Also, all of those examples you gave are of people who are polarizing, not because any one of them are attempting to be silenced. There are a lot of people, especially in the media, who are 100% on board with what Kaepernick is trying to do.
I'm talking about intolerance, where you attempt to shut down people who have a difference of opinion. In Canada, there is a bill being discussed in Parliament that would make it a criminal offense to say anything "directly or indirectly offensive" to a transgender person, which would include things like not using "non-binary gender pronouns," even if it was accidental. The bakery in Colorado that refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding was essentially shut down after a bunch of protests and threats were directed their way.
To the social justice warriors, it isn't good enough to just be indifferent to one of their causes. It's not good enough to not care about or be indifferent towards Caitlyn Jenner's "transition" - you must think he (she?) is a hero and is the most deserving person of an ESPY Courage award ever, and if you don't agree you're a bigot. If you don't passionately agree with them, then you are (insert name here). The rise of "safe spaces" and "trigger warnings" on college campuses are the cases in point of this, and those places are the hubs and incubators of leftist thought.
This. I dont care what you do in your bedroom as long as adult consent is mutual...i dont care if youre mentally ill with Gender Dysphoria and THINK that you are anything besides the M/F biology is certain that you are...I dont care as long as your issues do not affect me and mine.
Thats NOT ENOUGH for the liberals these days though. Period.
They want the REST of US society...99+ % ....to CHANGE the way that we have addressed humans as he/she since language first EXISTED and CELEBRATE their sins and mental illnesses with parades...changes to CHILDREN'S curriculum...make laws, policies, and regulations JUST to call attention to their already obvious weirdness...
It is all complete bullsheit.
We will not!
The Emperor is butt azz naked! YOU want to pretend he has clothes on? Want to pretend there are more than 2 sexes for 99.99% of people (100% of normal people) ? Want to act like homosexuality is a good thing, or normal human behavior? ( it absolutely is NOT...if it were "normal " the human race would be extinct as gays cannot reproduce) Want to play pretend like a child 24/7/365??
You do you. Your delusions are yours.
Do NOT for a single second expect normal, sane people to play along with you though. We KNOW better. We understand the meaning of the word "normal". We understand mental illness, biology, statistics and GROSS over representation. Ever notice how every modern sitcom, and probably half or more commercials showing US people have AT LEAST 1 clearly gay person/couple? Many times with children they are physically incapable of producing???
How many gay people you think there actually ARE in the US? 2% ? So 1 in 50? 1% ? So 1 in 100? Yet 20% or so are over represented in every damn thing on TV
Why is that? Whose agenda? Who owns all the major media companies in the US? Are they leftists or right? Hmmmmm
You can bombard morons watching with TV with whatever you want trying to make them think your mental/moral defects are normal. It will never make it true.
We just now are legalizing gay marriage and conservatives fought it tooth and nail. Banning/silencing ideas we don't like is exactly what is the matter with political correctness. I don't understand why you think the right's version of it went away.
Gay people will never truly be married.
Marriage is a Christian institution...the union of 1 man and 1 woman as defined by God Himself in the most widely printed book in history, the Bible.
Civil unions with the same tax burdens as marriage have been around for decades. Legally the same as marriage. Taxed more just like married couples. Cool.
They will never be truly married though...doesnt matter what any court document or other papers say.
Marriage is a triangle. The man and woman make up the bottom 2 points at its base. The point at the top is the GOD of Isaac and Jacob. It is a spiritual covenant between 2 humans and the Creator of the universe. 3 parties to that covenant.
The most important party...God Almighty...invented the union and says unless the other 2 parties are 1 man and 1 woman, it is not a marriage. They can call their partnership whatever they want. I can call my Toyota a Ferrari if I want to. I can get the word "Lamborghini " painted on both sides if I want to. It STILL isnt a half million dollar Italian sports car...no matter how much I want it to be...no matter how much I pay lobbyists or make papers saying that it IS .....it is not. It will never be.
THAT IS REALITY. A boy is a boy, a girl is a girl, and those are the only 2 options no matter how much pretend yall weirdos want to play.
Knock yourself out. Sane people will not agree with you though. We know better.
GET OVER YOURSELVES. Your delusions are fine as long as they do not affect the sane, or in any way infringe on other peoples rights. When they do either of the above....it is time to shut your delusions down and move them back into your private residence/head where they belong.
