@jtrocksforever@EulasHusbando@MaximanSuper@ArculonXavier@keithedwards How is it acceptable to make gay people wait longer to get married? Do you not know that leaving it up to the states could years or even decades? Not to mention those red states would've taken a century. How is that fair for gay people today? Use your brain. Have some empathy.
@jtrocksforever@EulasHusbando@MaximanSuper@ArculonXavier@keithedwards He says all that, and yet he wants to take away marriage from gay people just because it wasn't legalized the way he wants it to. Which is homophobic. Point. Blank. Period. He says, "leave it up to the states". NO.
@Dothereading@AdamantCrimson@SydneyLWatson Meanwhile straight people can commit horrible acts, and yet you're never suspicious of those who identify as straight. Hypocrisy. Double standards.
@purplepain_ @givdoll Homophobia is the product of centuries of religious persecution and decades of well-funded, right-wing political organizing and scapegoating. Not because jimmysoldout wore an outfit you didn’t like to the Zara Larsson concert.
@TheWhiteBruce @peachyvale@MaximanSuper@tedfrank@Steve_Sailer@StatisticUrban You’re reframing criticism of culture as an accusation of hatred, which is not the same thing. Pointing out structural pressure or discouragement is not calling people evil or violent. It’s describing how norms work.
@TheWhiteBruce @peachyvale@MaximanSuper@tedfrank@Steve_Sailer@StatisticUrban Bringing up NBA and NFL weakens your argument. Those leagues also have almost no openly gay active players, despite huge rosters and massive visibility. That pattern across multiple contact sports suggests a shared cultural barrier, not some coincidence about sexual orientation.
@TheWhiteBruce @peachyvale@MaximanSuper@tedfrank@Steve_Sailer@StatisticUrban You keep demanding “proof” as if discrimination only counts when it is explicit or punished publicly. That is not how social pressure operates, especially in elite sports where fitting in matters.
I urge you to educate yourself about gay athletes and why they're closeted.

@TheWhiteBruce @peachyvale@MaximanSuper@tedfrank@Steve_Sailer@StatisticUrban Saying “there are basically zero gay people in contact sports” is statistically implausible. The more reasonable explanation is many don't feel safe being open while active. Disagree if you want, but dismissing that as unintelligent avoids the substance instead of engaging it.
