It's disgusting that homosexuality is seen as such an abhorrent thing in this day and age. Are all humans not capable of love? If the answer is a resounding yes, then why are we stopping consenting adults from expressing this? Because of some archaic scripture from thousands of years ago? Excuse my French here, Lebanon, but kindly get to fuck.
This is exactly why the separation of church and state is supposed to exist in democracies. The zealots will continue to take away your rights until morale improves.
I'll just mention that in the middle east the vast majority of people don't support LGBT rights. Bringing up the separation of church and state makes no sense in this context.
They don’t support those rights cause they have been brainwashed by their religion. Maybe if religion was removed from government, that wouldn’t be the case, at least not to this extent.
So what? should you bring your "democracy" over there? It happens in Kuweit (8000km away) for a stupid american movie.
I am rather shocked by the amount of money this dump made, it gives quite an indication on the level of maturity of this f'd up society.
Yes I know, i'm uncool
Hmm, there was a country with the phrase: "In God we trust"
That phrase was added in the 1950s, as right wingers provoked the red scare.
Naw, that’s always been thar since the Christian founders wanted Christ in the consteetooshun!
Don’t try tuh reright histery, commy librel!!1
Yes clearly relevant
US hypocrite, you started yourself seperation of church an State and US didn't do tat
Standard is good behavior, not other people.
One country doing something wrong does not mean that every country gets to be wrong forever.
???, we didn't build concentrationcamps, Nazies did.
So are these facts also misinformation?
Is there a medication you should be on but are not?
Thx for the insult.
Only if you take it that way
1, you accuse me of presenting misinformation about my own country.
2.And then I misplaced my "medicine"
Typical American: (even dedicated YT channels about this), arrogant and dumb.
Prozac would be first suggestion. You cany anger your way out of mental illness
I am such a mental case that I worked for a company that designs and sells machines to make computer chips. I speak 3 languages, and when I got my superior driverlicense I could effortless use manual transmission. But I am still a mental case according to a "smart" American
Like I said, Prozac.
Medical advice from an An4erican with their shit and expensive "healthcare"
For about $130/month => Free MRI, free diabetic shots and free ambulances (even our helicopters)
And you can't get fired if you have too much sickdays.
Can't anger your way out of mental illness.
You can't deny yourself from stupidity and living in a 3d world country.
Deny this

Repetitive statements inability to solve small personal problems. Bipolar would be my guess.
Typical US arrogance ignoring shit in your own country and blaming others.

As a gay man, these are my thoughts every single day. Do I not deserve love? Is some old book really more important than what's happening now? I just don't get it.
It's not about the book, it's not even about sexuality. Yes these are the justifications they use, but at the core it's all about finding someone they can hurt, and they found you. The cruelty is the point.
This seems a bit oversimplified ? I am no scholar, but as far as I can tell it's phobias all the way down : these islamic lawmakers (certainly not using the term muslim here as I reserve it to refer to decent religious people) don't know shit about homosexuality, and as we know ignorance holds the door open for bigotry and hate. This quickly becomes self-perpetuating as gay folks have no way of changing that status quo without risking their lives, and become invisible in these societies. I would say it's about difference, and difference in sexuality certainly
Are you seriously whatabouting countries that regularly arrest and torture queer people for being queer?
Yes we also have to deal with religious fundamentalist. You realize that most of us are fighting them, right?
I think your number is a bit off.
Edit to reflect the true severity or the comment is getting removed for misinformation.
This is the first time I've seen moderation since I joined the fediverse. This guy mustve said something really stupid and moronic lol
