What is bigotry? Read this thread:12 Hours from Conservatives losing their mind -- Pride Month
In your book, "bigotry" is when you don't want to paint the crosswalks at your factory in rainbow colors to "celebrate" the sexually deviant lifestyle choices of others. It is not enough to say that people have a legal right to act immorally, instead you call anyone who does not sing the praises of the LBGTQ+ movement a bigot. That "plus" on the end inevitably will include "minor attracted persons" and your ilk will be making excuses for it.
"Bigotry" in your book is also thinking that mentally ill kids deserve mental health treatment that reflects their physical reality rather than their psychological delusions. You have gone so far off the deep end that you think we should believe, or at least pretend, that a biological man, by virtue of having his ***** removed and getting a bunch of hormone shots, is actually a woman or that if we whack of a woman's breasts and pump her full of testosterone she is now a man. However, that isn't how reality works.
Throwing out the "bigotry" label when it does not apply, as you do, is a worthless ad hominem attack.
This is a fantastic post. Using inaccurate, divisive labels like "hate," "extreme," and "bigotry" only makes healthy conversations difficult and promotes divisiveness and disrespect. It harkens to the root cause, which is the lack of self-awareness by many regressives - in their mind "divisive" also means "anything I disagree with." Calling a conservative black man an "Uncle Tom" is a sign of unity, and calling someone who opposes butchering children a "bigot" also is a sign of unity. The reason the regressives only have ad hominem attacks is because at the core they know their positions are illogical and indefensible.
The broader theme and tension we are having as a country and culture is at the root of all of these debates and disagreements:
1. Are we going to work toward a unified, national identity where we seek to find and celebrate things that make us united as Americans and prioritize and celebrate those common traits
2. Or are we going to work toward a divided, group identities where we seek to find and celebrate things that make us different and prioritize and celebrate those different traits Strawman premise with no discernable facts especially "prioritizing"
That's the core tension between conservatives seeking unity and commonality and regressives seeking division and differences. Again not regressive. Make America Great Again is literally regression which harkens back to a time of fantasy when life was good.
"Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) encompasses the interconnectivity relationship, philosophy and culture of acknowledging, embracing, supporting, and accepting those of all racial, sexual, gender, religious and socioeconomic backgrounds, among other differentiators." Lisa Dunn
Surely you something more in the way response beside a ad hominin attack?
All you make is ad hominem attacks. Whenever you are asked a specific question, 99% of the time you tuck and run and refuse to answer.
Take your comments above: Gay month is literally about calling out and celebrating differences. You claim "no discernable facts" while the facts are prancing in front of you in drag.
This columnist said it well."For my part, I wish Pride would go away.
We've won equality. Why should gays continue to be singled out, even for the purpose of being celebrated?
And for what are we being celebrated, anyway?
I don't expect to be applauded for being left-handed. Being gay is an attribute, not an accomplishment."
And BUT TRUMP is just an immature, lazy argument. So you do not want America to be great. Congratulations. I for one would celebrate a return to the time when:
- America had a strong manufacturing base with a healthly blue collar middle class that built things
- When crime and homelessness were not overrunning American cities
- When we acknowledged our differences and celebrated our common experience rather than obsess over our differences and celebrate our "diversity"
- When a small, Elite billionaire class did not constantly disinform the masses and enrich themselves at the expense of the working classes
But hey, I get it - you love Panem.
And not sure what that last stupid quote is. DEI is just a grift. The reason anyone can see it is a grift is because the places that most aggressively promote the divisivness of DEI are those placs that ostensibliy already are accepting. So if they are already accepting of diversity there is no reason to hire a bunch of DEI Kommisars, but of course they do because the regressive division is the point.
