Why would they do such a thing
Oh sure ! That’s going to help :rolleyes:
I’m going to start spitting in people’s faces, then asking them to be my friends. Seems logical.
Well, sure it’ll help, because all gays are into leather and drag, so now the people of Amsterdam are more educated on the subject.
Or, you know, not.
I defy you to justify equating what they did with actually spitting in someone’s face.
Oh, big whoop. I’ve seen just as offensive lampoonish stuff from the straight community.
That’s not the point. Is it going to help the gay community ?
People get pretty worked up about their religious mythology.
ETA: and Jesus Christ, some people nitpick the dumbest shit.
Well, I thought it was funny. But then, I’m a pro-gay atheist so I’m probably not the best person to judge.
I think maybe the Christian offenderati need to lighten up.
Sure, why not? It advertises Amsterdam as a gay capital and facilitates a feeling of solidarity. The only people who are going to be offended are those who are unreachable homophobes anyway.
Okay, bit will this event help ?
Dumbasses. Fucking idiots.
Well, I’m offended because all this is going to do is stir up shit and raise the level of homophobia.
Like I said, I don’t see why not. I don’t think it will hurt. Does it affect your own opinion about gay rights? Do you think it proves anything about gay people? What moron would?
You’re offended because people will be offended?
I honestly don’t think it creates more homophobes.
Look, gay rights is not the issue in Amsterdam. But gays want to be socially accepted without reservation. Good and all, but you don’t get there by deliberately offending people.
Well, it works for PETA.
Or not.
Thanks for clearing that up. I thought maybe you were offended because it was making some aspect of your “Canadian culture” butthurt.
If they wanted a gay Mary and Joseph, wouldn’t it have made more sense for them both to be women, rather than both being men?
