Agreed. Leave us alone. You don’t see us in here talking about other illnesses. Quit forcing yourselves on the rest of us, and wouldn’t even be talking about it

I didn't bring up the topic. I'm a straight white male, the most hated creature of all. I haven't forced myself on anyone, but I would caution you to take your own advice.

The same could easily be said of your post, my friend. You DO NOT have to accept it as "normal", but you DO have to accept they have the right to do it, and the right to live their lives, and the right NOT to be discriminated against. Is the fact you're not supposed to discriminate what you call "accepting it as normal"? That's just a basic human right. You can still disagree with it yet not discriminate.

Eventually though somebody's rights are going to get trampled. Like the baker in CO or the Florist in Oregon I think. They didn't want to sell their products to gay couples for their weddings. Their Christian beliefs that homosexuality is wrong were overridden by the gay couples' rights. There were other bakeries and flower shops they could have gone to but they chose to sue. Which rights are more important? Is there a hierarchy of rights or do we just make it up as we go?

The concept of a creator is shared by the majority of the population of this planet. We may not all agree on the details but the idea of God is well established. Believing that this world just happened to be the perfect distance from the sun and all the abundance of life evolved so perfectly from primordial ooze is much more delusional than the idea of a creator God.

I believe way I believe. Also believe there's a lot more to that 2/3 of brain we dont use. I believe the Omnipotent left us breadcrumb trails. Evolution certainly seems real,
since its right there. It may not be absolute. Its certainly very possible.

Ive been in those dogmatic logic classes with athiest professors. They're as ardently convinced in opposite direction as I am of the Creator (God of Abraham). They may convincing arguments, faith...like a mustard seed.

Any time someone demands attention human nature will kick in and usually Ignore, Demonize and Resent in no particular order as the first response. Demanding louder will also get the same response, just in a stronger way as a rule.

Thing is they would have SOLD cakes to the couples. They simply weren’t going to create the art requested. Like to see this case law tested with a Muslim business owner.

Come on Glitch. It’s science to believe that nothing exploded and magically everything appeared and then humans emerged from pond scum and all the information in our DNA, just poof, there it was.

I believe a business reserves the right to refuse service. JMO, I think the gay couple should have went elsewhere while letting it be known the baker refused them service as a gay couple. That's how reputations are made. I don't agree with suing and forcing someone to provide a service they do not wish to provide.

Nah. It’s the trans community forcing their way into women’s sports, girls bathrooms, and mutilating children.

Still have no idea what you mean by mutilating children.

Has a trans person personally done harm to you or your family?

All the other rental car places are closed except for the airport in Atlanta. I finally got AVIS to give me a rental and call my wife to make sure and she tells me the car finally started and went into gear so apparently she is trying to make it to North Carolina now….. hopefully they make it this is terrible and I felt so helpless being in Guatemala for work.

The progressive platform has so many strange bedfellows that eventually (and probably sooner than later) they are going to start conflicting with themselves and it will all fall apart.

Is that what it was? Wasn't familiar with the aspects of the case. Agree it would be interesting if the court ruled the same with a Muslim business owner.

They don’t have to harm me personally in order for me to point out that it’s wrong. I’ve never been abused, abuse is wrong. I’ve never been treated badly by a person with Alzheimer’s, but they have a mental illness. That’s a stupid argument to make.

But they are hurting my neighbors by taking scholarships away from hard working women who earned them. They are violating the privacy of little girls, and they and their supporters would like to hurt me by labeling me a bigot and silencing my opinion.

Parents are giving kids puberty blockers and gender reassignment surgeries at very young ages. Psychiatrists are pushing hormones and doctors are lopping of body parts left and right of kids that haven't even graduated high school. Most kids don't even know what career they want to have when they grow up but people are convinced they know they want to change their gender?

Abuse effects someone else. A person choosing to change their gender does not. Big difference.

As I've said previously, we all have some form of mental illness.

I've expressed my opinions on the other subjects, but I guess you're ignoring that.

You’re not getting it. I don’t care what people do. They are free to do whatever they want. They are not free to force me to accept it or pretend that it is normal and right. They don’t have a right to play women’s sports, fight women, or mutilate children. If they want to pretend they’re a woman or a man, that’s their business. It’s wrong and is a mental illness, but they are free to do what they want. But they are the one infringing on the rest of us.
