The Senate is set to vote this week on a bill to codify the Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage protections after a bipartisan group of senators unveiled a deal earlier Monday, signaling they believe they have the votes to get past a filibuster and move the measure to President Biden’s desk.

Trans =/= gay is my understanding. Maybe take that to another thread.
-
Thankfully it isn't. Gay people were made by and blessed by God! However, many gay people are pushing trans. They're now interconnected.
-
So were trans people made by god too or just gays

God is all knowing and all powerful.
As such, God cannot make mistakes.
If trans people exist, it is because God wills it.

Our company got a message from a dude the other day to do design and development work.
I called him back and caught him at work where he was sort of 'hush hush' about what his company did so I assumed it was either a side hustle outside of his day job or something NSFW.
He dropped the name and said it was a meeting place for men, I googled and the website showed this was not your average gay club, it listed rules including the need to use newspapers for fisting. The pictures showed the windows were barred. :confused
I mean, this was clearly old-school YMCA hardcore gay stuff not the soy Twitter employee with blue hair and nail polish gay stuff.
Anyhow, I told our account manager to make an appointment with him but I'm not sure if she got a message back.
Usually these folks don't dare to show once they realize that their 'secret' would be out in the open or known by at least a dozen or so people involved with a project.
Which I think is pretty sad tbh.
-
Use a newspaper for fisting? I'm not a fisting expert, but do they not have access to latex gloves and lube?

I haven't looked into it at all so I can't tell you what exactly I think is true about the actual bill but I just saw Twitter is full of LGBTQ "activists" screaming about how this is a plot by the Christofascist Right that the Democrats just got suckered into allowing and that Joe Biden will ignorantly sign into law not realizing how it will bring about the end of all civil rights. So, like, watch out I guess?

I wish I was born a lesbian, but I guess in life some people get all the luck and the rest of us get none, and there's nothing we can do to change it
:rage
Australia had a Postal Survey for gay marriage in 2017 and when the results came in (61.6% for 38.4% against) they were interviewing all the gay people at the rally/celebration on the street for the news, and the last person they intervewed was a woman who said something to the effect of "it's a little hard to celebrate when 40% of people just basically told you they hate your guts", which was the exact same cynical attitude I had about it at the time. The law may change but the number of bigots stays the same. So anyway Tasty, I hope when legislation passes you can take a moment during your jubilation to dwell on how awful everything is, hope and optimism is bad for you.

Fucking hell trashy, you've been on a major downer lately, everything ok?

I would be a little more charitable than that
some people hold the position of "I don't feel strongly about them one way or the other but I hold very traditional views about marriage being between a man and a woman"
or "I don't hate them but marriage is a christian ceremony and like it or not, the same book that glorifies marriage also condemns their love"
I don't defend views like these nor the people who hold them, I'm just pointing out there is a (still unfortunate) spectrum beyond "I literally hate your guts," and it's a spectrum that can be slowly altered over time, if you just ask people what they meant by voting no rather than assuming their intent
there are too many groups interpreting the mildest pushback or being told "no" as literal actual hatred and genocide, because if you're being genocided then everybody else has to stop what they're doing and cater to you above all else

This is where I sit. I separate between homosexuality (the act) and homosexual people. That being said I'm not perfect and have had my own struggles so I can be empathetic. My main ire is the trans which is a cult like mass psychogenic illness. At the heart of it, I don't think homosexual acts are natural as the purpose of life is for humans to procreate. I don't think gay people are born that way anynore but many have been forced to that due to social forces such as not fitting in and finding community within the gay community or to express unfulfilled sexual needs. Prisoners for example show that someone can have sex with men just for the hell of it, because it's the only thing available. The human mind is like plastic. Doesn't make it right. I don't hate nor fear gay people and treat them with kindness as I always have, but I can't turn a blind eye to it anymore and ignore how it warps and shapes society. By the same token I also have to admit that as much I'm against gay marriage, there's nothing I nor others can do as it is legal upon the land and people should be able to deny or accept it depending on their individual religion or lack thereof as we live in a secular nation and have to accept and respect whatever comes from that.
Another criticism is how despite small population size so much of our media focuses on gays and gay issues in order to push it on to society and force acceptance. Inserting it into kids cartoons for example.

What I wrote was well measured and fairly moderate. I'm very sorry that you don't have the emotional or intellectual capacity to accept it.

You pity gay people, what else is new. What is there to respond to? Because you're mentally ill we don't hold you accountable for what you say, but don't mistake the lack of open vitriol with endorsement. Get lost or i'll suck the cock of the next confused young man I see, and i'll force myself to like it, because as we all know that's how sexuality works.

I wish you the best, and get help.

At least I didn’t call you cigarillos you fucking idiots, I’m empathetic :smug
Your experiences of changing your gender, religion, politics, and sexuality as often you change clothes is NOT normal. Lurching from one extreme to another is NOT normal. Ascribing those experiences onto everyone else and assuming they must feel the same as you is asinine. Personally I think you are still miserable because of some deeply ingrained self hatred and you’ll do anything to be anyone but your true self. I don’t know who that true self but the sooner you find it the better off you’ll be.

It isn't? I thought that we are all told to experiment? Isn't that what trans people are doing? Going from one extreme to another? Why are they allowed but I'm not? Aren't the people of your ideology supposed to support experimentation? Or do you not like this because I've come to different conclusions than you? There's many stories of homosexuals that were straight their entire lives but then came out. Is that not going from one extreme to another? What of devout Christians that turn into anti-theist atheists? Yet you presume these people as normal yet I'm not. Changing ones mind is the most human compulsion there is.
Personally I think you are still miserable because of some deeply ingrained self hatred and you’ll do anything to be anyone but your true self.
Yet the people in my life tell me I'm the most confident I've ever been. I've purged my demons, went to therapy about them, and healed. I'm pretty healthy. Do you presume it is not normal to question what you believe, because you are so scared to do so? What evidence that you have that I'm miserable? The self hatred I had died when I accepted myself as a man.

My main disagreement is labeling that as hatred. Believe me, I've hated before and this emotion is nothing remotely similar to that.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/massive-study-finds-no-single-genetic-cause-of-same-sex-sexual-behavior/
Massive Study Finds No Single Genetic Cause of Same-Sex Sexual Behavior
Analysis of half a million people suggests genetics may have a limited contribution to sexual orientation
Few aspects of human biology are as complex—or politically fraught—as sexual orientation. A clear genetic link would suggest that gay people are “born this way,” as opposed to having made a lifestyle choice. Yet some fear that such a finding could be misused “cure” homosexuality, and most research teams have shied away from tackling the topic.
Now, a new study claims to dispel the notion that a single gene or handful of genes make a person prone to same-sex behavior. The analysis, which examined the genomes of nearly half a million men and women, found that although genetics are certainly involved in who people choose to have sex with, there are no specific genetic predictors. Yet some researchers question whether the analysis, which looked at genes associated with sexual activity rather than attraction, can draw any real conclusions about sexual orientation.
and
https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/is-homosexuality-a-choice/
Is Homosexuality a Choice?
Ask this question, and you will probably receive one of two responses:
Yes. People choose to be gay. They are making an immoral choice, which government should discourage.
Or
No. Sexual preference is biologically determined. Government should protect gay people from discrimination because homosexuality is an unalterable aspect of their identity.
These two answers have something in common: With both of them, the science conveniently supports the moral decision.
“Being gay is bad. How wonderful it is that nobody has to be gay!”
“Homosexual behavior should be allowed to take place. Isn’t it fantastic that, by an amazing coincidence, there is no way to stop it?”
What if neither answer is right?
Perhaps sexual preference can be changed – and people have the right to engage in gay sex and have homosexual relationships if they choose to do so. (The fourth option, that gay people have no choice but to be gay, but should be punished for it anyway, is morally unthinkable.)
What does science tell us about sexual preference?

Change is normal, and usually gradual. Gender isn’t usually one of those things that changes, much less 4 times, in a lifetime. Sexuality is another facet of someone’s personality that almost never changes. Politics can definitely change but it tends to be gradual and not going from far left to far right overnight. Your changes were all extreme and since I’ve been on this board, I believe, you’ve gone from a trans woman leftist to a cis straight male conservative who practices islam. If you can’t see how those radical changes over such a short period of time wouldn’t reflect on anyone else but yourself I don’t know what else to say.

I've had Himu on ignore for months, but you all keep in engaging and quoting, and it's just annoying as hell.
Himu needs to work on himself, maybe focus entirely on things he can control, and not be making as single fucking decision for anyone else until his own head is fixed.
Five years ago, even 10 years ago, this was true. During his transition, this was true but I would have used female pronouns. Now we're back to male pronouns being not only desirable, but the changes he enacted have resulted in previously requested handling now being morally offensive.
I've watched tennis games with less back-and-forth.
Generally speaking, if I don't have something nice to say, I try to stay quiet. Himu has been demanding a disproportionate amount of attention and consideration, and I'm fucking done with it. Himu belongs in the exact same pile of nuisance that Glen Shinobi inhabits: somewhere else.

Meeting and getting to know Older Gays was one of the biggest benefits from my 8 years in Boston (mostly met through a gay bowling league). Hearing the stories of discrimination, AIDS and death. I realized that the freedom I have to be myself today is owed to them and many others struggling, mostly in silence, for many decades.
To see this absolutely critical milestone near passage, perhaps the most important in the history of the movement after Obergefell (and may be the most important should Obergefell fall), seriously makes me emotional enough for tears when I stop to really think about it.

Despite the fine print, it is almost unbelievable that less than a generation ago, Republicans and Democrats, along with a Democratic president in the ’90s, worked together to protect the “institution of marriage” from same-sex unions.
Today, it’s Republicans and Democrats, along with a Democratic president, working together to protect same-sex marriage from a government institution.
Currently-active Democratic congresspeople who were elected in the 90s:

Singapore repeals gay sex ban but limits prospect of legalizing same-sex marriage (https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/29/asia/singapore-gay-sex-ban-intl-wellness/index.html)
Singapore’s parliament on Tuesday decriminalized sex between men, but, in a blow to the LGBT community, also amended the constitution to prevent court challenges that in other countries have led to the legalization of same-sex marriage.
The moves come as other parts of Asia, including Taiwan, Thailand and India, are recognizing more rights for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.
Singapore having their Lawrence v. Texas moment is awesome. Any forward progress in Asia is fantastic to see. Hopefully marriage isn't 12 years away for Singapore like it was for the US after gay sex was decriminalized.
“We will try and maintain a balance…to uphold a stable society with traditional, heterosexual family values, but with space for homosexuals to live their lives and contribute to society,” Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam said in parliament this week.
I know the classic liberal thing to do is go "Woe, this shant be considered good enough!" but man, progress is progress. :idont
Like technically the RFMA doesn't fully institute Obergefell -- should Obergefall fall like Roe, states would be able to ban issuing gay marriage certificates again. So RFMA isn't a complete, total win. But it does make the Fed respect same sex marriages in any state, and for states to recognize the same. And honestly at this point if Kenfucky or whatever state wants to say "NO GAYS ALLOWED" but the worst they can do is refuse to certify marriages, sure, why not, I suppose that's their right as a state. But my rights as an American to get married and have that marriage recognized anywhere in the nation is a massive win, too.
-
I probably would not characterize that as "a blow to the LGBT community" as CNN did considering the alternative was more likely to be continuing to arrest and imprison gay men. This is a country that will still prosecute you for using drugs in another country as part of their zero tolerance towards certain substances policy.

Proud of my country. :american Today, we take another definitive step away from the horrific, backwards attitudes of countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, China and Russia. Today, freedom wins over oppression.
Today, Americans say "this is who we are." It's time to stand together against the repressive and increasingly-hollow "family first" rhetoric being pushed abroad and here at home.
Do we want to be more like Saudi Arabia or more like the EU? I'm glad we chose to be more like those in the EU.

From abroad, the articles I'm seeing make it feel less about anti-gay or anti-lesbian and pretty specifically about turning Trans individuals into bogeymen. Bogeypeople. Whatever. It's anti-trans.

While I don't disagree with the thrust of this based on attention elsewhere, the groomer panic has been obvious enough to see, that's a really shitty report. You can't see the data at all and according to their explanation it even includes flyers as one of these potential "incidents" or any kind of protest anywhere. Reminds me of that "anti-Asian violence" report where thousands of the "incidents" were shitty tweets. Also the group notes (though none of the journalist articles using the report), as they should because it's really important in data analysis, that weirdly the number of involved groups dropped to a third even as the incidents doubled. (Because of their criteria I think there's a general ignoring of 2022 being an election year, their incidents graph peaks with the election.)
I'd even suggest that if you look at their overall graph of the "most active groups" (not just anti-LGBT, they don't seem to have one for that) you might be able to pick out the specific culprits of most of these incidents, especially if you know anything about how they latched onto the groomer panic:

No, they're specifically upset about drag queens reading to kids. All the bills are trying to either ban that or have it defined as adult oriented. There's a few where you can see they started off trying to do that, said fuck it this is too hard to figure out and just classified drag as adult oriented in general. Legislators are not smart people and rarely understand any topic let alone the ones they want to legislate about, it's pretty much part of their job description.

OK ban drag programs in libraries I guess but the wording of the article makes it seems like it's applying to all drag shows generally, and those in my experience are 18+ affairs... to me it's like trying to specifically ban D&D when you're mad at Satanists or whatever.

Well, I mean, it's stupid anyway but the actual target is even stupider as the top picture of that article displays the "threat" we're talking about.

Kids usually hate those show and tell things anyway. I know I did even when in those days it was still just about traffic or the local library pedo presenting some dumb book, I just wanted it to be over so I could go home to my LEGO and video games.
I can't imagine kids today getting very excited about drawing gender unicorns and pole dancing when they have Fortnite and Roblox at home.
It's kinda like clowns, no one likes actual clowns.

No way, a kid goes to a drag queen story hour and the first thing they do when they get home is start looking up gay sex on the internet. And once you've seen porn you're corrupted forever.
