Apparently, according to Berkeley. The true colors of the liberal party have been shown right here. They don't actually care about anyone's rights.
Plenty of conservatives care, some obsessively so (I can point to three posters here alone that post more gay issues than actual gay members do), it seems to become more of an issue the more extreme you get with both liberals and conservatives. Neither party cares about opposing viewpoints or rights.
Berkeley demonstrated the fascism of the left. You better think and speak correctly or there will be violence. - - - Updated - - - Homosexuals have every right as anyone does. Forcing people to believe homosexuality is normal is not a right. I don't mistreat anyone, homosexual or straight. However, I'm entitled to my beliefs without punishment in this country. Live and let live.
Liberals have always been the most abusive and repressive of all political movements. As bad or worse than out and out communist revolutionaries. Can you believe the hate they spewed out at the Liberal Women's March in DC? Poor Milo his book is only #1 on Amazon.
Surely that event only demonstrated that the protesters don't care whether someone is gay or not - it was totally irrelevant in the situation and irrelevant to their response. There's plenty else wrong with what happened there but on this specific aspect, it was exactly right.
I see Berkley protesters were blind to his sexual identity they only shut down his freedom of speech because he's a conservative,
Everything is political with the left. It's not about homosexual rights, muslim rights, women's rights, etc. It's about your politics. If you're a conservative woman, conservative homosexual, or conservative muslim then you're gonna be punished and demonized. The groups are merely pawns.
Yes, a political ideology sees the world through a political lens. It's almost as if the definition of politics is the power structures within a society.
Yep, people's so called "rights" are merely a smokescreen. If you're a part of a leftist protected group and deviate from the script you're gonna feel that whip across your back and you better fall back in line and bow to your master. The pawns actually believe they're furthering "rights". Sad.
Amazing how shutting down freedom of speech happens almost daily on college campuses and it doesn't make much news at all.
A classic example is the human being in its mother's womb. No rights whatsoever, yet human. Mother's right to kill that human trumps its right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Mother votes, the fetus doesn't.
Here I thought this was going to be an interesting thread about the issue presented in the title and then you give is ^^this^^. Berkeley bad.
Its odd how the left kept telling us about all the violence that would be committed by the right when Trump lost - as always they are the ones committing all the crime. Homosexuals have most of the rights as anyone else now. This didn't happen through simple discussion, the anti-gays had to be fought against every step of the way - where was the live and let live then? You are indeed entitled for your own beliefs, our soldiers have died protecting this right; but it is insincere to think your beliefs allow you to exist in a vacuum chamber. I hope we continue to push for the same protections available to all minority (and by the majority - Christians) but stop well before special rights are invented (think AA type programs). All US citizens should be treated equally in the eyes of the law, reguardless of individual characteristics.
Not even that. I think they have specific objections to the things he says and the manner in which he says them. It is entirely personal. Please note that I'm not defending forcing the event to be cancelled and I'm certainly not defending any acts of violence or criminal damage. I'm only addressing the specific point in the OP.
Nobody's accusing anyone of burning down a college campus here. I believe in higher education and I can think of no better institution than UC Berkeley to represent our cherished American values.
I think the Progs have a special hatred for Milo because, given pretty much everything about him bar his politics, he should be one of their own. They really hate it people like him (Milo) demonstrate how misguided they are on demographics. Psych 101.
But you have to understand that if any conservative group did that they would have been run into the ground for being hateful of gays and protesters everywhere would have been around. You do have to admit this yes?
Beliefs are rarely punished, until after they are expressed. And then what matters is the where, the when, the how and the why behind the expression. There are supposed to be consequences to expressing widely unpopular beliefs, but we hope that they are not so punitive that society stagnates and mummifies.
Almost certainly. The extremists and reactionaries are idiotic scum regardless of where on the political spectrum they might sit (or think they sit). You OP makes you part of that problem though. It was a lie, which given the general rationale displayed in your posts, you must have been fully aware of.
They are probably closet queers if they are big homosexual supporters. I post a lot about it cause I get force fed a daily diet of homosexuality on the TV, computer and news and am sick of it. Same as I post a lot about the dems goal to confiscate our guns. Back in the day we didn't have to swallow all that homosexual BS. We seldom even talked about it. The homosexuals demand lots of attention nowadays. One was on the radio today. she/he said they didn't want a special bathroom to accommodate them. They wanted to use the bathroom of their choice. They were going to SCOTUS over it. We will just have to see how it ends up. If I was the judge I tell them to pull their panties down. You got a penis...use the men's room. You got a slit...use the girls room...case settled. They need to start coming down hard on the homosexuals. Maybe they can start understanding their lifestyle is not something to be proud up....mentally ill confused people. Sure, be a homo if you like, but people are getting sick of hearing about it day and night.
The bulk of the initial posts here about homosexuals are anti-gay in nature, not pro gay, by conservative posters, proving the op invalid. Maybe you are confused "Back in the day", homosexuals were arrested and driven deep underground. They hid - that's why you didn't hear much about it. That's era is over now. Guns are a first amendment right, no amount of whining by the extreme left will change this. Ah the perfect utopia of a con job. Tell me, where do people that were born intersexed use the bathroom? Transexual does not equal homosexual. Bring it, I promise I am better armed and prepared than just about any of you old bigots stuck "back in the day". People are done being afraid of you, you have lost your power and are now in a dying minority. You are tired of hearing that gay people exist, we are tired of hearing that bigots exist - seems we are at a stalemate. Need a safe space?
