We agree on the loud and annoying, but the bigots are on your side. My side is the one being called names.
Remember the context of our exchange, that this started with the claim that Christians are like Islamists in their pursuit of persecuting gays.
Islamists wouldn't let you live long enough to decide you're not going to report something.
Christians have an opinion, but we don't seek you out and kill you. Our churches even preach tolerance, so most of us don't even make an issue of it verbally.
The level of crime gays experience in America is not significantly greater then the level of crime anyone else in America experiences.
You're nothing special. In fact, the level of crime gays endure being relatively the same as everyone else is one thing that makes you equal to everyone else.
Yeah, cuz you know I've always hated them faggots.
You love *****. So do I. My loving it can lead to kids. That should be controlled somehow. Yours can lead to . . . . nothing of consequence. Don't insult me by pretending we're on the same level, cuz we are not.

Morality clause. Behavior not appropriate or becoming of an employee of the company.
Basically, if someone from work were to see me kissing my boyfriend in public that could be construed as "immoral" behavior and be grounds for dismissal.
funny, when I was on active duty, if someone were to see me kissing my wife in public I could be punished for "public display of affection" PDA.

nor do 31% of straight kids have to miss a day of school because they felt unsafe.
Includes off-duty hours as well? If so, that's just dumb.
I dont think 70% of straight people have been harassed about their sexuality
this is bull****, the numbers are about the same. straight kids just feel unsafe for different reasons (too fat, too skinny, wears glasses, poor, etc, etc, etc, etc)
Includes off-duty hours as well? If so, that's just dumb.
You gays in this country don't even know how good you have it. You have nothing to complain about. Not one goddamn thing. Nothing.
Now, I don't agree with jerry on the vast majority of things. That said...
What makes your getting harassed for being gay any worse or more hurtful or damaging to emotions then someone being made fun of for being a geek? For being fat? For being poor? For being rich? For being smart? For being akward around the opposite sex? For being a virgin? For being a member of the band? For being a red head? For being a blonde? For being short? For being southern? For being northern? For your parents job? For your parent being in prison? For your siblings actions?

No. In fact, it only applies while in uniform. Plus, there are several times in uniform when it completely okay to kiss your significant other (of the opposite sex, until DADT is officially repealed, anyway), such as homecoming or military ball. And, it is highly unlikely (it happens, but is very rare) that any punishment will be given to someone for simply kissing their wife while in uniform. Most often, the military member will simply be given a warning not to do it.

I could go on and on. I'm not saying homosexuals are not harassed, or that its not a bad thing, but I do understand a bit of Jerry in regards to the "woe is me no one understands how horrible and mean people pick on us" things as if somehow, someway, homosexuals are special snowflakes that are the only people in this country who are picked on for things they don't actively tangably choose.
Yeah, when the cops beat the **** out of a homosexual does that show up in the crime rate? It used to be done openly just as recently as 30-35 years ago, but police brutality against homosexuals is still fairly high.
So, this guy:
should have been punished for a public display of affection? He was in uniform, after all.

Because being gay is considered worse than all of the above. When you want to truly insult someone you call them a faggot.
not back in the 80s
