It's interesting that you refer to the Bible "you will know them by their fruits" meaning it is reasonable to judge people by what they do. Isn't that what we do when we oppose queer rights? You think it's OK to punish Eich for what he does. Bottom line is you justify your actions whenever you think you're right on an issue so what makes you think you're above someone who opposes queer rights.
- Amillennialist 13y agoYes. "The only moral judgments that are acceptable are the ones we agree with." So much for "tolerance." Instead of attempting to demonize into silence those whose opinions they dislike, homosexual fascists ought to argue the merits of their position. They can't, so they don't.
- wpietri 13y agoI guess the same thing that makes me think I'm above people who are opposed to civil rights for black people, or any other group facing groundless prejudice. Honestly, I don't think I'm above anybody in that sense. We all believe stupid shit, and sometimes that makes us do bad things. As I said, my problem isn't with Eich's action; a lot of people were on the wrong side of that issue. But until he has recognized that stripping a civil right from gay people was harmful and wrong, and until he says that he won't be trying to treat gay people as second-class citizens, then I think it's reasonable to ask whether he should have a position of power over the people he's helped oppress.
