" argument is so played out beetnemesis - 16/10/2012 08:34:35 PM 673 Views

Wrong. I am talking about labels and what they are used for. Narg - 16/10/2012 10:42:11 PM 489 Views
And on the other hand, various "logical justifications" tend to boil down to one thing: beetnemesis - 16/10/2012 11:01:50 PM 423 Views
The way you define bigot is up to you Narg - 16/10/2012 11:19:18 PM 435 Views
I actually DO believe that anti-gay-marriage people eat babies ;-) *NM* imlad - 16/10/2012 11:32:35 PM 229 Views
We use "bigot" like Christians use "sinner." Burr - 16/10/2012 09:12:39 PM 516 Views
You can't just assume someone has the motivation you want them to have. Narg - 16/10/2012 11:08:09 PM 431 Views
For me it is as simple as looking into my own heart, several years back. Burr - 17/10/2012 04:51:13 AM 401 Views
Nonsense. Hateful choices have everything to do with motivation. Narg - 17/10/2012 07:52:58 AM 441 Views
