You're the one that can't grasp the idea that sometimes people annoy other people with silly behavior, and we don't have a constitutional right to act like a goofball.
If you think you're being mistreated because you talk with a lisp, use certain catch-phrases, and dress a certain way...it might be true. That's a fact of life. Sexual preference has nothing to do with it whatsoever--it shouldn't even come into play in a job interview. If you're being discriminated against over your sexual preference, it's your own fault. If you want to be successful in life and accomplish certain goals, just don't do it.
Having said that, there are plenty of job choices that would seem to benefit that sort of behavior. Should I sue because I can't get a job as a fashion designer because they suspect me as liking women?

Sexual preferences have nothing to do with speech impediments.
Sexual preference, like having a lisp, is not anyone's "fault."
"Should I sue because I can't get a job as a fashion designer because they suspect me as liking women?"
I'm not sure of your point, but I suspect you can't get a job because you're acting like a moron.

May I quote you to the fundies who annoy me?
"we don't have a constitutional right to act like a goofball."
Really? I don't think you have a right to not be annoyed, and I don't think that we are allowed to crack down on people for something so subjective.
"If you're being discriminated against over your sexual preference, it's your own fault."
So you condone discrimination against for the arbitrary things you mentioned beforehand, along with this? Wonderful.

LOLgo to hell.
If you're being discriminated against over your sexual preference, it's your own fault.
If you're being discriminated against because of your race, it's you own fault. That makes just as much sense.

There are straight fashion designers out there. Mabe you didn't get the job because you're a moron?

Yes. If somebody discriminates against you for your sexual preferences - straight or gay - it's illegal.
I have met exactly one (1) gay man with a lisp, and he could have bench-pressed a Buick. Oddly enough, nobody ever made fun of him. You might want to rethink your stereotypes there, bubba.
Sounds sort of like my mother when she's being a pain in the ass about something -- what happens in the real world? (Well, if that's the case, why can't I have a respite from the real world when I'm at home, huh?)
If people discriminate, it's not the person they have discriminated against's fault. And by the way, there are MANY straight designers. What they ask you in a job interview is YOUR QUALIFICATIONS, reason why they don't give you the job to you. It's as stupid as saying that they hire doctors who write as bad as possible.
"we don't have a constitutional right to act like a goofball."
We oh so totally do. That is all.
Oh, people, this is so fundie. Fundamentalists mean they are fixated on one and only one way of viewing things, regardless if it is religious, fictional, or whatever. The quoted statement proves it.
Which means there are a lot of fundies out there that we do not quote, these are prolly the worst.
Spiderman, you cannot even make a creative anecdote on Carm, for fuck's sake. What makes you think you'd get hired as a designer of anything? Anyway, when did you "choose" to be straight?
"Should I sue because I can't get a job as a fashion designer because they suspect me as liking women?"
Liking women doesn't prevent you from working as a fashion designer.
Unless you want to design shoes.
"You're the one that can't grasp the idea that sometimes people annoy other people with silly behavior,"
Like saying atheism is a religion, or thinking you will be beamed up any day now, or your daughters doll is posessed by satan, or spongebob squarepants is gay, or . . . .
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
