When did I say you called me a racist?
I don't believe I did, so NO, I did not lie.

Let's see...you've said I am in a sad state, challenged my courage, and insinuated I am a racist. And that's just off the top of my head. I am sure there are a few other personal insults I've forgotten.
I haven't made this personal -- you have.

So ... I didn't call you a racist then? You lied about it?

Straight white males don't get refused housing just because they are straight white males. But in some states, gay and trans people can legally be refused housing just because they are gay/trans. You obviously don't have a problem with that. I do.

LGBT can be fired for no reason. And of course, day by day, Republcian States are desperately trying to chip away at marriage equality.
There would be no need for Civil Rights Acts or protected classes if there wasn't discrimination. We see it here on a daily basis, racism, sexism, nativism, homophobia, etc. and usually from the VERY FOLKS who are so desperately trying to deny that there are any issues with discrimination for anyone EXCEPT White Straight Men.
It'd be funny if it weren't so sad.

Why should every LGBT think they get fired for their sexuality?
originally posted by: ParasuvO
Sounds like you think all LGBT should have more than equal rights to make up for all the suffering they go through so they can suck at their jobs.
originally posted by: ParasuvO
Stop making up excuses for people looking and sounding like fools and then wondering why they get fired.

The ones who actually ACT equal do not have that problem.

He can't. We both know the ideology of the party's completely reversed roles as the nineteenth century become the twentieth and those rolls were solidified by actions in the fifties and sixties. They know the left stands for equality and acceptance and that the right stands for intolerance and preserving the status of citizens based on how light their skin is.

No we didn't. The Revolutionary War was fought because a bunch of smugglers didn't want to pay taxes on corporate products they were forced to buy because they were sponsored by the British government. A good portion of the colonies didn't even want to fight the war until Franklin ran his propaganda campaign to unite the colonies, and even then they still had trouble drumming up support for the war.

Cherry-Picking for the win!
1964 was a result of painting Goldwater as a racist because he didn't think the government should tell people who they could and could not cater to, even though he strongly supported civil rights in general and supported the removal of Jim Crow laws (notably put in place by Democrats).
