Ahhh. So, what? Your blaming the fact she is openminded and finds extreme homophobia disturbing, and the fact she posts topics for the discussion of predjudice on the Discussion forum, on PMS? Jesus. Im as much of a fan as PMS as the next poor hapless bastard, but I dont blame social concern on periods, for fucks sake.
Any straight person that has a more complicated view on homosexuality other then "It doesnt affect me, it never will affect me, so therefore I dont care" is being a bigot to some degree or other. I dont care whether your reasons for not wanting equal rights or marriage laws are religion based, or you "Just dont think its right." or "Its not NAT'RAL, Cletus *hyuk*".
Someone give me ONE damn bullet proof reason why a gay person is any less of a person then a straight person, or one good reason why seperate marriage laws or any other form of segregation or different treatment is necessary. Note: Fictional reasons, and religious crap relating to "The sanctity of marriage" or aspersions to bestiality or pedophilia dont count. Marriage might be some wonderful peice of crap to you, but to a lot of people, marriage is open to all.
Forevergray, your argument has been used over and over again. (If we allow people to do the sinful fornicatin' devil-thing with people of their own gender, surely that will instantly lead to the legalisation of bestiality with underage puppies?). The argument is bullshit, and has always been bullshit. Sex can occur between any people of any number, and as long as everyone present is conssenting and capable of consenting in every possibly mental capacity, its all gravy. People too mentally damaged to make fully informed consent, or young children who dont know the full societal implications of sex or who arnt biologically developed to the point where they can deal with it, do NOT count as giving full consent. Its all about consent between equals, nothing else matters. Personally Im amazed by the fact that anyone can still get away with trying to impose restrictions or laws on other peoples private consensual fun, and therefore taking away that persons very liberties which all you Americans wont shut up about.
We COULD always do the "Civil Union" bullshit, and go down the whole road of segregation. After all, the seperate race schools and the segregated neighbourhoods that all surfaced after black people started getting rights all worked just so damn well, didnt they? Segregation has always worked as a way of acheiving equality and a lack of animosity. Just look at the human races track record!
There we go. I dont have a vagina, and by extension no PMS, so you now cant blame the humanitarian opinion on a rush of hormones.
