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.. |

I'm not entirely certain, as that would eliminate nearly all of BEP's posts from being labeled as trolling.

Probably because when I used it, I wasn't using it to denote bad in the sense of morality. I was using it to denote "incorrect" or "faulty."

Do you agree that there are people who find homosexuality generally unpleasant? If so, do you understand that they might find a shirt which states "gay pride" with the rainbow offensive to their beliefs?

If I see someone wearing a Denver Bronco's shirt, I am not offended by that person's pride in being a Denver Broncos fan. Now, if that person was wearing a shirt with a Broncos logo on the front and "Chiefs Suck" on the back, as a Chiefs fan I would be mildly offended. See the difference? |

That person would be offended (and perhaps disgusted) at the "gay" part, not the pride part. Well, maybe both, but mostly the "you are homosexual and that is icky." As to your Broncos analogy, the above is probably true as well. You see the Broncos logo and feel slightly sick to your stomach, right?

Tried that. I think it was ignored. Then again, I've had three espressos in the last hour and I feel a bit funny.

Wearing a message saying something is wrong is different/worse than wearing a message supporting something. Do you get that you ****ing moron? Your question about why was a kid suspended for wearing a shirt that says "being gay ain't right" and someone wearing a shirt supporting the gay lifestyle/rights isn't was ****ing stupid. You'll notice the word pride wasn't used in this post once you gap-toothed immigrant. How's that for offensive? |

And, now multiple times, I do understand the differences. I just don't agree with you that they are that vastly different. One kid objected (not openly) to a math teacher promoting homosexuality and was punished for it. In response to that, I asked if a kid has ever been punished for wearing a "gay pride" shirt, which many people find offensive. I understand that you don't agree that that is offensive, but the fact remains. As to you offending me, I assure you that I'm pretty immune to being offended. Now, would you have any issues with kid wearing a "straight pride" shirt?
