It's okay if you have any questions.


That's from WorldNetDaily, so it's probably not actually true.

I should note that "help to buy" just means they're forcing charities to sell their housing association houses for a 25% discount to people who've previously lived in them. It's basically a way of propping up housing prices by reducing fair rental stocks :toot:

Approx 1/3 of the stories in the Daily Mail are basically just "White person(s) do completely unnotable thing". Often it's a moderately attractive white lady.

With a healthy dose of, in this case, "these dullards managed to get a house by making their life miserable for the next thirty years, so that means the rest of you poors have to prop up the housing market for us to steal from later take some responsibility too."

It's sort of funny that UKIP is clearly the second most homophobic party in the country but has still come closer than most of the main parties to having a gay leader.

One of the leading candidates in their last leadership election - the one who finished second in the end but got the most attention - was Anne Marie Waters, who is a lesbian. And Irish, despite being a British nationalist. And a former director of the National Secular Society, despite the average stereotypical Kipper being a fundamentalist Christian.

She is currently the director of an organisation called Sharia Watch, co-founded Pegida UK with members of the EDL and hosed away off to found her own extreme-right party when UKIP didn't want her. Curiously enough, she'd previously made a couple of unsuccessful attempts to become a parliamentary candidate... for the Labour Party. I don't know either. :shrug:

WE ARE SMART
Not to say lesbians are less discriminated against than gay men, but homophobes generally seem to care way, way less about lesbians than they do gay men. Some combination of valuing women's sexuality less, lesbians not threatening the sexuality of homophobic men the way gay men do, and the Bible not having a specific prohibition against women having sex with women.

No doubt it's a question of deciding whether you take greater exception to fundamentalist Christians or fundamentalist Muslims. I know at least one gay man who's of that attitude though I doubt it's especially commonplace.

Pretty sure the bible has a specific prohibition against women laying with women in the same oft neglected passages that advise you not to eat shellfish or mix fibers in cloth.

There's also the thing where homophobes think lesbians are fine (as long as they're attractive) because they think there's a chance that they can watch, because they're loving morons who think porn is representative of reality.

Also the whole concept of having somebody they can point to and go "see? we're not bigots!" when the reality is they will absolutely throw gay conservatives under the bus as soon as they stop being convenient.

A lot of the major far right parties aren't really all that fundamentalist Christian. Those that do espouse "Christian values" of their nation usually mean "not Muslim".

I don't think Leviticus actually does cover that, although I could be mistaken. Certainly, the main focus seems to be on men.

Most European countries have virtually no fundamentalist Christians. The UK might be an exception, but even there I think it's mostly concentrated in Northern Ireland and Scotland, where they have the scary kind of Protestantism.
