"Outrage" - Documentary Outs Gay Politicians Who Fight Gay Rights
louisev:
I guess if you consider anti-gay-crusading politicians quality of life as more valuable as the lives of male escorts and prostitutes who "aren't men" then that is not a surprise. I don't think of sex workers as less than human, personally.

- I might be willing to concede that these politicians were indeed acting against the interests of sexual minorities IF I could take a look at the legislation that the filmmaker takes issue with. I would like to assess the "damage" they have done to equality of sexual minorities for myself. Then I'll decide about them.
- You know, you really shouldn't be lecturing me about sex workers. I've been around the block. Unless you have either been one, or bought one, you really cannot challenge me on the topic. I don't think of sex workers as less than human either. But I will tell you that some sex workers are real men, and others aren't. The real men would never do what these men have done unless faced with jail time or some such coercion.

I just hope and pray for the day when the word "gay" and "homosexual" is not associated with the word "sex".
I don't like my sexual orientation automatically being connected to some kind of sex object. We are more than that. We are people too.
And we will continue to be associated with sex and sexual objects until gay people STRAIGHTEN UP, and act like the decent human beings we are meant to be.
Okay. Go ahead and fire the flames. I've said it. And I meant it. We'll never achieve any equal rights at all until we begin to act like decent humans. Aren't we decent? Let's show the rest of them! :D

yes you are a decent person. and no you are not all about sex.
you are about taking care of your family and honoring the memories of your ancestors....you are about loving your friends and helping them anyway you can, you are about caring for the planet and all living things on it...you are about enjoying popular culture and spending time having fun..
it is a shame that a handful of loudmouth rude people can ruin a demonstration or get the spotlight while people like you and Brad and Milo are out there every day making a real difference with the people you meet.
