I always find it humorous when this kind of stuff happens

These dudes really so afraid of themselves they'll ban it. Accept yourself. Stop forcing everyone to hide the fact that you are gay.

You really gotta hate how often these anti-gay assholes are just so afraid of their own sexuality that they're punishing others for it as well.

Every accusation is a confession.

Outrage (2009)

They fight against same-sex marriage, AIDS research and adoption by gay parents. But are they fighting themselves? This eye-opening film explores the disturbing phenomenon of allegedly closeted gay politicians who vote down pro-gay legislation--and get a free pass from the media.

This old documentary still holds up.

I guess if your attacking people it keeps you from looking inward and dealing with yourself... can't run away from yourself, many have tried, all have failed... its not just sexual orientation for me instead of attacking others I was an addict and running away from my emotions and trauma both self inflicted and stuff outside of my control... its the same thing deep down in my opinion and I wish there was an easy way to break through to people that it doesn't have to be that way we can become complete people and recognize our flaws and our beauty... if he doesn't want to live the way he obviously is sexually predisposed that's his choice but living a healthy life recognizing what's within and putting it out there with no more secrets would help this lost soul greatly... compartmentalized life is a path to destruction for you or those around you

When they make being gay against the law, things are going to get really fucking awkward…

Shove him back in the closet, we don't want him

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
