Yes, that sounds like a feature. People who work against gay rights will not be able to work. This is a good thing IMO.

  Until the next cause célèbre comes along... Keep in mind a traditional view of marriage has existed for a long time, and many good people have held that traditional view.

    Very few people believe in the traditional view of marriage for life where the woman is legally not allowed to own property.

  What would you think if it was instead popular to segregate women or race? Their favour for religiously harsh revenge-justice for insignificant crimes? Just a con to majority is right mentality. Not justifying Eich or discrimination but it could work against us if it becomes law in a world that is obsessed with exploiting/exposing private matters.

  In 30 years you will go from a free thinking liberal to a reactionary dinosaur without changing a single opinion. When you find yourself out of step with "the kids", remember this.

    Unless you hold more general opinions about "always being progressive". The left of 1950 are still just as left in 2014.

      I doubt it. Marxists are Marxists, but I wonder how many of them were into gay marriage etc, in the 1950s.

        So the only way for a position to be correct is for it to have been widely seen as right and important by a large group for a long time? Obviously the number of people interested in gay rights was smaller in the fifties than it is now. Are you one of those moldbugian jackhats? This kind of simplistic thinking smacks of their pseudo-intellectualizing...
        • gaius 12y ago
          Correct IS "widely seen as right by a large group". People in the 1950s were not evil or stupid, they were much as people are now: well-meaning and sincere in their beliefs. Their correct is not our correct, but in context, it's not "worse" than ours. If you'd been an adult then, you'd have beliefs in tune with the zeitgeist too.

            You are assuming that your views wouldn't change over time. Ideas aren't static. You said that one would end up being reactionary over time when the new ideas disagree with your own...but that assumes that yours wouldn't change...
  • notblahbl4hblah 12y ago
    You are assuming that the positions held by the left are held solely to undermine status quo...some parts of the status quo aren't discriminatory. Do you really think that's what progressivism is?
    • gaius 12y ago
      A conservative believes things are good because they are old. A progressive believes things are good because they are new. Neither is correct.
      • notblahbl4hblah 12y ago
        That's a cliché and a bad one at that. Progressives don't see value only in "new-ness"...that's just plain stupid.

  > People who work against gay rights will not be able to work. This is a good thing IMO. No, it is not. People who work against gay rights should not be in a position to decide who gets to work and who does not. That is a good thing. But people who work against gay rights should be given a platform, and should then be shown publicly how ridiculous their position is in order to educate them and whoever was listening. Bigotry is best dealt with by education, not by shunning.
