"The Trump administration is launching a global campaign to end the criminalization of homosexuality in dozens of nations where it's still illegal to be gay...."

NBC reports:
U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell, the highest-profile openly gay person in the Trump administration, is leading the effort, which kicks off Tuesday evening in Berlin. The U.S. embassy is flying in LGBT activists from across Europe for a strategy dinner to plan to push for decriminalization in places that still outlaw homosexuality — mostly concentrated in the Middle East, Africa and the Caribbean.

“It is concerning that, in the 21st century, some 70 countries continue to have laws that criminalize LGBTI status or conduct,” said a U.S. official involved in organizing the event....

Narrowly focused on criminalization, rather than broader LGBT issues like same-sex marriage, the campaign was conceived partly in response to the recent reported execution by hanging of a young gay man in Iran, the Trump administration’s top geopolitical foe....

“This is not the first time the Iranian regime has put a gay man to death with the usual outrageous claims of prostitution, kidnapping, or even pedophilia. And it sadly won’t be the last time,” Grenell wrote. “Barbaric public executions are all too common in a country where consensual homosexual relationships are criminalized and punishable by flogging and death.”
Excellent.

Can we get something like this for Trump?

Saying that believing you're a woman does not make you a woman is not being "pretty fucking judgmental." It is stating a plain truth. An individual person's worth is based on their own character and behavior, not on their group identity.

Yes, no color judgments. The attribute(s) are significant, but low information, and only relevant in a limited context, which unless there is probable cause of imminent or immediate risk, dose not preclude life, [dignity], liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and I would suggest reconciliation. The latter is, for example, significant, when men and women compete with markedly different physiological profiles correlated with sex.

Note to the Normal: No right-wing position is ever grounded in logic. Reason has nothing to do with the right or conservatism.

All you have to do is determine the fear (or disgust) that led to their position and psychoanalyze the fuck out of it.

People can't be reasoned out of things they never reasoned themselves into. You must instead identify what emoted them into their hard-core belief.

Do not do that all-caps thing again. It's unreadable. I will delete in the future.

Also don't put in extra paragraph spaces, including putting a third paragraph break when going from paragraph to paragraph. Attention-getting formatting is not permitted, other than normal things like italics and some boldface (but not putting your whole comment in boldface).

Use your words to hold readers, not special trickery. It looks bad and it's on my website. If you want to do formatting stuff to get attention, take it to your own blog. I don't want to see it here and will delete.

In fact, I will delete it now.

This gay guy makes a lot of sense.

“Too many times, we try to turn “community” into “mutiny.” Rather than embrace all the colors of the rainbow and j’adore every type of person that’s included in our patchwork, we turn on each other by acting superior to our brothers and sisters, treating the other LGBTs as somehow less deserving of rights and respect than our own particular niche group is. We can be our own worst enemy!

It was as if anyone fighting for a piece of the American pie somehow felt they had to slime the other sectors in order to demand their portion. In this case, the loathing is tinged with self-loathing, because we happen to be smearing members of our own community. Perhaps having grown up with shame about being LGBT, we exercise that feeling by lobbing prejudice against our own kind. Sometimes it’s a means of deflecting our own oppression by ganging up on our comrades. And there’s even animus within each of the LGBT letters!”

As for segregation in jails/ prisons, are you comparing the troops with convicts/ criminals?

No, I am saying that the military, like jails and prisons and competitive sports, is sex segregated. If you're going to have sex segregation, then you need to have a manner of identifying one's sex. In that case, we use biology and not self-perception.

Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD or APD) is a personality disorder characterized by a long term pattern of disregard for, or violation of, the rights of others. A low moral sense or conscience is often apparent, as well as a history of crime, legal problems, or impulsive and aggressive behavior.[3][4]

Antisocial personality disorder is defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Dissocial personality disorder (DPD), a similar or equivalent concept, is defined in the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD), which includes antisocial personality disorder in the diagnosis. Both manuals provide similar criteria for diagnosing the disorder.[5] Both have also stated that their diagnoses have been referred to, or include what is referred to, as psychopathy or sociopathy, but distinctions have been made between the conceptualizations of antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy, with many researchers arguing that psychopathy is a disorder that overlaps with, but is distinguishable from, ASPD.[6][7][8][9][10]

But serving personal body-guard duty for the emir of Kuwait doesn't sound like a very noble American goal for me. Not nationally, anyway. If he wants to offer premium pay however that might be different. Send in some actual body guards.

"Farmer's male identity is very precious to him. It's his precious!"

It is. There is a lot vested in such an identity. It got a peculiar cachet.
It comes from, ultimately, a sense of special purpose.
A male is a male because he is expendable.

It is that Bushido "Death is lighter than a feather" thing.
Its the "Birkenhead Drill".

A woman needs to live, to be what she has to be, to bear children.
But a man is only a proper man if he holds his life cheap.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Antisocial personality disorder is defined by a pervasive and persistent disregard for morals, social norms, and the rights and feelings of others.[3] Individuals with this personality disorder will typically have no compunction in exploiting others in harmful ways for their own gain or pleasure and frequently manipulate and deceive other people, achieving this through wit and a façade of superficial charm or through intimidation and violence.[11] They may display arrogance, think lowly and negatively of others, and lack remorse for their harmful actions and have a callous attitude to those they have harmed.[3][4] Irresponsibility is a core characteristic of this disorder: they can have significant difficulties in maintaining stable employment as well as fulfilling their social and financial obligations, and people with this disorder often lead exploitative, unlawful, or parasitic lifestyles.[3][4][12][13]

Those with antisocial personality disorder are often impulsive and reckless, failing to consider or disregarding the consequences of their actions. They may repeatedly disregard and jeopardize their own safety and the safety of others and place themselves and others in danger.[3][4][14] They are often aggressive and hostile and display a disregulated temper and can lash out violently with provocation or frustration.[3][13] Individuals are prone to substance abuse and addiction, and the abuse of various psychoactive substances is common in this population. These behaviors lead such individuals into frequent conflict with the law, and many people with ASPD have extensive histories of antisocial behavior and criminal infractions stemming back before adulthood.[3][4][12][13]

Serious problems with interpersonal relationships are often seen in those with the disorder. Attachments and emotional bonds are weak, and interpersonal relationships often revolve around the manipulation, exploitation, and abuse of others.[3] While they generally have no problems in establishing relationships, they may have difficulties in sustaining and maintaining them.[12] Relationships with family members and relatives are often strained due to their behavior and the frequent problems that these individuals may get into.

Why would they want to work there anyway? Seems they would be happy not to work there.

Certainly they would not like being forced to work there. But that's the thing about freedom of association. Nobody is forced to work especially with others who are fundamentally in opposition to each other.

For instance, it does not bother me one bit that the Democrats or some pro-abortion group would never hire me. I would never work for them -- even if it meant starving.

Think of it as the Inverse Rule for Republicans. This Rule allows Democrats to "evolve" (or not, whatever) and never get called on it. Meanwhile, republicans get no credit for anything they do that results in a positive outcome.

The left/LLR's have been putting this framework in place for decades. Hence, Reagan and Thatcher and the Pope had nothing to do with Soviet Union over-extending itself and collapsing. Nope. According to the lefties/LLR's/Hollywood it was all Charlie Wilson's doing........

Its important that history be rewritten daily in the most efficient way possible to allow the lefties/LLR's to launch the new day's lefty talking points.

"It really does boggle the mind when one hears a gay person expressing a willingness to ostracize a transgender person."

It boggles the mind that in this enlightened age one can equate homosexuality with mental illness.

Yes, Trump's initiative trolls Muzzies and the Left simultaneously. Heightening the contradictions is one of the old boy's specialties.

"WTF? He was pro-gay marriage long before either Hillary or Obama was."

Facts don't matter to these people.

They really don't.

Anytime I post on my Oregon buddy’s FB Wall, The Hitler/Racist shit flies.

I dropped this bad boy in there a couple of hours ago and crickets.

He told Rogan that Metallica has traditionally veered away from political messages in its music and will continue to do so even now given the polarized climate in the country.

'We stay away from politics [and] from religion,' Hetfield says.

'That just seems to polarize people even more. We all have our own beliefs, but at the end of the day, we're trying to connect with people and it seems like political views don't do that as much as music does.'

No lefty heads will be exploding as we know full well the disengenuous nature of this pandering.

This person believes Trump is colluding with Russia because Putin has proof Trump had hookers pee on a bed that Obama slept in.

This person believes Brett Kavanaugh is a gang rapist.

This person believes that Nick Sandmann is a horrible racist who attacked a noble native american and some kind black guys at a rally.

This person believes Sclise deserved to get shot because he supports the NRA.

This person believes Trump supporters are all racist because someone attacked Jussie Smollet.

This person believes Trump supporters are all racist because an Occupy Wall street organizer organized a white supremacist rally and HEATHER HEYER!

There is no shortage of stupid lies this idiot believes.

Trump has been pro-gay marriage for decades and openly supportive of the gay community for
a very long time like a lot of us have.

Inga is the definition of disingenuous.

“The contortions you'll go through to maintain your worldview really is a wonderment.”

I’ve many times thought this exact thing...about you folks. In fact I usually call it twisting yourselves into pretzels.

Too late, it would appear.

That cover is ridiculous! My god, so much journalism became hot garbage.

JAORE said...

Seems like we had this conversation the other day, but it concerned a 'Q' not an 'I'. What does 'I' signify? Inclusiveness??

Inconceivable.

Trump is the worst!

Worst homophobe ever.
Worst war monger ever.
Worst Russian puppet ever.
Worst Klansman ever.
Worst Nazi ever.
[And more.]

Where is Barry’s book? Didn’t he get paid a jillion dollars like his little woman to write one? What a rip-off

Bob Loblaw said...

It never made any sense to me - this Trump being anti-gay - that the left has been howling about even before the election.

Like every guy his age, he's made a few gay jokes. But he's from New York, fer Chrissake, and he was a Democrat until about five minutes before the election. Anybody who thinks Trump is "anti-gay" is an idiot.

Renee said...

The most extreme LGBT loud mouths I know aren't even gay, simply straight progressives that use any LGBT issue to whine and moan about Chistians. I individuals I know who are gay are pretty a-political.

Otherwise while I wouldn't suggest criminalization of men who have sex with men, anyone can review the data from the CDC and realize this isn't healthy behavior. Note: I prefer to say men who have sexual contact with men,because it dealing with an act not orientation. But even CDC has trouble culturally staring to abstain from the behavior.

Homosexuals run the gamut from hyper-masculine to hyper-feminine and everything in between.

As do heterosexuals one might add.

Indeed.

"Let's face it: Anal sex is painful, unsanitary, and disgusting." Not as much as statism. Of course if Big Brother asked for it, sado-masochistic "liberals: like the ones who post here (you know who you are) would assume the position immediately . . . while telling themselves, probably, "It's for the Common Good!"
