flame,
Of course it’s a flame. When people condemn someone for an immutable characteristic, they tend to get flamed. What’s wrong with flaming something that is terrible?
Can’t tell if joking.
No, I’m not. I don’t think that certain opinions are worthy of respect, and those views should be attacked with vitriol.
I think that most people’s religions are repugnant and immoral, but you don’t see me out and about preaching that they’re morally bankrupt and hellbound and bane of the country. You don’t see me out discriminating against people. Why can’t they abstain from that shit too? Whenever someone’s religion starts affecting innocent people, then it’s the religious person that needs to change. Society and everyone in it shouldn’t have to regress in order to wait for all these fundamentalists to catch up with the Civil Rights Act.
Well as I said before, it’s because people disagree. People hold fundamentally different views than you and are equally convinced that they are right.
Of course. I know that, I’m saying that I do not care one little tiny bit about religious people’s “right” to discriminate. The right to discriminate and refuse service to people because of immutable characteristics is not a right that I value.
Do you think private adoptions should be unlawful? Do you think parents shouldn’t be able to discriminate in who they give their baby to?
Parents can do whatever they want, but a third-party private adoption service can’t discriminate based on arbitrary characteristics if they have state contracts.
Then those religious organizations may opt to not be involved in adoptions. I don’t know enough about the landscape of the foster system and adoption but I gather it’s not in a great place as it is.
It’s horrible, and keeping kids in that system in order to wait for parents that are less gay to adopt them is repugnant.
