Republicans: continued

[pErvinalia]

The senate represents the states, not individual voters.

[Svartalf]

I assume that the large population basins that voted massively Dem got democrat senators, problem is the underpopulated states that stayed red, and that are more numerous than the few overpopulated ones.... more red states means more gop senators, even if the dems got more votes nationwide, ... it doesn't matter because the polls are state by state anyway, are there any truly nationwide elections in the country? even presidential ones remain state scale with that borked off electoral college system.

[Scot Dutchy]

I fully realise how the system works all I am saying how totally undemocratic the whole fucking system is and when you get a fucking cunt like Trump saying "I won" it proves he has not got the slightest appreciation that America plays a crooked game in politics.

House conservatives protest LGBT protection in Mexico-Canada trade deal
By ALEXANDER PANETTA and LAUREN GARDNER 11/16/2018 12:49 PM EST
Protections in the new North American trade pact for LGBTQ people are roiling conservative lawmakers in the House, who are urging President Donald Trump to rescind them.

They are displeased that the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement contains requirements that workers be protected from discrimination on the basis of sex, including sexual orientation and gender identity.

They could always suggest that the protection will only be given to those who prominently wear a pink triangle...

It's ridiculous that in this dayandage the civil inequality of LGBTQ people continues to be enshrined by a party claiming to represent the interests of the citizenry. But then again, pragmatically pandering to bigotry is far easier than actually standing for something on principle.

Since the alphabet soup of kinky kids reached it's unity, we don't have to worry about it anymore.

Men are women if they say they are. Women are men if they say they are.

With this so clear, and true, why would discrimination based on sex or gender even matter? The only way one can tell which you are is if you tell them...

Surrounded by the skyscrapers that tower over Times Square, a new billboard went up this week that in large black letters reads: “NO GAYS ALLOWED.” Just below, a smaller message states: “STOP Alliance Defending Freedom. Learn more at NoGays.org.”

The billboard is part of a new campaign that aims to draw attention to the conservative Christian legal group Alliance Defending Freedom, or ADF, which has been labeled an anti-LGBTQ “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a designation the group disputes. Since its founding nearly 25 years ago, ADF has been linked to efforts seeking to criminalize homosexuality, restrict transgender people’s access to sex-segregated facilities and permit businesses to deny service to LGBTQ people.

Caleb Cade, a spokesman for Citizens for Transparency, the advocacy group behind the campaign, said the powerful nonprofit law group has fought for years to undermine lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer rights, often behind the scenes.

“We want to remind people that there are still really insidious forces at work against our community,” Cade told NBC News. “ADF has been leading that war for a long time, with tens of millions of dollars to do it.”

I really, truly don't get why you're so concerned with how other people live their lives. Do you have any idea?

I never cared when we all kept it to ourselves. This new trend, however, includes some things (like 'drag queen kids') which are a bit beyond my comfort zone. I don't like how much this 'trans-kids' trend is similar to the 'pray the gay away' trend from a few years ago.

Why should my government recognize more than one gender? If more than one, why?

[pErvinalia]

The "why" could be that certain genders are discriminated against, hence the need to recognise them in addressing that discrimination.

[Scot Dutchy]

Just pitiful but that is the right wing: "Do as we say not do as we do".

The government can't discriminate based on gender - unless they recognize more than one gender.

If someone wants to declare a different gender, that can be kept between them and their sex partners. It IS a rather intimate matter, after all.

[Brian Peacock]

Confusing sexual intimacy and gender much there Cunt? And the idea that there'll be no gender discrimination if we just don't mention or acknowledge gender is interesting, but bollocks.

Are you willing to tell me what the difference is between gender and sex?

A persons gender is their own business, as it relates to their sex preferences (as opposed to the fact of their sex)

Why should I be asked to pay attention or respect to someone elses private kinks?
