How is forcing people to take up a different political view to buy bread better than forcing them to change their sexual preferences to buy bread? That whole protected group thing is completely nuts.
- tchalla 9y agoI just explained how it is different. Political ideology is a choice; sexual orientation is not.
- elcapitan 9y agoSo you voluntarily choose to see the world completely differently, just so that you can buy bread? How is that a choice? It's force. And some people choose different sexual orientations in their life, so how is it not a choice? In both cases the discrimination would just force me to pretend to be something other than I am.
- denzil_correa 9y agoI don't think you still understand. Political choices can change, sexual orientation/race/color of skin doesn't.
- elcapitan 9y agoI understand that this is your dogma, yes. And I understand that you want to legitimize the things you want to force on people. I don't disagree about color, but the way how you can or cannot force people to avoid visibly and openly living their political identity OR their sexual identity is exactly the same, as it is for religion. It's always outside force, forcing you to pretend to be other than you really are.
- frubar 9y agoThis is what a lot of people want to believe but orientation seems to depend more on culture than genes (e.g. Ancient Greece, US Prisons, etc.).
