Of course the G.D.U is out in drones. They fight for the acceptance of homosexuality but are quick to assassinate the character of those who disagree with them. Yes we should love our fellow man but shouldn't you respect your fellow man like you ask others to do? Lead by example.
I want to understand people's root beliefs that lead them to look upon others as different, and try to correct any misinformed or otherwise incorrectly assumed facts that they may have and hope that that allows them to take a second look at the way they look at things.
But this is a simple matter of one principle colliding with another principle: I want to respect everyone, but what do I do about those who so blindly assume (incorrectly) about others?
I will confront them, yes...and I WILL have my words with them...but it doesn't mean that I don't respect them or otherwise believe them to be inferior.
But if I take your approach, then I will be label as someone who pushes his religious beliefs on others and I will be verbally lynched. See my problem is with people (not you) is if they do this for gays, its great, heroic and revolutionary. But if I do it, well you've probably seen the witch hunts before. Is that fair? Is it fair that you can judge the opinions of others as wrong and incorrect but I can't?
I'm not coming at you or anything, I like a good debate, but I hope you see what I do. Do you see what I'm talking about?
I'm not trying to push my beliefs on anybody. Like I said up above, if "HueyP" (what a disgusting misuse of a great civil rights leader) really has done his research, and is content to believe the flawed arguments he's presented (and if you read up above, you will see how I pointed out that they were flawed), then I'm simply going to have to agree to disagree with him and leave it as is.
The problem is, some of this misinformation is SO deep-seated that I have to be somewhat aggressive about it. You won't see me attacking anyone's character, ever...but if I see something in someone's arguments or assumptions that are clearly and factually wrong, I will go out of my way to point it out.
That's it. I want EVERYONE to have an objective viewpoint about these types of things. I won't stand for people just saying "Oh man, being gay isn't dat piff in da hood. Imma throw out my jerseys." Discrimination, on that level, is extremely difficult to dislodge because people have been raised to believe certain untruths. And that's sad.
I will lay down my gauntlets at a certain point, in terms of arguing with people on this board. But like I said, I like to understand where someone's coming from before I go in with a full-fledged rebuttal.
Believe me, I'm far from perfect. I don't want to preach. But certain injustices irk me too much to just say NOTHING about it.
Oh and its not you who does the killing of character. Its the usually daytime NT'ers who subscribe to this.
What if someone doesn't agree with homosexuality because of their spiritual background? Are those untruths?
