Yeah... except Phil Robertson didn't actually say anything homophobic or sexist or racist. Or, honestly, anything derogatory at all. Here is the actual quote from GQ magazine.

Please show me where any of what he said was slander against a gay person. Or even mean spirited. He didn't even say it on the show.
And, according to Christianity, homosexuality is a sin. As a matter of fact, sodomy is a sin and is also illegal in some states but that rule has been out for, oh, I don't know, 4,000 years or something. Why act upset about it now?

Now, as for the black comments, the guys comes from a very rural area with a very rural upbringing. He never once said that he didn't like black people or that they were criminals. He said that, before welfare and "pre-entitlement", they were happier than they are now. Is he right? I don't know, I don't really care. But the guy is allowed to have an opinion.
He didn't slander, he didn't demean, he didn't cry out for their blood on the alter, so why are people acting so INCENSED?
Most of the people who lash out about this didn't even READ the comment.

To be honest, I can't tell if you're serious of if this is some goddamn GBS 2.0 irony spilling over into PYF.
So I'll just assume you're being genuine and spell this poo poo out for you real quick:

First, don't act like other people didn't read the comment when you intentionally skipped the worst parts while posting it here.
Second, treating people like their very existence is a sin is wrong. It doesn't matter what your religion says, slavery is wrong. It doesn't matter what your religion says, bigotry is wrong. It doesn't matter what your religions says, treating gays like their sexuality is 'sinful' is not an ok way to treat other human beings.
Third, the world moves forward. Right now you get to practice being OK with gay people because we are moving forward whether you like it or not, so don't whine about how things were 4000 years ago, unless you really think things were better back then (they weren't).
Fourth, don't even try to defend what he said about blacks. Aside from the fact that he has no idea what he's talking about (and he's wrong by the way), what he's repeating are lovely 'slavery was great for black people' talking points from FOX News. If my family had been enslaved and some rear end in a top hat went on TV and said "your family was so happy and carefree back when a man controlled and owned their very lives and had the right to buy, sell, starve, beat, rape, and kill them at will" I'd be a little upset too.
And fifth, pretending you know what minorities have to deal with when you have no perspective and no experience IS demeaning, so have a little humility and stop getting upset when a moron gets told he's a moron. It may be amateur hour for you talking about poo poo you don't understand here on funny internet forums, but this dillweed acted the fool on national TV, so he's gonna get made fun of. That's how it works.

I fell in love with Amusing Duck years ago and made it my quest to find it. I finally tracked down the convenience store in Toronto where the original person who discovered it bought it, but any stock they might have had was long gone. I'm pretty sure the clerk thought I was crazy in my attempt to describe it.

It's a tough situation because while bigotry is obviously wrong, discriminating against somebody's religious beliefs (and losing your job because you voiced them) is also kinda lovely. Even if you and most of civilized society is shifting towards the opposite beliefs, I feel like the old saying "I don't agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it" might apply here. Censorship can be just as damaging to a society as bigotry.

This is the most inane middle-school debate level conversation I've been witness to since, well, middle school. "Bigotry is bad" "Censorship is bad". Wow, what controversial stances to take.

I know the point of the original image post was to point out that the ribbon looks more like a P than an O, making it say "We're all herpes", but this post also brings up the terrible nature of the Komen foundation and Susan Komen as a person.

Susan Komen the person died in 1980. Never had a thing to do with the organization or it's controversies.

Captain Trips posted:

They actually trademarked "For The Cure", and aggressively sue anyone who tries to use the phrase in their own campaigns.

theflyingorc posted:

Maybe they shouldn't have trademarked in the first place, but I'm really tired of seeing people saying "they keep going after people for using their trademark!" for various organizations.

You're legally required to do that or you lose the trademark.

It's not completely true that sodomy laws were totally struck down by Lawrence. Lawrence is a complex and very limited ruling that has some legitimate constitutional issues which weaken it. Sodomy between consenting gay partners in the privacy of their home, sure. But the are several exceptions involving the military, positions of power (even if over the age of consent), solicitation, and sentence enhancements for other crimes based on engaging in sodomy. In those cases, the exceptions have been applied to heterosexuals as well as homosexuals.

Ferrule posted:

Sodomy is actually more broadly defined than just anal sex (or homosexual sex). It includes oral, manual, and, sometimes, sex not for pro-creation.

It's fun and cool to engage in sodomy. Fight the power!
