Do gays deserve the same protection some minorities get?

you're right, and that's why i think we shouldn't look down on those who don't do as i do. the problem is that when people expect everyone to do what they do, be it running away or fighitng.

I can agree that if every single person, in a specifically oppressive situation to their demographic, stood up for themselves and tried to get others to help them, positive change would be MUCH easier for that person.

But not everyone is a fighter or is passionate enough to do that.

And way to go for getting yourself banned! 😠 😠 😠

WTH did you do? (I expect an answer from you, immediately. 😆 )

You would rather the oppressed stay where they are and fight, instead of them taking the option of a better life somewhere else? Isn't that unreasonable? Why should they have to fight for it? Not everyone is a fighter. On top of that, why can't the person "fight" from a safer location? Don't you think what you're implying is slightly unreasonable? Not everyone thinks as inimalist does. This is why fleeing reamins a viable option for some. If everyone thought as inimalist did, then there wouldn't be oppression in the first place. Agreed?

I think we just had another series of saying essentially the same thing just different enough to miss eachother

Indeed. We do that a lot...and it starts on both ends. 😆

Is there anything else you'd like to argue the same result, about? 😄

😆

I had an argument with a gay friend about the whole campaign to stop using the term gay in the expletive. I said that even though I already do it rarely and only for comic effect, I would agree, but only if she stopped using the terms gyped, jewed, f@gged, paddy wagon, picnic, hooligan, vandal, hysteria, hysterical, jew fish, jew harp, gypsy moth, roman shower, irish condom, catholic roulette, russian roulette, cu nt, bltch, missionary position, indian giver, indian burn, and glasgow smile. I think I proved my point and won the arguement.

And I get most, I guess, but what's wrong with missionary?

missionary position, i edited it.

What's wrong with missionary position and cvnt?

it's harder to hit all the right spots

I meant why do you object to the word cvnt (Latin pronunciation b!tches). Vagina is actually the word with a sordid and insulting history, it would fit better in that list.
