[QUOTE="hard_r, post: 2079157, member: 9837"] How is having equal rights a "protected class"? What I support IS equality. I never said any rights were violated in the situation described. I spoke of a man disagreeing with a group recieving better treatment and more rights than they recieved previously. Yes, I judge someone who compares homosexuals to child molesters. You prove my point that they are not the same, unless you claim that bi-sexuals can be equated to a child molester who also have straight, of-age, consensual sex. Let me make this clear: I never claimed that the man did anything wrong. He has every right to leave his church. What I was doing was making the observation that I find it funny that a man claiming to love freedom and want his rights intact, does not support rights being granted to others. That's all. I found it ironic and hypocritical. As for you, well you place homosexuals in the same class as child molesters, and I never claimed to know you or your character, but it does tell me SOMETHING about you and your character. I did not set out to hijack the thread, I was merely pointing out something I found to be contradictory. As an American, I support all freedoms, not just the ones that affect my life. I am not gay, but support gay rights. I am not a minority, but I support civil rights. I am not a stoner, but I support people's right to choose what they put in their body. I am not a woman, but I support their right to choose what happens to their body. I am an atheist, but I support the first amendment. I support all freedoms, not just the ones that apply to me. When I see others pick and choose which freedoms and rights are important, and which should be denied, I point it out. Now you can call me a jackass all day long, it won't bother me. Whatever makes you feel better. But I'm not sure what got your panties in a bunch in the first place. I have said nothing but point out the silliness of saying "I want my rights, I want my rights." and then saying, "I don't agree with those people having their rights, I think they should still be persecuted and won't affiliate with an organization that treats them equally to me." That is all. It's irony. It's hypocrisy. It's bigoted. If someone is offended at being called a bigot, then they should look at whose freedom they do not support have a long hard look at why they think they are more entitled to freedoms and rights than them. Back to the list, I'm sorry to see educational organizations on there, as I am in school to be a teacher, I feel like I'm walking into the lion's den. [/QUOTE]
