It is vilifying. Two disease-free, non-promiscuous gay men are not engaged in dangerous behavior.
It would be valid to say that gay male promiscuity is more dangerous than heterosexual promiscuity if it includes anal sex…but you’re going beyond that.
Actually straight men have become a target for some on the left; that was discussed in an earlier thread:
In Britain the Labour Party recently banned straight men from an “equalities” conference:
In the case of the two women who were attacked in London, the assumption is that that they were attacked because they were lesbian. The original twitter posting and the comments from the mayor of London called it a “misogynist attack”, which means that they were attacked because they were women. That actually makes more sense; how would the attackers know that that the women were really lesbians?
The two women were both foreigners; one is American the other is from Latin America. Is this a xenophobic attack?
On the other hand, there has been no information on the attackers other than they were males between the ages of 15 and 18; they could be of any ethnic background. The women both have fair complexions; were they attacked because they were white?
The media guy was an idiot and should be called out as such- he was an anti-Trumper who obviously let his emotions get the better of him.
The conference was to elect members of those groups to the Young Labor Committee- all other such positions are voted for online- a method that can’t be used to elect members from these groups because not enough demographic info is available, from what the story said. Hardly an example of discrimination against whites.
But as a straight white male, I feel your pain, brother. We are so put upon nowadays.
Sigh…people have GOT to stop equating a slightly lessened amount of influence as other groups gain power as persecution.
It’s like American Christians complaining they’re being systematically persecuted because they supposedly can’t say “Merry Christmas”.
Some of these folks wouldn’t last a second in countries where they really ARE persecuted.
Insecure Straight people can parade all that they want.
What will happen is that they will be called out on their stupidity that they are in any way persecuted by the “system” or culture at large.
They will be rightfully called out for being trolls.
Here is an explanation of what “Gay Pride” means from someone who understands it way more than either of us.
LGBT pride does not mean being proud of having been born lesbian, gay, bisexual, or trans.
It means being proud of having survived.
It means being proud of living in a homophobic, biphobic, transphobic society — a society that commonly treats us with contempt at best and violent hatred at worst — and still getting on with our lives. It means being proud of flourishing, in a society that commonly thinks we’re broken. It means being proud of being happy, in a society that commonly thinks we should be miserable. It means being proud of being good and compassionate, in a society that commonly thinks we’re wicked. It means being proud of fighting for our rights and the rights of others like us, in a society that commonly thinks we should lie down and let ourselves get walked on — or that thinks we should be grateful for crumbs and not ask for more. It means being proud of retaining our dignity, in a society that commonly treats us as laughing-stocks. It means being proud of loving our sexuality and our bodies, in a society that commonly thinks our sexuality and our bodies are disgusting. It means being proud of staying alive, in a society that commonly beats us down and wants us dead.
The Russian law has been used to brand any type of public displays of affection amongst gay people as an example of “indoctrinating young children”.
And you still haven’t told us what “leaving the interpretation of what these types of ‘child protection’ laws to the parents of children would look like”.
