Gay bars: Discriminatory?

[Frisivisia]

Crazy minorities being called the same thing. Who thought that up? Definitely not a white person, I'll tell you.

It was a proto-Mexican.

Exactly. We need to build a wall, not just along the wall, we need one all around the "Latino Americas" to keep them IN.

The Gulf Empire has a ZERO tolerance level for people of homosexual orientation. If you were caught, by police or bystanders, kissing another man on the lips or having anal sex (this goes the same for lesbians as well), you would be immediatly arrested and either shot on the spot or hauled off to a death/concentration camp (the first of the two options is much more merciful than the second). Therefore, most gays keep their gayness a secret and it is illegal to get married or own gay bars. Also gay sympathizers, people who help support or like gays, are also prosecuted. The Gays are to Imperialists like the jews were to the Nazis or like Christians were to Communists.

You really had to go ahead and make another one of your long posts, didn't you?

Is what I do.

I mean yes, you are right, discrimination many times is necessary. In this case though I tend to see the policy as stupid, not so much discriminatory because all they are doing is driving away customers (and revenue much needed for the business).

The problem with being on the "have" side of the socio-political reality, as opposed to the "have not" side, is that you tend to think that you're the only important demographic in the room. Not a "fault" per se, but one we need to look at.

You're one of several people in this thread that has called this policy "stupid" or "wrong" or "driving away customers" which will "hurt the business".

Because "straight people who want to go to a gay bar and make out with their significant other" is somehow automatically viewed as a more valuable demographic than "gay people who want to have a safe space for them to socialize without being reminded of the fact that they're still an oppressed minority"

It's only a stupid decision, at a business level, if you assume that "straight people who want to go to a gay bar and make out with their significant other" is a more valuable demographic to this bar than "gay people who want to have a safe space for them to socialize without being reminded of the fact that they're still an oppressed minority"

Why would you assume that? Gay people have jobs too ya know.

Nah. We build two walls. One has the number 1 painted on it.

The one right behind it says "Wall 2 of 50" in every language.

Presto, instant security.

How the fuck did you do that?

You were searching for yourself weren't you? Admit it.

I do feel a need to clarify one bit, so allow me to indulge. I want to address this "neo art doesn't think it's discrimination when done against straight people".

It most certainly is. Or, to be more precise, it's discrimination against conduct that disparately impacts straight people. This...rabid and unrelenting attempt to try and pin me down, screaming "SAY IT! SAY IT'S DISCRIMINATION! SAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY IIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT" that certain company has engaged in here seems to be based primarily on the same limited and fundamentally childish thinking I alluded to earlier, this myopic, uneducated, unintelligent, and fundamentally stupid idea that they've latched on to, with all the trifling intellectual might that they're capable of mustering, that "discrimination = bad!" and have thus attempted to try and "trap" me into "admitting" that it's discrimination, thus *cough* forcing me into doing a 180 on my belief system because, to these towering monuments of intellectual vapidity "discrimination = bad" and "this = discrimination" and therefore, displaying all the grand thinking of a kindergarten math class, "this = bad"

And when I come along and state, actually, I don't find it that bad, the ENTIRE effort has now swung, with singleminded (because we seem incapable of more) fury, to try and make me admit "this=discrimination" and thus force me to conclude "this = bad" just as they, demonstrating the faculties that make them suited to push shopping carts at walmart, have concluded is the natural and probable result.

And therefore, they have been stymied, utterly stuck, and completely incapable of moving on from the fact that while I freely admit this is a discriminatory act, it's one I'm just not all that bothered by.

Because, once again "discrimination = bad!" is how children think. And I'm not a child.

I don't see how discrimination against straight people is necessary. If it's because of the years of discrimination gay people have been getting, then that's like saying discrimination towards a white person is okay even if he's not racist, it's okay because white people have been known to be racist throughout history. That's your logic, or what it seems to be to me.

I think it was Louis CK who commented on a white guy in Africa going "Wow, look at the minorities around me! I'm the only majority here!"

In Spanish, I believe that's "Wallo dos de queso".
