@TheRabbitHole Yeah, back when people were being arrested for being gay.

@brxfastsolstice The Golden and Platinum Rules

@welldoneson @philosopherkang @RandomHvacGuy The fact that white people were allowed to own property in the good part of town and non-white people were not allowed to until 1968 is an example of oppression.

Especially since many of those non-white people are more native to America than white people.

@Alinavisoootime I think you should consider the possibility that Jesus is dead too.

@AiG Anyone who believes this will find it hard to have an academic career in world history or biology. Or, if they're able to validate this, they will have the most prolific career of all time.

@needGod_net Why do you think humans deserved (past tense, right?) to die like Jesus died?

@SFT_Ministries @The_Pilgrim67 @anchoredso37497 Today I learned.

This is still only the Deist position though.

Let me know if he ever says Jesus is God.

@GodlyAction I honestly don't mind *hearing* those things, even if I disagree with them.

I don't want to hear are calls for banning gay marriage again, which is a real infringement on civil rights come exclusively from the religious right.

@welldoneson @philosopherkang @RandomHvacGuy I recently bought a house that was built in the 1950s, in a very nice part of town.

In the original title, it says that this house is not allowed to be owned by colored people.

So when my grandfather moved to the U.S., he wouldn't have been allowed to buy it.

@PatsKam I respect this. I usually call myself an atheist, but when I held my newborn nephew and was overcome with the love I have for my family, I can tell that it's rooted in something divine.

But it's also clear to me that none of the religions are true.

@FamilyProjectTX In Texas, it will illegal to even have gay sex until 2003.

[bluenose @_____case]

@welldoneson @philosopherkang @RandomHvacGuy In what way does allowing gay marriage oppress you?

[bluenose @_____case]

@Joseph_Spurgeon It was illegal to have gay sex in a third of the U.S. until 2003.

[bluenose @_____case]

@NintendoSteve @darwintojesus Then you're being pedantic. The point is that gay couples were denied the same rights as straight couples.

[bluenose @_____case]

@NintendoSteve @darwintojesus Anti-sodomy laws qualify as oppression.

Gay marriage existed in 19 states prior to 2015, but 31 states had bans. Same sex couples in those tried to get marriage licenses and they were denied the right to do so.

That obviously also qualifies as oppression.

@rank_deficient @beffjezos @BernieSanders @AOC That's what these residents are pushing for, in many cases. But as I'm sure you know, political negotiating usually requires taking a stronger more extreme stance and then find compromises.

Even if people are stupid, err on the side of the average person over corporations.

@NintendoSteve @darwintojesus In 1998, police arrested John Lawrence and Tyron Garner in Houston, Texas.

As late as 2013, the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office in Louisiana used the state's invalidated "Crime Against Nature" law to arrest multiple gay men.

You've been lied to.
