Yes but every incarnation of the Klan was hunted down by the military minus the current one specifically because of their actions which eventually became criminal and terroristic.
NAMBLA has long ago crossed into criminal conduct town.
Sadly, as much as I hate them, they held up in court against this, including civil court with discovery (all that had to be proven was more likely than not, and they couldn't). This isn't because they were good, but because they were clever at being evil.
I don't agree there, they got up to some truly fucked up shit that was indisputably criminal. Plus didn't they have a connection to Jim Jones through Harvey Milk? Or am I thinking of another demented circus act?
There was no NAMBLA connection with Milk, but like other North California politicians, he had to be nice to Jim Jones, as he had a lot of power then, and better for Milk, the People's Temple would help him campaign.
For example, the Board of Supervisors he was on passed a unanimous vote giving Jim Jones a certificate of honor. Now privately, he didn't like him very much, but politics makes one dirty.
No you misread me...I'm saying I'm with the old school Gay righties who said Troons have no business being in the movement because mental illness being associated with the LGB movement was expressly what they fought against.
Yeah, I disagree with this. Also, much of the reason they pushed this was tactics (which is why it is old school, as it isn't needed now).
People who suffer from dysphoria are neurologically disabled and not of an orientaiton.
What they have is an affliction, what you are is definitely not that.
The definition of dysphoria is not viewing your body as your own, basically having a radically different self image. One solution is to surgically modify the body to match the self image. I don't think it's the same, but both groups were similarly attacked in the past.
We should be careful being to pro business has been a pain recently with big business supporting liberals. That might get turned against us. Instead of giving trannies extra rights just make it so any business that employs over 100 people can’t fire someone unless it’s for cause.
No. Capitalism is a moral good as well as a social good, and deregulation of stupid laws like you propose (which make it less likely to hire new people as they can't be fired easily) are bad.
That's a logically consistent position *if* you equally oppose all other anti-discrimination laws.
Personally, I do. I want to know if the places I do business hate me.
I also want to point out.
@Abhorsen and the other LG and B people on this forum don't want the right to commit sexual assault via deception and sexual assault via coercion.
In fact the stigma associated with that and how it relates to HIV is something those three have fought for almost half a century now.
But the Ts seem to want to make it not only legal but illegal to criticize.
So, in a rough order: I don't believe "sexual assault via deception" is actually sexual assault (defined as non-consensual sexual behavior). It is morally wrong, it could be fraud, but it isn't rape. By that logic one could go far enough to say that boasting about things one did at the bar is rape, or even makeup. That's a bad slope to slide down.
As for the stigma, yes, we did come a long way, but part of that success was because of mostly normal Ts.
And Ts making it illegal to criticize is wrong.
