I watched them before I replied and perhaps they don’t go as far as “god hates fags” but it’s not far off.its an assumption that street preachers are westborough types/ because that was never proven or alleged. Yu can watch them for yourself on you tube- exactly what they were saying and their style, the specific assumption is that any preacher who sees homosexuality- as a sin etc is a phelps type, maybe its not an assumption but it is a sterotype
Can I ask what your view would have been if the 6-7 guy was straight? There are plenty of straight people that shut down homophobic bigotry - are they also doing it because they have pride in their heterosexuality (which makes the whole point even more bizarre) or is it because they’re decent human beings that think there’s no place for bigotry in this world?Im characterizing that as toxic pride only to fit debate topic. If wee are so pround of our sexuality it drives us to engage in mutual combat- its a problem is my thought.
It may well be interpreted by some people in that way but making a generalised statement like this puts you on the level with Tall Man. Just because some people hold such views doesn’t mean that everyone does.It could be that Mr 6-7 equated their "sermons" as homophobic- which these days is interpreted as anything negative about gay/issues, which in turn is equated to hate
If I were to say that all Canadians have a longing to go to India and make themselves look like tits and march in gay parades to win the support of others (while wearing tight-fitting trousers to show off a very appealing bum), I’d clearly be talking out of my rear end just as you and Tall Man do when you say that everything that’s seen as anti-gay is viewed as homophobic/hate speech/criminal.
I couldn’t disagree more. The role of the cops is exactly to opine on guilt before a court hearing. How else would any case ever come before a court? It’s a basic process of the judicial system. Cops will also often publicly state their feelings on a crime or on an accused person. I don’t see what’s extraordinary about that.it is extrodinairy for the cops to publically opine before a court hearing and disparge an accused
If one person broke the leg of another then of course it’s an aggravated assault, according to the law on assault in Canada. The pushing is the assault. The aggravation is the broken leg.Its extrorinairy that a scuffle over a mic, is classed as aggravated assault- for something along the lines of being pushed.
That seems to indicate a preferential treatment by the state/legal system/cops especially since the cops were gay-- based on the demograhic of the victim in this case a gay man
Jesus Christ. By the same logic, if I get arrested for assaulting a straight man and the cop is straight, then it’s preferential treatment by the state/legal system/cops especially since the cops were straight.
Also by the same logic, if a KKK member gets arrested by a black cop for assaulting a black man then it’s preferential treatment by the state/legal system/cops especially since the cops were black.
Do you see the madness here, and the madness in what you’re saying?
