Ellen Page is gay
Well, that's interesting.
http://gawker.com/ellen-page-comes-o...ium=socialflow Actress Ellen Page publicly came out as gay Friday evening, while giving a speech at Time to THRIVE, a national LGBTQ youth conference held in Las Vegas. "I'm here today because I am gay," Page told the assembled crowd, which responded with a standing ovation and a long chorus of cheers. "Whoo!" said Page, before continuing: Quote:
After her speech, the Human Rights Campaign, which organized the conference, congratulated Page on the front page of its website for "her brave decision to live openly and authentically." Last edited by Hammock Parties; 02-15-2014 at 01:09 AM.. |

One isn't based based on "bad wiring."

Probably. And they'd be wrong.

That said. There is not a millisecond of a black person's life, absent substantial pancake makeup, that they will not be black. No matter how educated, restrained in behavior, method in acting style, heck they could be sleeping in the Queen of England's bed. That is an immutable law of physics and it's subset optics. Their skin reflects light at a given frequency, and we have attached baggage to that reflection. OTOH, no matter how immutable one's desires are, expression of them is an act. And for many, observation of that act triggers a primal reaction, . . . lets be polite and term it 'douche chills.' Your grandma might have hypothesized that a goose walked over your future grave at that moment. On subsequent reasoned reflection, you might realize that 'oh, that was my lizard brain saying HEY! THEY AREN'T DOING THAT TO FURTHER THE SPECIES!.' You might feel all sorts of appropriate shame for allowing said lizard brain primacy in the moment. But in that moment, that was your mind telling you how evolution wants you to react. FTR - and I've said before, to the extent I personally have that reaction, it's not all that different from my reaction to seeing Roseanne Barr and a fat mulleted Tom Arnold smooching.

What kind of disapproval? Are you talking about disapproval of people who are attracted to the same sex but who don't act on it or talk about it or are you talking about people who act on or talk about their attraction?

I just don't see how it's any different to disapprove of someone being homosexual and disapproving of someone being a racial minority. It's escaping me. |

No, it can't. Just because you wish it were so, doesn't make it so.

My answer was basically the same as Baby Lee's so I'll let you two sort it out.

I'll just assume that you are directing that towards someone who does those things and cede the floor.
