That DOJ statement is why getting out and vote this year is so important. All that support goes bye bye in a Republican administration.

It was self evident from the moment the Obama administration actually started doing anything with LGBT issues. Any liberal who sits out or votes third party this election is a traitor to the cause as far as I'm concerned.

Hermetic posted:I love that they were trying to make it sound like "trans people fear for their lives in bathrooms" was some big new revelation. For a great many people the idea of your gender being different than your sex is such a foreign concept that I would hazard to call it almost alien. So yeah folks need to be lead through the absolute basics.

I remember someone once asked me if I could take a pill to make me straight would I take it. For the longest time I would say yes but then I thought about it and realized I only felt that way because society treats LGBT people like poo poo. So now I say gently caress that noise because I like who I am. Society needs to change, not trans people. So this whole medication conversation is a nonstarter.

That being said, nothing's going to happen. If we couldn't do anything after a bunch of innocent kids were murdered during school then we're certainly not going to do anything for a bunch of folks who "choose" to live a sinful lifestyle getting shot up at a sin den nightclub.

I've been in a monogamous relationship for over 5 years. I was HIV tested six months ago. Why can't I donate blood? Is AIDS going to spontaneously manifest in my human being body?

OwlFancier posted:For the howevermanyth time, donating blood is not a right. The restriction is based on a statistical fact about HIV rates which I would much rather wasn't true, but my preference on the matter won't change whether it is or not, though with luck medical advances may, one day. Hey jackass no one is saying its a civil rights issue. It's just stupid that as someone who is low-risk for HIV that I'm forever barred from donating blood because I occasionally engage in consensual sex with my husband. A prohibition that magically disappears if I lie about it.

Reik posted:How was Don't Ask Don't Tell viewed by the LGBT community when it was passed back in 1993? Was it seen as progress for LGBT rights? Well it was certainly a better outcome than the witch hunts that came before. My dad (career Air Force) has told me stories about how in the 80's he took part in investigations where they would interrogate and threaten with all sorts of fun things including dishonorable discharges to people who they suspected of being gay to get them to confess and name names.

And before someone gets it twisted, DADT was a horrible policy that deserved to go away. It was monstrous policy and a nightmare to serve under. Next week marks my 6th anniversary of getting out of the military and I'm still dealing with the emotional and mental scars. That said it was the best possible outcome at the time.

oh you're a Berniebro looking for sick  burnswell take it from an actual gay veteran DADT was a poo poo policy but it was better than witch hunts edit: and the law was repealed and replaced with no restrictions. so it went aggressively seeking out and showing gays the door -> keep your mouth shut and everything will be "ok" -> full and open service if you can't recognize that's a positive incremental situation I don't know what to tell you aside from don't forget to breathe Nostalgia4Infinity fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Jun 17, 2016 |

I'm shocked that that known contrarian-poster and QCS superstar the insect court has taken up a contrarian position in a thread in D&D. A position that coincidentally lets him be just a bit biased against gay people.

Octatonic posted:That was a weird post that I don't understand, so I'd instead like to thank you for talking about DADT. It was good to read about, and I would enjoy hearing you expand more if you feel like it. Not much to tell. The most insidious thing about DADT was that you couldn't talk to anyone in a official capacity -- not even a shrink. My supervisor noticed I was depressed/down in the dumps and made me go to the base shrink (who was a civilian). The very first thing this guy tells me is that there are like three things that he has to report to my commander: if I've attempted suicide, if I'm beating my wife/kids, or if I'm homosexual. So since I can't actually tell this dude what's bothering me, I made up some story about being stressed at work. I was lucky in a way, I was older (early-20's), had been out before I enlisted so I was comfortable with who I was, and I had an extremely supportive family that was just a phone call away. Despite all that, it took a toll that (as I mentioned) I'm still trying to unpack. I said I'm lucky because I distinctly remember talking down some 18 year old kid via loving adam4adam who wanted to kill himself because he couldn't jive how he was feeling with his religious upbringing and the bullshit 'integrity first' mantra that's part of being indoctrinated into the service. I sure as hell wasn't equipped to deal with that but what the hell else was I supposed to do? This kid couldn't talk to anyone about how he was feeling without basically being kicked out of the service.

The Insect Court posted:I find the implication that the Obama FDA is filled with secretly bible-thumping homophobes to be a questionable one. Doubly so when there are perfectly sensible reasons arising from well-regarded mainstream statistical epidemiology as to why the deferral period should remain in place. I'd say you're deliberately misrepresenting what other people are saying since I don't think anyone is saying that but that's your loving gimmick so whatever. So I'm sticking with my "oh look the insect court is being contrarian -- again" stance. Just go away please. Nostalgia4Infinity fucked around with this message at 06:35 on Jun 18, 2016 |

Megaspel posted:Yeah I thought so. No I won't because it doesn't matter. Here's some actual advice: if you're that insecure about your sexuality that a stranger telling another stranger to stop straightsplaining poo poo on an internet forum give you the vapors you need to focus on getting that in check because you'll crumble the first time you actually meet someone "offline" that has an issue with you and your sexual orientation.

Hermetic posted:Wow, that probation seems super fair and even-handed. Oh gently caress off. What I meant was that in a world where horrific poo poo is happening it seems a bit silly to get all spun up over someone not showing a straight man enough deference when they roll in and try to explain that Clinton was actually a bad guy because DADT and it's repeal wasn't a big deal. Or was it because I called insect court out on being a jackass over blood donations? I've lost the narrative thread of what horrible things I've done. I know that I dropped it and walked away because I was asked to but you seem incapable of letting it go. So again if you want to yell at me some more feel free to PM me or an admin about it.
