I think your quote ate your reply, Arx. And while your particular interpretation of Christianity may not endorse homophobia, all too many other peoples do.Let's not argue about it here, though - that's what the religion and philosophy thread is for.

Fixed, thanks. My phone tends to struggle with even medium-length posts.

I'm afraid as long as people are discussing law as influenced by religion and/or it's topical, I will defend religion itself. If it gets off-topic, I'll stop.

And as I have said before, I'm almost certain it's impossible to Biblically justify opression, etc. I am fairly confident any interpretation favouring homophobia of this sort can be flattened.

Arx posted this in the progressive discussion thread, and I just have to argue with him, (Don't judge me!) so here we go.

To be honest, I'm fine with whatever discrimination law they put up, so long as they put up signs so the gay people know to avoid them.

And really, walking far would be a pain in the ass, but that's your punishment for living in a shithole. If you aren't happy, stop being a bitch and change it.

But the thing is, for many of those people it just isn't practical to change it. I don't think you understand how bad it is in some places. I you're barely scraping by, like many people are, up and moving just isn't practical.

Yeah, but the thing is that as sure as day, the universe will try to fuck you up. If you don't fight and scream, nothing's going to change.

Last I checked they don't lynch gay people.

And honestly all this time spent despairing could be better spent trying to kill the politicians who let this happen.

Have you seen how militarized our police are? You would get shot. Like, a lot. They would run you down with APCs and dance o your bloody mangled corpse. And then assassinate your family with drones.

Of course, just boycotting segregationists doesn't work when you specifically prevent businesses from not participating

There's a difference between one racist business owner not letting certain people in and the state specifically requiring that businesses all be segregated.

When asked how you'd be able to see, he said that your first eye would have healed by then.
