I file lawsuits because my rights to be an asshole to other people have been trampled.
Melly sent me the link to this story. What I cannot fathom is how this christian student and these christian groups (the ones in the article and the other wackjobs that they share a fringe belief with) can justify a lawsuit whose only goal is to allow them to be assholes to gays at school or at work. What I also don't get is why people can't just leave other people alone. You don't like gays? Fine, don't talk to gay people, don't watch gay t.v. shows, don't go to gay bars. You don't like Chinese people? Fine: lather, rinse, repeat.
More and more I am starting to believe the notion that a good number of conservative christians or fundies don't actually understand what jesus said. What did the man say? Love everyone, not love everyone but the faaaabulous.
The girl in the article says that she is fearful to speak freely about her beliefs because when she does, she gets called negative, intolerant, etc. Well, if you speak negatively or intolerantly you're going to get called such.
Gays aren't getting special treatment with policies against harassment. They are getting the same treatment that everyone else gets, which is not to be harassed at work for who they are be it christian, gay, or a circus performer. You go to work to do your job and get paid, not be an anuswad. You can do that on your free time.
