Just wanna say that I fucking love you awesome ladies. This is probably the one place where I feel 100% safe and comfortable being totally honest and being totally who I am. I don't even tell people at work I'm Jewish for fear that it could negatively impact my job cuz I live in a super conservative area.
But when I'm here, I'm all "Hey guys, I'm a Jew!"
I'ma Jew I'ma Jew I'ma Jew and Magic is a big ole lesbo and most of you are total bitches in a good way and we got some Canadians here and who knows maybe even a unicorn, and I fuckin' love vodka to the max which I also keep on the down low IRL so my boss doesn't think I'm a BIG alcoholic. Oh and I listen to Rob Zombie.
My little cousin came out to his dad, who promptly kicked him out of the house. At least he's as good at suicide attempts as he is at being straight.
But yes, let's tell this 14 year old boy that he doesn't deserve the right to get married, or that walking into a business is an assault on someone else's morals.

I love the knot because I am exposed to so many different opinions, religions, cultures, and people in general. I was raised by a super homophobic family. I never knew it was wrong until I got out in the world. It was almost like I was lip-synching my parent's ideas.
Then I just starting inserting gay into all of the ideas why blacks and women weren't given the same rights as white Christian males and realized that the argument is EXACTLY the same. Everyone is entitled to their religious beliefs, UNTIL that belief determines the rights of others. Sometimes, to shed yourself of ignorance, you have to break the mold and live outside of everything you have ever known.
My older relatives, and family from the south, still has the same views, and I just feel sad for them.

Um, EXCUSE ME?!
I'm Canadian and a unicorn. Freaking recognize.
K, come cuddle with me and Magic. Cuz that's fucking cool.
My favorite coming out story just occurred over the holidays. One of our groomsmen picked his brother up from the airport who flew home from college. We'll call them Joe & Mike. Conversation went like this:
Joe: Hey man, how's college? How are the ladies treatin' ya?
Mike: Well, that's actually something I kind of need to talk to you about. I'm gay.
Joe: Well hey man, how are the dude's treatin' ya?

You should feel safe no matter where you go. Your post pulled on my heart. Being a Muslim and finding people on here that are wonderful to talk to is so amazing and I can be myself to. I love this place and the fun on here! I know that I can come to you all for anything...
Live fast, die young. Bad Girls do it well. Suki Zuki.
Also, here is a map showing what states have passed the law specifically. Or in alternative, what states have courts that have interpreted these issues under the strict scrutiny test. Check out how your state fares!

@novella1186: You're amazing. That was so eloquent, and I'd love to see anyone try and argue that. It's not possible.
But....but..the invisible sky man! There's a book on him written 1000 years ago that says all these rules! We've already disregarded half of them, but...we have to hate the gays still! Because... invisible sky man reasons!
What a surprise! Alabama is one of those green states.
I hate my state sometimes. Fucking hellhole for anyone not "normal". A friend of my sister came out to his parents, and his dad took his gun into the woods and fired a shot off. Kid thought his dad had killed himself. And then he asked my sister not to tell us (which was too late; Sis had already told us about his dad being an asshole) because he didn't want my parents to tell her she couldn't hang out with him. Because, you know, other people were doing that. I just want to hug him every time I see him.

I love our GM even more after I heard this story.
I can't imagine how fucking terrifying that flight must have been for "Mike." I just can't imagine that kind of anxiety and vulnerability.

I love this. And I will "lighten up" and just point out that there are just as many conservatives as liberals in this country, and thank God more moderates and Independents are leaving rank. But nonetheless, there is a dominance on these boards that makes it difficult for people to show any conservative side without being discredited, challenged, or jokingly insulted. So I disagree with the original topic of these so-called freedom laws, as everything about them is the antithesis of free, I am also saddened by discrimination and bigotry, and I also find it hypocritical to turn around hatred and bigotry to others based on some very broad conservative paintbrush. So anyway, I'm currently rewatching Supernatural S10 and enjoying all the Dean gifs. He's the sexiest man alive besides my husband (cough).
I don't know any Indian people (from India, I know Native American people and people from Indiana). I still manage to know they should be treated like other people.
I don't know any Muslim people IRL either. I also know that Muslim people should be treated like people.
Lack of knowing gay people is not an excuse. Go out and meet some homos. We're everywhere. Look for the rainbows.
Legit the many gay people I've met/know are some of the best people ever. Slightly partial because my sister is a snarky, awesome, fun lesbian. But I LOVE gay bars. They are so friendly and welcoming. What is there to not like?!

My graduation for undergrad was in a gay bar My mom insisted on it and many aunts, cousins, uncles, etc that attended were so open minded and loved all of the people. My family tended to be conservative and that experience opened eyes and now we frequent the place often and enjoys ourselves. The owner is now one of my mom's closest friends.

When my sister came out to me she was like, so I'm a lesbian. I was like umm ok?? And so do you want some wine and to judge people?!
This is where I, the Pope, cherrypick the bible. I typically reserve this for use on etiquette things, but the discussion calls for it:
There you go. Don't be an asshole. Also, if you realize you're venturing into asshole territory, you would be best served to keep your trap shut about it when you know you'll get called out or run into opposition.
Don't stand in the fire and then complain that it's hot.
BTW, you know what is really condemned in the New Testament (Because isn't the whole point of the New Testament and Jesus to sort of replace the outdated "laws" of the Old Testament; which would sort of make the Old Testament poinless to use against homosexuals)? DIVORCE. So under your heping to commit sin argument, what we should really be doing is refusing to provide any and all rights and services to people who are divorced. Getting remarried? No cake for you! No dress for you! Divorced? Sorry, you can't stay at my hotel.
Until Christians and Catholics start campaigning to limit the rights of divorced people, I will continue to believe they are hypocritical bigots using the Bible to continue to be bigots and hypocrites.

Amen my friend. My favourite bar in town is a gay bar. I hate bars on a normal day, but I love that one.
A little off topic but does anyone else find if hilarious that Christian Bale plated Moses in that movie Exodus? Idk why but that completely cracks me up.
