    Default One Town's War on Gay Teens

    In Michele Bachmann's home district, evangelicals have created an extreme anti-gay climate. After a rash of suicides, the kids are fighting back.

    [...]

    The policy became unofficially known as "No Homo Promo" and passed unannounced to parents and unpublished in the policy handbooks; most teachers were told about it by their principals.

    [...]

    After Dylon was hit in the head with a binder and called "fag," the associate principal told Dylon that since there was no proof of the incident she could take no action. By contrast, Dylon and others saw how the same teachers who ignored anti-gay insults were quick to reprimand kids who uttered racial slurs. It further reinforced the message resonating throughout the district: Gay kids simply didn't deserve protection.

    Oh my God. It's insane how evil people can be towards those they hate, and amazing how passive and indifferent people can become when pressed just a little bit by evil men.

    I was talking about the evil gays/straight people taunted for being gay, trying to corrupt the pure Christians by killing themselves and getting syyympathy.

    Cool

    I read this article earlier and was very disgusted. This brings back memories from high school back in 2003-04 when there was a Gay Straight Alliance that was shutdown by the school administration. I don't know if a school can still do that. I think homosexuality, bisexuality, and transgenderism and the awareness of how common those lifestyles have always been that a place of learning should have nothing to fear from a student formed organization. In regards to Sarah Palin, she's so dumb and a product of lack of intelligence and party politics.

    The civil rights in question for the respective groups are as different as the groups themselves. Equating the hatred of LGBT individuals to racism just serves to endear those who are uneducated or sit on the fence concerning issues like gay marriage.

    EDIT: It's largely the same reason many people will become indignant if someone suggests that homosexuals aren't born gay, or that homosexuality is a choice. I find that ridiculous.

    strawman fallacy.
    Everyone recognizes that the most basic concept of rights means that yours end where mine begin.
    Thus, anything that infringes on the rights of another is not a right. It's not that difficult of a concept.

    Anyway, no, but you have the right to join and feel what you will.

    But they don't have the right to discriminate if it infringes on someone's rights, right?

    I don't remember seeing racism mentioned in the article in correlation to the LGBT group's treatment. They're just being discriminated by ideologic ignoramuses thanks to the misguided influence of religion and Sarah Palin's fervor.

    What are you talking about? I'm discussing why those who try to relate the LGBT movement to civil rights movements centered around racism are wrong, and why it cheapens the victories gay teens in America have fought so hard for. The kids in that town deserve to be respected and treated well because they're human beings with rights, not because some ill advised supporter of their movement tried to take the easy way and piggy back the issue onto racism. It seems to me you're just another pants on head, consensus needing ignoramus with no real critical thinking skills.

    No, they don't have the right to discriminate against them. Where are you even coming from?
    You should probably work on your reading comprehension.

    Are you completely stupid or just trying to make some weird point that isn't coming across?

    Of course the kids in that town deserve to be treated as human beings because they're human beings. That is also why black people etc. deserve to be treated as human beings. How can you not see how it's similar to civil rights issues?

    They don't have the right to discriminate against the LGBT community. People shouldn't be treated differently based on their sexual orientation. That's where I'm coming from.

    it is similar to civil rights not because gays are experiencing racial discrimination (they're obviously not) but because they are experiencing discrimination.

    Let me spell it out for you:

    Not defending something based on its own intrinsic value, and attempting to use other issues to validate what you're defending is bad. it's no no.


    Also, everyone knows that there is a high incidence of homosexual discrimination within the black community, so for you to say that is just extremely insensitive.

    I think he's insinuating that gays choose to stick their penises in other gay's asses and therefore deserve to discriminated against.
    But then that's what I always interpret dl as saying.

    i think he's making the point that discrimination is a natural process of society and choosing or not to be in a discriminated-against group (eg gay, black, poor) isn't a philosophically relevant factor in the rightness or wrongness of discrimination

    so you don't choose to be poor, but it's still acceptable to discriminate based on wealth (it is how capitalism works after all)

    likewise you don't choose to be gay but for some reason it's still not comparable to discrimination against blacks

    it's hard to tell if i'm on the money or not

    It's not a logical follow-on unless you have no meaningful science education, or would like to imply homosexuality it a disease, disorder, or similar defect. Since the gay community will not allow the latter...
