Tennessee City Has Banned Being Gay In Public

I don’t think they will be “targeted” per se, and overall I wouldn’t really disagree with @TBayXXXVII’s point that while the police may get frivolous complaints based on the law, hopefully the police themselves don’t act on it, but you never know, which is part of the reason why it’s probably better if the wording is updated.  But really I’d think fielding calls from homophobes would not be a good use of taxpayer funds.

If OP came on the board, and his backup man @u.k., said we think this law is reasonable, but the wording could cause problems, then a reasonable discussion can take place.  But, the starting point of the thread was Republican's are targeting the LGBTQ community.  At that point, you've hit a brick wall before any discussion starts.  You get a push back directly to the amount of the push.

It literally includes self, hetero, & homo acts.  Only the ignorant don't see that.  I'm sorry you're ignorant.  Try to be better.  

Right back at ya boss. Living in a world that believes there aren't minorities that get targeted more than straight white men must be just intoxicating.

I agree with you, but if we refused to engage in threads with misleading, incorrect or partisan titles, we would never talk about anything interesting. And let's definitely not pretend that Squis and the liberal contingent are guilty of it more than conservatives. Shet, @League Champion by himself tops all the libs on that front.

Creating victims out of thin air when there aren't any must be gratifying to you as well.  You get to showcase how virtuous you are.

Creating victims... like straight white men? I suppose having a smidgen of virtue is better than having none at all. You wouldn't be someone I'd discuss that with, though. You're lacking a frame of reference.

A victim is a victim. I don’t know why you need to talk down about certain people being victimized, as if they can’t be or maybe they deserve it.

Listing "homosexuality" as a behavior seems pretty stupid, and if challenged, likely gets it struck down.

That being said, would somebody need to be arrested for such behavior to have standing to challenge it?   

In theory, yes. Although some cases allow one to challenge a law on the grounds that "chills' their right to free speech or free expressioin.

I think you're lacking common sense.  Stop slurping the propaganda and maybe you'll get some.

I can't help you anymore than that.  I can only lead you to the water, I can't make you drink it.  You seem to prefer the Kool-Aid instead.

Yeah, good luck telling them they can’t act like perverts or else. You seem to think they only ever take the inch. Drag shows are, and have shown to be , sexual. You can’t provide the platform and then hope they don’t act sexual in front of kids.  So you stop it in the first place.  What’s the big deal? No kids. So what? Why is that a point of contention in the first place? Drag shows are adult entertainment. You’re a fool if you say otherwise. 

So "no".  And you b1tch about me being long-winded.

I'm not trying to talk down to anyone that's been victimized. I find it amusing and deeply ironic that the same guys that would pronounce that the application of this law will be completely evenhanded will, in the next breath, tell us about how straight white men are the most persecuted group of people in the US.

I don’t think anyone here has ever said that. But they are sometimes. But it doesn’t rate. You’re so edgy, throwing out the white guy thing despite being a white guy.  I guess you think it ads credibility. It doesn’t.  It makes you look the fool.  “I’m a white guy!”

Go search out some Scum mx posts. He's said it. Others have too, but we both know neither of us is going to do the research, so I'll leave it alone. 

You thinking of me as a fool doesn't rate, either. The rest of your post fails to make a point.

I never said there weren't minorities being targeted, even though there's no law that actually does it... but I do believe individuals do.  That being said, if the Leftists only pointed out when they're being targeted, instead of the OP and his ilk crying foul every chance they get, there'd be a lot more progress.  But no, here we are in a society where the Democrat party exists ONLY because they themselves create victims.  They are the scum of the country and will stay that way until people like you open your eyes and see what's in front of you.

I don’t think you’re a fool. I think  the “white guy” thing is foolish.  Because it is. And you only do it because you think you derive a benefit from it. I’m sure if you were ever victimized you would just shrug your shoulders and think you ought to just take it because you’re white. You would not, but you want others to.

Actually you can.  The technique is known as "bricking".  Strip him buck nekid.  Shove his head into a water trough.  While holding his head under water take up a brick in each hand.  Slam the bricks together from either side of his testicles.  He will both inhale and swallow quite sharply as his head comes flying up out of the water.  The technique is used to "top off" camels before an extreme desert trek. Happy to help.

Not sure what benefit you think I'm getting. Almost everyone is a victim at some point in their lives, and I wouldn't encourage them to do nothing about it. You are implying that you feel the same. Which is exactly why there is consternation over this bill. People see how easily it can be twisted to target homosexuals, so they're standing up and fighting it.

How did this thread get to 5 pages? The OP, who nobody respects, posted something misleading and it was debunked with the full details within 20 something posts. Yet here we are on page 5.

Don't be silly now.  The righties can't ban you from being gay - they just never want people to act, look, or speak that way around them so they keep trotting out these dumb laws.

True, which is why it will not withstand court challenge and will ultimately be found unconstitutional. NYC tried something like this in the 60s making it illegal to serve alcohol in a bar to a homosexual.

I think most “righties” would agree that if you left children out of this and didn’t force people to disavow biology, there wouldn’t be much of an issue. Or at the least it would be drastically diminished.
