[Saltwater60]

It’s about time we see conservatives suing people. I hope they win!!

Kroger sued for allegedly firing workers who refused to wear rainbow symbol

The suit says the ex-employees hold a "religious belief that homosexuality is a sin" and accuses the supermarket chain of religious discrimination.

You shouldn't be forced to wear anythjng but a fucking name tag.

 

[Justincase]

I wouldn't wear it and I have no problem with homosexuality.

I get a standard uniform so people can OF you for help as well but to wear something to support people that’s crappy. If others want to wear it and support that group that’s fine.

 

[Saltwater60]

I wouldn't wear it and I have no problem with homosexuality.

I dont really care what people do on their own time or in their own bedroom my problem with it is they push it on me as being normal, genetic, and progressive or the next evolution. They have made it so popular now that every kid thinks they are gay. My son says nearly everyone at scholl now says they are gay, bi, or transgendered when only a few were when I went to school 20 years ago. There no way that many kids were gay when I was in school. I also have a problem with how they justified gay marriage as I think it opens the door for other devious things like marrying little kids.

I totally agree. Do whatever you want, but don't shove it down my throat. You do your thing, I'll do mine. And you're 100% correct about gayness being the next cool thing. They're like celebrities in school sometimes. When someone comes out a bunch of them follow suit. I've had more students change genders in the last two years than I've had in the previous 15 years combined. I do however believe that it's definitely genetic in many people. You can see it at a very early age. My ex girlfriends sister was gay and you could see that coming before she even did.

You can bang any consenting adult you want. Hell, do it in jello.


But I'm not going to celebrate pride for you.

One time at work all of these girls got together to do something for breast cancer awareness. If I remember right, I contributed with a donation or whatever it was, but then they wanted me to wear a pink ribbon. I politely declined. I remember having all these girls making a big deal about it and going out of their way to come to my office to give me shit about it. I held strong and never put one on. They even came to me telling how ___________ died of cancer. As if me wearing a ribbon would cure others of cancer. Get outta here!

When you tell kids that straight white men are the root of all evil in the world, is it any wonder that they start to "identify as" something else ?

If you were in school in that environment you'd probably claim to be bi too, just so you weren’t called an evil "heterosexual white male".

 

[GOPerfect]

I would not wear the stupid looking ribbon either, I would also not support that stupid LGBTQ3p group.

Fuck the ribbons.

Holy shit this is exactly what I've told my kids. And I've noticed it, too, locally. Teenagers now broadly have no fucking sense about themselves at all. They are being flooded with endless kinds of "progressive" views on everything. Until we finally said enough of this shit and put one of them in a private school her last public school had a number of so-called transgender kids. I don't believe it for a second: Those kids weren't trans. They were like every teen in history: lost/looking for attention. But what used to be goth as an outlet, now they are pretending they are a boy instead of a girl, or normalizing homosexuality well beyond any reasonable, real manifestation of it to the point where obviously straight kids are now assuming they are bi.

Society is not open to homosexuality in a "supportive" way, but rather is pushing it. Pretty much every series on netflix has a token gay character. it's completely mainstream and wildly over-represented. When in reality about 1/50 people are gay, on tv I'd say it's closer to 1/10 if not more.

I’ll play and agree it maybe genetic in a few small cases but not at the level of the kids that are gay now. I’m talking very small percentages. Also I’m sure there are many guys that look feminine that are not gay. You meet guys with high voices or girl with deep voices that aren’t gay. My sons teacher now has a really deep voice. She’s kind of hot and just had a baby with her husband. I’d say she’s not gay but I’m not 100% sure of course.

 

[Criticalt]

This is exactly why I hate these groups "stealing" common symbols for their group.
How did we allow them to steal the fucking rainbow?
Im sure its what it looks like but maybe Kroger just wanted to use a rainbow because they a pretty and represent freshness like after a cool rain.
Fucking nope!!! The gays took the rainbow away for all time.
Tell me you look at a rainbow and dont thing "gay"?

Reminds me of this, LOL.

Totally agree. I am absolutely positive a number of entirely straight kids are saying they are bi or "not sure" or whatever because they see it everywhere. They lack an identity, like many teens, or feel it makes them cool. And in some cases probably just to challenge their parents and test them as well. I've told my kids if you're legitimately, truly gay it is what it is. Who can argue with it if it's actually, genuinely true? But don't bullshit me and don't bullshit yourself about it.

 

[Grimscale]

This is not going to be a popular statement:

Saying it is genetic is a cop out. It's somehow supposed to justify behavior that goes against perpetuation of the species.
And make no mistake, once you get past the Valentine's Day shit, marriage, etc., the sole purpose of "gender" and "attraction" is to mate and reproduce. (kinda takes the glamour out of it, doesn't it!)
You may be Bill Gates rich, but if you haven't created offspring you are a genetic failure (whether by choice or 'other').

What they claim as natural is really a natural genetic anomaly that occurs when a population is so over-reproducing it threatens survival of the whole species. What they celebrate and encourage is actually nature's attempt at reducing the population.

Now, here's where it gets REALLY offensive:
If you claim you were "born a woman in a man's body" what you are doing is loudly proclaiming to the world that you have a mental defect. When you go and have cosmetic surgery (and yes, it is ONLY cosmetic...you are still a man, just without the man-bits) to turn you into some facsimile of the female form you are really just submitting yourself to self-mutilation.
Normally, when someone tries self-mutilation, we get them counseling. Now we are expected to not only support it, but to announce to the world how "right" it is.

sorry. I guess my environmental training was too strong.

Now, I can accept if two CONSENTING ADULTS want to have a relationship. Hell, I don't even care if they want to get "married" (which is a man-made creation designed to assist in child-rearing, but also designed to subjugate people into specific religions). Just don't go throwing it into my face at every turn.
(Ever notice how pretty much EVERY T.V. show nowadays has to have not one, but MANY homosexual relationships?)

When people try to argue that allowing homosexual marriage will somehow lead to marrying children they conveniently forget about the whole "CONSENTING ADULT" thing. Children cannot consent, legally. No matter how "mature" they look or act.

Ultimately, humanity is going to have to make a VERY hard decision. One that Nations like China and Japan have already had to face.
Self limit your population or risk having the whole of our species fail.

 

[Justincase]

You guys are 100% spot on about most of them now doing it cuz they're either confused, attention seeking, or just not all there. Hell, its likely all three at times. Two of them I have now are only the other gender at school, but not at home. What in the holy hell is that? And the requirement that so many people on tv should be gay. F that. Why does a gay person need to be represented all the time? So what, now every show must have a gay, straight, black, white, asian, Indian, east Indian, aboriginal... See where I'm going with this? And have you guys noticed that nearly every tv commerical has an interracial couple in it?

This so much. And I've noticed about half of people in advertisements are black, even though they are only 1/6 the population. And they greatly outnumber hispanics in advertising despite being a lower percentage of the population.

Any time we start a new series on netflix I irritate my family by wondering aloud how long until we're introduced to the gay character. And of course there always is one.

 

[Catskillkid]

And have you guys noticed that nearly every tv commerical has an interracial couple in it?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. It's pervasive in advertising everywhere. And notice how it's almost always a white girl with a black guy or a white guy with an Asian or sometimes Hispanic looking girl.

Not only that but every sitcom on tv is like this, or is a gay couple, or hispanic family etc...

Jury Awards $240,000 to Muslim Truck Drivers In EEOC Religious Discrimination Suit

A federal jury in Peoria, Ill., has awarded $240,000 to two Somalian-American Muslims who were fired from their jobs as truck drivers at Star Transport, an over-the-road trucking company, when they refused to transport alcohol because it violated their religious beliefs, according to the U.S...

yes but what are we doing to them allowing this to happen? How demeaning would it be to get fucked in the ass if you weren’t gay because it’s cool? How good is it for you if your colon is hanging out your ass by the time your 35? I think this is more harmful than the old way.

You are 100% correct and I wholeheartedly agree with you. Look at how they justified being gay, bu and trans now look at the path pedophilia is taking. It’s the exact same trajectory. In 15 years we will be saying how did we allow pedophilia to become legal. Well we did it by allowing all this to happen. Right now they are saying pedophilia isn’t a mental defect and they can’t help it. There’s next to no punishment for it or rape anymore. Get ready for it.
As for being a failure for not reproducing I agree with you but failing looks pretty good. I have kids and at times I’m sorry I did. I love them and they are great but I feel like an asshole for brining them into this screwed up world.
