[aCultureWarrior explains to alwight why all homosexuals should be criminalised because of the actions of a few.]
Let me explain about the Homosexual Collective a different way alwight.
Let's say you and your boyfriend live in the US and you wanted to get married (in some states for now, more will follow). Because "some" militiant homosexual activists became involved in the culture and political scene, all that you and your boyfriend would have to do is go get a marriage license.
The same goes with Education; you can become a openly homosexual teacher because of what "some" militant homosexual activists did.
The Church; you can become a homosexual pastor in many churches because of what "some" militant homosexual activists did.
Government: You can hold political office because of what "some" militant homosexual activists did.
The Military: You can join the military as an openly homosexual male or female (activists are currently working on allowing transsexuals into the military as well) because of what "some" militant homosexual activists did.
The list goes on and on.
Are you starting to get the picture, or are you still going to play dumb alwight?

So, people fought for equality and an end to discrimination.
Methinks aCW defeated their own 'argument'.
Let me explain about the African-American Collective a different way alwight.
Let's say you and your black girlfriend live in the US and you wanted to get married. Because "some" militiant black activists became involved in the culture and political scene, all that you and your black girlfriend would have to do is go get a marriage license.
The same goes with Education; you can become a openly black teacher because of what "some" militant black activists did.
The Church; you can become a black pastor in many churches because of what "some" militant black activists did.
Government: You can hold political office because of what "some" militant black activists did.
The Military: You can join the military as an openly black male or female because of what "some" militant black activists did.

Sounds just as stupid with one word change as it did your way.
A collective implies that there is some sort of structure, rules and such. As you know the collective exists, it must be easy for you to show us the structure, provide a certified copy of the rules etc. Or are you just a liar using a word that sounds all socialist to make it seem bad?
@Arctic Knight, that is indeed exactly what happened with African-Americans and you can put dates on each one and add, for good measure, wanting to get married to your non-black girlfriend.
So, homosexuals should be criminalized because they want to be treated equally to you?
Uhm, say something about the evil elites holding you back again?
It seems those militants are fighting for the American dream of equality, freedom and the pursuit of happiness. It might not be your happiness though.
So, basically, your "argument" here is that the LGBT people who "know their place" are ok, but those who stand up for themselves and demand equal treatment are "militant" and baaad, and they might give others the nerve to do the same.
I think I've heard enough from you, aCW.
If it wasn't for militant activists, you'd be spending Pounds to buy Tea, Pledging alleigence to the British crown and driving on the proper side of the road, so STFU.
I'm failing to see the justification for criminal charges here. Change homosexuals to 'blacks' or 'women' and you have the same struggle that has always existed in this elitist country. It has always required activism to push toward equality.
So I suppose next you'll want to criminalize women's suffrage and the civil rights movement as well? Fuckwit.
See, what I get from this is that aCW thinks that getting a marriage license, being a teacher, being a pastor, being a politician, and joining the military are all things that YOU SHOULD NEVER DO BECAUSE IT IS IMMORAL TO DO ANY OF THOSE THINGS.
"Are you starting to get the picture, ..."
Yes. I think so. Is it 'persecution by bigots makes right'?
Let's say you and your boyfriend live in the US and you wanted to get married (in some states for now, more will follow). Because "some" militiant homosexual activists became involved in the culture and political scene, all that you and your boyfriend would have to do is go get a marriage license.
GASP!
The same goes with Education; you can become a openly homosexual teacher because of what "some" militant homosexual activists did.
GASP! The horror!
The Church; you can become a homosexual pastor in many churches because of what "some" militant homosexual activists did.
GASP! They're all around us! Closing in!
Government: You can hold political office because of what "some" militant homosexual activists did.
NOT GOVERNMENT OFFICE! IT'S A MADHOUSE! A MADHOUSE!
The Military: You can join the military as an openly homosexual male or female (activists are currently working on allowing transsexuals into the military as well) because of what "some" militant homosexual activists did.
NOOOOOOOO!
The list goes on and on.
Damn uppity sodomites! we've already stopped throwin' em in jail for being queer, and there's some places where they don't get killed! That should be enough for 'em!
I guess I don't get it. Because some gay people fought for gay rights which all gays now enjoy, then all gay people need to be punished for the "crimes" of a few? aCultureWarrior does know what rights are, doesn't he? You know, something that you are able to do because you are a human being and everyone else gets to do as well, not something that people in the minority get to do if the majority just happens to feel generous enough to allow them to do it?
But using aCultureWarrior's logic, we should throw all Christians in prison because a few of them have bombed abortion clinics or shot abortion doctors.
Jesus Christ, has anyone else read that thread? Here's an exchange from later on in the discussion:
-----
alwight (the dude ACW is arguing with): You seem to be strangely worried by other people wanting a fair and equal society for all, without discrimination.
aCultureWarrior: Finally, you acknowledge that the Homosexual Collective exists!
-----
What a tremendous retard.
My GOD! We're allowed to integrate in society, like...like NORMAL PEOPLE!
*Swoon*
You're right. Something must be done. We must be stopped...I mean soon, we might even be able to look you directly in the eye and offer to shake your hand!
"The same goes with .........; you can become a openly homosexual ......... because of what "some" militant homosexual activists did."
And at no time do you explain what the problem is. What a waste of Internet space your post was.
"militant homosexual activists"
Methinks that if you were alive in the 1950s, you'd consider civil rights activists in the same regard.
Your list sounds like a healthy society. Are you frightened because people are leaving your bigoted hysteria behind?
As for joining the Collective, I'd like an engraved invitation first. And my own laser cannon.
> Are you starting to get the picture
No, because you still haven't answered the damn question. All you have done is listed the good changes that have been made in the past few years, all of which refute the point that you are trying to make.
Yeah, I'm so sick of all of those militant homosexuals, who regularly carried out terrorist attacks against US government agencies, and only relented when we gave them rights that most people wouldn't have wanted them to have.
Oh wait, that didn't happen. What happened was that gay people started pointing out how shitty the laws are, and how shitty their lives were because of it, and gay and straight people joined together to fix things. Then a bunch of cavemen calling themselves "conservatives" smeared them as "militants" because they couldn't figure out why they were losing every goddamn election.
"Homosexual Collective"? That's a new one. Maybe I'll make that a custom playable faction next time I play Galactic Civilizations. We'll conquer the galaxy
Also, none of the actions are bad things?
Using that logic, all Christians should be put in prison because "some" Christians commit murder.
Hell, using that logic, EVERYBODY would be criminals.
Besides, gays SHOULD be able to get married, and to become teachers, pastors, and soldiers. The list DOES go on and on. Everybody is equal under the law, and it's not right to deny somebody of their rights without due process of law.

The list goes on and on.
Are you starting to get the picture, or are you still going to play dumb, (un)Culture(d) (Keyboard)Warrior?
@Solipsism for Jesus
"It's the Christian Dominion"
And look how well the Dominion did against Starfleet, the Klingon Empire & Romulan Star Empire. [/"ST:DS9"]
"Are you starting to get the picture, or are you still going to play dumb alwight?"
Yes I get it if what you mean is that "militant activism" produces results.
it's people like these that say "we love freedom, and the constitution" and then they scream and cry about how horrible it is that people have freedom and the constitution.
this guy only cares about himself and no one else, he is his own god
If the extension of these institutions to 'the homosexuals' was a gift by the King of America to reward a band of heroic gays who saved his kingdom, this argument would make a small amount of sense.
I do not think that happened.
[a(nUn)CulturedWhore-ior doesn't explain to everyone why all black people should be criminalised because of the actions of one person ]
Let me explain about the Black Collective a different way.
Let's say you and your girlfriend live in the Southern States of the US and you wanted to get married. You'd get lynched because you are a black man, and your girlfriend is white .
The same goes with Education; you can become a black teacher in a white school because of what "some" militant civil rights activists did.
The Church; you can become a black pastor in many white churches because of what "some" militant civil rights activists did.
The Military: You can join the military, and have white people in the country you're stationed in stick up for you, because the tolerant British people objected to the white troops' demands for segregated facilities (especially pubs), and the Brits beat the crap out of the white foreign servicemen in WWII.
Government:

And all because of one Rosa Parks committing a 'criminal' act in the eyes of the dominant, white paradigm at the time & in that part of the US.
Are you starting to get the picture, or are you still going to play dumb, a(nUn)CulturedWhore-ior?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
