More rights to gays and lesbians--but not marriage.
Jail time / Psychiatric help for the transgendered and transvestites
39 comments
Gays and lesbians have the equal rights as the hetrosexuals do. As for jail time and psychiatric help for the transgendered and transvestites, that ludacrous. How about instead, jail time and psychiatric help for the ignorant and bigoted fundies.
It's a sad fact, but cross dressing once was against the law in many areas, and gays/transgendered people were placed in mental hospitals, undergoing electroshock and even lobotomies.
If Oscuria wants to return to those days, s/he's certainly on the wrong planet.
Psychiatry will not help 'fix' transgendered, as it's gender identity, not sexuality. Transvestites just like cross dressing, no big whoop.
How about education for you fundies?
Here's one: Fuck you. Fuck you sideways with a slotted spoon, you and the horse you rode in on. You're a sack of shit, and I take personal offense to your lines about transgendered people. If your god is so perfect, how come some people are born the wrong gender, then? Thanks, but get bent.

Thinking Allowed: Depends on how you define equal rights. A heterosexual person has the right to marry the person they love/are attracted to, while a homosexual person does not.
Agreed. I guess the problem I have with oscuria and the "More rights to gays and lesbians" statement is that bigotry rubs me the wrong way.
He then scores a follow-up!
Ha, that would have worked if it wasn't that I'm not a fundamentalist.
Would you have preferred I typed
"LET EVERYONE DO WHAT THEY WANT FREE FROM RELIGION!! RELIGION IS THE CAUSE OF WAR, IGNORANCE, AND HATE!!"
*facepalm*
Oh so close. As long as by more rights you meant civil unions which are marriage by another anime (like in the UK) but you then go and piss all over it with that second sentence (and psychiatric help is part of the sex change process for transgendered people in a way, to make sure they are ready for the change etc)
Definately the jail time rather than psychiatric help. Trans people are a deadly menace to any civilised society. They harm so many by... erm... well...

Ooh! I got one! My transvestite friend once got me to try on his heels, and they pinched my feet something wicked! If we allow these scumbags to roam free in society, soon we'll all be crippled by hammer toes and bunions!
Gays should be able to marry, and hetero people should seek out civil unio - oh, wait, they don't need civil unions, now do they?
Also, die in a fire for what you said about trannies.
If your god was so god damn smart and all-knowing, I wish the FUCK he would have made up his mind when he made me. Putting a dick on a girl like me is just sick and cruel.
THANKS, BUT NO THANKS.
I want it IN me, not ON me.
Managed to get an "A" in my Ethics class for defending the rights of marriage to all legally consenting adults, generally because there were no good counterarguments to it.
1. It's icky! - Doesn't...really matter.
2. It's an abomination before God! - Not a theocracy.
3. Married homosexuals will be allowed to adopt and homosexual parents raising a child may have some detrimental effect on the child's own orientation (This was about the best thought out response I'd ever heard so it took a moment, but...) - Heterosexual parents also pose the same risk to homosexual children, so unless we do a big ol' kiddie-swap, it's best to leave it be.
Is this that hard for people to understand?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
