The interracial gay kiss seen 'round the world

[PokerGuy]

No, holding bigoted attitudes towards others based on their sexual orientation makes someone a bad person in that regard. Pretty simple.

Lets see:

bigotry:stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own.

It is painfully obvious to all but you that you are the very definition of a bigot.

 

[fskimospy]

So, what if I don't watch hetero-kissing and just take that a step further with gay kissing?

Does that make me bad?

If you just don't want to see kissing on television that's fine, but let's not pretend that people reacting to him kissing his boyfriend would have said the same thing had he kissed his girlfriend.

Believe it or not, a guy was threatened with death (assuming he's not lying) in the link I posted.

Threats, unchecked, always escalate to violence. History is simply repeating itself.

This is again, ridiculous hyperbole.

 

[PokerGuy]

Spare me the paradox of tolerance. I have no interest in the argument that in order to be a tolerant individual I must be tolerant of others' intolerance.

That's because you are a hateful bigot, but are too blind to see or admit it, you're too busy accusing others of being what you are. Some introspection would do wonders for ya!

Just answer the question. Is it bigoted to not want to see any kissing, or are your ignorantly applying to gay kissing?

lol. I'm sure.

I know it would make you happy if you didn't have to worry about other people condemning your bigotry because then you could avoid any uncomfortable thoughts. Sorry to tell you that's not going to happen.

And if a woman kissed another woman on tv it would be met with yet another response...

Are you suggesting that different things meet with different responses from people?

 

[fskimospy]

I did answer the question. I'm honestly not sure how I would answer it more clearly.

So in other words, I HAVE to accept both kissing to avoid your definition of bigotry?

Are you tolerant of my right to choose what I will watch without labeling me?

No, I don't see how you could possibly have gotten that from what I wrote. I'm baffled. If you didn't want to watch kissing that's fine. If you don't want to watch certain kissing based on the sexual orientation of those involved, you're a bigot.

 

[nehalem256]

If a gay guy said he thought watching a guy kiss a girl was icky would he be a bigot?

 

[nehalem256]

I don't want to watch 2 straight dudes kiss either.

If I thought straight kissing was "icky", am I a bigot?

Nope, he's proven many times in the past that he's a hateful bigot. The funny thing is that he frequently goes around accusing others of being what he is. With that kind of a hatred for independent thought, he must work for the government.

holy fuck... the intolerance of some assholes.
a) receive potentially the biggest, life changing news of your life (check)
b) crews of tv cameras are standing by to see if you receive said news (check)
c) celebrate by kissing your partner to celebrate this joyous news (check)
d) tv cameras record said event, broadcasting it globally (check)

404 no big deal found


Pretty much the story for a lot of life changing events, this just happens to be between 2 men. Get the fuck over it already, it has ZERO impact on your life or your daily goings on's.

And then he normally spins that to make it as if you "misunderstood" him.

I'll refer to him as "eskimospin" from now on.

Remember how in basically every other conversation we've ever had about this you accused me of "spinning" the issue only to later apologize? Why would you do that yet again?

 

[PokerGuy]

I don't know where you'd get the notion that I think it has any impact on my life or daily goings on. I prefer not to watch things I find repulsive, and thus I tune into channels that don't show things I find repulsive.

This time, I have better evidence.

You said that refusing to watch a kiss "based on sexual orientation" makes me a bigot.

Then, I asked you if I refused to watch a "straight kiss" (which is also based on sexual orientation) makes me a bigot, and you said NO.

Then you said you don't know how I got that from what you wrote.

Do you even understand what you wrote?

All of this. :thumbsup:

I think it's quite clear that you don't understand what I wrote. Please provide the exact quotes from me that you believe said this, because I said nothing of the sort.

If you don't care for what people do in their personal lives, don't watch video footage of it.

See, you have this wrong. It was only broadcasted globally because they were 2 gay men. If it was no big deal, they wouldn't have broadcast it at all.

So is it a big deal? Since people want this broadcasted globally, of course there is going to be backlash against it. Some do not want to see it. I don't. If that means I'm a bigot, then I'm proud to be a bigot.

Really, I couldn't care less about sports, I don't want to see it, hear about it, talk about it, yet I see it plastered all over CNN, on these forums, and if I bothered to log into facebook, probably all over that as well.

I honestly think there are more important things for the minds of the masses to worry about than a few homo men kissing each other over one being drafted. If it was a man and a woman, it wouldn't have hit the news period... So, are gay men special?

 

[Jaskalas]

Government going to tell us where we can kiss? **** that.

Can't piss or !@#$ in public either. Go figure.

 

[SlowSpyder]

So? I don't find that revolting. I'm not advocating some law against Sam and his bf kissing, or against a channel showing it, but I prefer not to have to be exposed to something I find disgusting, so I will watch another channel, and I'll be sure to let espn know about that preference.

Nowadays someone's taste and preferences have to be politically correct apparently.

I saw an episode of Throw Down, Bobby Flay cooked something I find disgusting. Obviously just changing the channel and moving on won't get my totally non-bigot message across to them. I better let Food Network know of my preference.

Perhaps you could spare us your insane hyperbole of saying that if you think 2 guys kissing is gross your are a hateful bigot?

This is why people like me actually turn antitheist. You are so indoctrinated that you really feel that society not accepting your bigotry is in fact bigotry itself. At first I figured you were trolling, but now I wonder.

Our society looks down on people who would hate x,y,z race of people just because, but there is no law against it. You're in the same position as an antisemite, white supremacist, etc., but think you're the one who's being persecuted due to bigotry. That's kind of scary.
