Honest answer, Sal.
You and seaoat and all your kind keep telling us all about how bigotry against black people is getting so much worse. You all preach it from your little pulpits almost on a daily basis.
And when someone comes along and tells you black people are now so much better accepted in society than used to be the case, you will hear none of that. "Bullshit" you say. And then you get on your soapboxes and tell us how it's now gotten so bad that most all the white cops are persecuting blacks again. That bigotry against blacks now is as bad or worse than it ever was.
But when it comes to homosexual bigotry, for some reason unbeknownest to me, you take the exact opposite position. You want to portray that entirely differently. You want to tell me that everything has now advanced beyond that and now there's only this little handful of "bubbas" left to do the hating. And if I don't go along with that then it's because I "agree with the bubbas" or I'm engaged in "self-loathing" or both.
The reality is that, right now today, half or more of the fucking candidates for President of the United States are homophobes.
But that doesn't even count to you. Because you honestly believe that all those candidates are cowtowing to only a handful of "bubbas".
Candidates campaigning for the party nomination are not out there spending millions of dollars just to cowtow to a handful of voters, Sal.
To believe that is just a naive and unrealistic view of how the election process works.
Yes I know, in your naivete you honestly do believe the republican party only caters to a handful of "bubbas".
But it took a lot more than a handful of bubbas for that political party to now control both houses of Congress.
Just as the case with racial bigotry, homosexual bigotry is still alive and well. And while you and seaoat may live in some kind of little world of your own where all you ever associate with is people with the same ideas as you, there is a whole nother world out here that is nothing like yours. And nothing like what you think it is.
Maybe that's an honest answer from your perspective, but it's wrong on nearly every count, and has precious little to do with what I asked.
If you feel so persecuted, it seems you should be celebrating the SCOTUS decision and grateful to those who made it possible.
Instead, you want to continue to hide and wallow in your victimhood.
Have you seen the pictures and videos of people dancing and celebrating in the streets across the country?
Do those pictures and videos make you uncomfortable?
