Well, no - the proper response to that is not whining but saying:
"Since in hell are probably also Freddie Mercury, Voltaire and Oscar Wilde (and probably Mark Twain) - do I strictly have to be gay to go there or are there other ways I could take" and enjoy the show.
There is no greater weapon against powerful people that take themselves seriously than mocking them and their beliefs.
- JustSomeNobody 11y agoWhy would you be at that university if you plan on mocking their beliefs?
- venomsnake 11y agoTheir school cafeteria may be great. I am also not mocking their beliefs, but the beliefs of a single person with authority. Generally speaking people need more mocking in their lives. For a long time the only people that could speak truth to power were the jesters. No matter if the power is the pope that could condemn to eternal afterlife in hell or a BreitBart/Jezebel writer that could unleash an internet pitchfork mob on you - you are obligated to take them down a notch whenever you can. Jokes are most efficient.
