Regarding "DONE"


Toa of Dancing

I mostly agree with this blog post by DeeVee. That's what needed to be said, and I applaud him. This entire "war" was ridiculous and horrid and needed to stop. Deevs brought down that hammer where it was needed, and again I agree with almost everything he said. Intolerance is wrong and disgusting.

 

However. What, then, are we still allowed to discuss? Are we not allowed to say that we personally believe that homosexual/bisexual orientations are wrong, even if we believe as much with every fiber of our being? Are we not allowed to ask someone not to be overt around us because it makes us uncomfortable?

 

I am not saying that, in my own personal case, I will be intolerant of their views and their existence. I will acknowledge that real people are like this, and exist around me, and are otherwise "good" people. But as far as I can tell, I can't now state that I disagree with one aspect of their lifestyle?

 

Feel free to leave this, drop my proto for expressing my thoughts against this, respond, or whatever. I personally believe that it is oppression to not let me say that I think a choice is wrong, though. I say it with good intent and I do not mean to light a fire. I just want the boundaries of speech on this site to be clear.

No, you are not allowed to. That is discriminatory and intolerant.

No, you are not allowed to tell people to not be who they are because you are homophobic, etc.

But as far as I can tell, I can't now state that I disagree with one aspect of their lifestyle?

It is not a 'lifestyle.' Cutting your hair short or getting a tattoo or smoking is a lifestyle choice. Your sexual orientation and gender identity are a genetic part of who you are, just as much as your skin color.

I personally believe that it is oppression to not let me say that I think a choice is wrong, though.

Again, we are not talking about a choice. If you would not go up to someone and say, 'I disagree with your eye color,' you should not go up to them and say, 'I disagree with your sexuality.'

 

Proto dropped and posting privileges suspended for a week.
