No, I grew up in Canada. Yes, the strange foreign land of Canada, so unlike the USA.

I don't curse God any more than I curse Bullwinkle, and I'm not asking for your pity, you condescending ****. I'm asking for equal rights under the law.
Yes very wrong a very off the mark. Now maybe we can get back onto the topic of assaults on gay people

I don't know what it's like to be you. I think that's all I can say before I do this :foot: .

Is that all you're asking for?

I don't have the time or patience to play your little games. If you have something to say, say it.

See how much more effective it is not to beat around the bush?Then don't play.
Besides, you already did on another thread.

If i was a gay person i'd love to watch every institution in existance that tried to prevent my rights from being equal to those of straight people burn to the ground and the people that supported these institutions put out of their ignorant, self absorbed missery.
The sad thing its religious groups or religious based groups often opposed to equality. What hypocrisy. Shame on those who judge others for what they do behind closed doors.

Probably, yes. Then again, after so many years of persecution and even in this modern world such petty intolerance of gay people what do they expect.
I'm not even gay and i despise the people who so openly hate gays for being gay. Its just so childish and needless. Hate for the sake of hating.

They have their own misguided motivations, but I certainly don't hate them in return. *shrug*

If it were up to me, you'd have equal rights under the law. I am not bothered by the existence of LGBTQ people, nor do I feel any compulsion to make their lives miserable. If I'm out walking in the park and I see two dudes holding hands, I'm happy for them!
Puts a smile on my face to know that they found each other in such a hostile world, with so many people who hate them for what they are. I think about how I would feel if I were gay. What would I do? How would I cope? How would I survive?

I'm not sure what's trending in Europe, but in America hostility against Muslims is certainly increasing.
It's a regrettable fact that certain groups will always be targeted within society. Getting to know your neighbor and appreciating instead of alienating those who are different than you would certainly do wonders.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.

Hey - HEY!
I don't see Smoke playing the victim. In fact, I NEVER see Smoke playing the victim. This thread is ABOUT gays in Europe being victimized by intolerant religious radicals (in this case aka radical Muslims). So I don't think it's inappropriate in any way for a gay man to give his perspective on the situation.

I can, if need be but I have little motivation to do so but alright, I will do so, when you can prove to me why brown people and Islam are to blame and not just certain specific individuals for this. Christian Europeans do the same. It isn't specfic community. Violence happens, it's sad, yeah but it happens but why are you blaming brown people and Islam?
So Muslims are a borg-like people? Hmm? OH NO, those brown people are inherently dangerous and violent people, beware gayz, mini-skirt wearing chickz, and Jooooz!! DEH GOOOOON KEEEL YO!! Come on, this is ridiculous for more than one reason mind you.

I didn't say anything like the things you're accusing me of saying, and frankly I find your take on what I said so absurd -- so unbelievably stupid -- that I don't see any point in trying to clarify it for you. I don't give a damn what you think of me, and we can talk regardless of that. But if you want to discuss anything with me, you're going to have to bring your own brain.
