Telling gay people that they’re “morally unacceptable” is a textbook example of hate.
But sure, as long as she claims she has no problem with gay people, she’s probably a wonderful and misunderstood person.
- deith 7y agoThe best part of the Republic of Weimar, second only to its demise, was the infighting. Now that we get to see it on Internet forums, I can only be happy to live in this age.
- loons2 7y agoIf I inform death penalty advocates that their position is "morally unacceptable," is that also a textbook example of hate?
- ebg13 7y agoThere is a subtle (maybe) but important difference that you're eliding. A gay person advocates to be allowed to live their life with exactly as many rights as others, not for you to become gay. Saying that it's morally unacceptable to have equal rights is not the same as saying that it's morally unacceptable to kill someone.
- ZeroGravitas 7y agoThe problem with this kind of comment on a tech focused forum is that you can never tell if the person saying it is truly oblivious to context, or if they just think they can win a pedantic argument by pretending they are. Yes, if you campaign to stop death penalty advocates from marrying or adopting children, because you accuse them all of being pedophile rapists that are destroying society and you knew that people were regularly killed for having that belief then your attack on them as being "morally unacceptable" would be textbook hate too.
