Actress Ellen Page: "I am gay"[W:1222]

Right. Because, as my article and numerous other studies on racism suggest, the capacity for oppressing will always exist.

Racism will exist across all races. It will never be expunged... all I was saying is the homosexual community will never let go of the tool called "oppression".

Right! Because the capacity for discriminating against people who are different will always exist.

Sheesh. This isn't rocket surgery.

Care to comment on the homosexual community never letting the tool of oppression go? That was my point multiple threads ago.

Uh...why would they let go of the concept of oppression if oppression exists? You're not making any sense.

Oh yeah... they're oppressed in America. They've got it horrible.

The Homosexual Community will treat it like the race pimps Sharpton, Jackson, Holder and Obama... they'll never let it die because it's their meal and media ticket.

Solution: rob them of the basis of their complaint by no longer discriminating against them. Easy peasy.

So SSM is legalized in America? Can gays be fired in America for being homosexual? Yes, they are still being oppressed.

Typical liberal who makes negative predictions before anything has happened. What makes you such an expert on everything especially this issue? How many gay people have been fired in the states that allow SSM? I assume then they are being oppressed in those states now?

So people don't still get beaten and/or killed for being LGBT in the states? They don't pass absurd laws in states like Arizona where businesses can now discriminate against homosexual and transgender people if it is "against their moral code". Give me a break. There is no federal law preventing businesses from firing people on the basis of sexual orientation. So yes, it can still happen in states that allow SSM. Statistics or no, it can legally still happen. That is oppression.

Did you read the post I was responding to? SSM has passed in a number of states, so the question remains and please try to keep up. IN THOSE STATES ARE SSM PARTNERS OPPRESSED, BEATEN, AND KILLED?

yes everybody educated and honest knows that gays are still factually being oppressed in this county in many ways and that includes the states that have granted equal rights.

These will be discrimination across all avenues in life... it's just these folks will never relinquish this tool, just as Obama, Sharpton, Holder, Jackson and their ilk will never seek to stop using the race card.

I don't agree with SSM. I believe it's an institution between a man and women, as it has been for thousands of years.

That's not oppression.

When one actually analyses the evolution of marriage since of the beginning of human permanent settlements one find this to be incredibly untrue.

That's not oppression.

Whatever you have to tell yourself.

Answer to your PLR: Just using history as a guide.

And some people thought marriage was between a man and woman of the same race. Guess that wasn't oppression either according to you.

Not the same argument, but nice try.

Insert quarter.

Try again.

The comparison is the same. In BOTH cases someone felt it was wrong.

Sorry you don't like your bigotry on display.

One could say the same about a Christian business being forced to sell a cake. Awwwww poor victims. A single ****ing tear rolls down my cheek for them having to sell a cake just like they do for everyone else.

Ahhhhhh... the bigot card flies, and your ignorance to basic facts shows. It is quite simple, though for some it obviously is not obvious.

It's not the same.

One was the marriage between a man and women; one has a vagina, the other a penis. The others do not possess these differences. So obviously they are not the same... are they?

Doh!
