"Suspected homosexuals" and proven hypocrites who hurt LGBT people with their rhetoric and actions are two vastly different things. Precision is important.

"Suspected homosexuals" and proven hypocrites who hurt LGBT people with their rhetoric and actions are two vastly different things. Precision is important.
- throwawaylinux 4y agoNo, it is the very same thing in the case of this list. Precision is important. Protesting that one's cause is noble would be missing the point of the quote entirely. Everybody who has ever made lists thought they were doing it for a worthy cause.
- PartiallyTyped 4y agoThey are not suspected to, they have been caught in consensual acts, they were caught red handed to be hypocrites. A gay person isn't a hypocrite for being gay, a gay person condemning and harming other gay people is a hypocrite.
- throwawaylinux 4y agoAnd I suppose those who harm gay people by bullying them and publicly shaming them deserve everything that's coming to them, especially if they're doing from a hypocritical and misguided delusion of righteousness... Again missing the point. It isn't a challenge to defend oneself, it's an invitation to reflect. Less talking, more thinking.

- PartiallyTyped 4y agoAgain completely missing the point, nobody is bullying them because they are gay, nor are they being bullied. They are facing the consequences of purposefully breaking the social contract by harming LGBT people.
- throwawaylinux 4y ago> Again completely missing the point, nobody is bullying them because they are gay, nor are they being bullied. That's not what the list says.
- PartiallyTyped 4y agoso why aren’t my gay friends on that list? After all, if they are being bullied because they are gay, all gay people should be listed on there.
- throwawaylinux 4y agoPresumably because their behavior does not breach what the list maker deems acceptable. > After all, if they are being bullied because they are gay, all gay people should be listed on there. I don't know what you mean. That's not a gotcha.
- PartiallyTyped 4y ago> Presumably because their behavior does not breach what the list maker deems acceptable. So it’s not because they are gay, it’s their behaviour. I am glad we finally agreed though I am sad we had to spend as many steps to reach this conclusion.

- anigbrowl 4y agoYour point is misdirection.
- throwawaylinux 4y agoWhat do you think my point is, and what is it "misdirecting" from?
