Gay Marriage, The New Fight for Civil Rights?

I'm sorry Judy but I work with tolerant people that have gay freinds I live a half block from a gay bar. Big whoop. I get tired of the I'm a victim BS.

while you are deciding to somewhat agree or totally put me down I am going out for a smoke. Take your time.

Uhhh LGBT people are unequal before the law in a variety of ways.

That does make us victims of marginalization and oppression. Your refusal to acknowledge this is what aggravates me. Blaming the victim is simple to do instead of looking at the systematic discrimination which causes victimization through the loss of ones job to neing kicked out of the military.

Again PLEASE!!!! quit WHINING! what the f---. Are you still wearing diapers, What the hell. I wasn't even speaking to you.

The notion that LGBT people claim victimhood merely because we are weak is an ad hominem attack and illogical fallacy. In most states LGBT people can be fired from their job merely for being who we are. The loss of job means a loss of income with which you cannot support yourself. Thus, you are indeed a victim of discrimination in which the financial and psychological hurt from that happens.

After that Judy, I don't really expect a response from you. I just have to say I'm a tolerant person based on family decisions. I think the intolerance displayed itself tonight and I need to go to bed. good night.
