New Mozilla CEO resigns over anti-gay views

Is Joe Manchin's Plenty of Fish account still active?

 

Can you explain to me how someone can be anti-gay marriage without being anti-gay?

And if you don't believe the needle is moving toward my position that being anti gay marriage is akin to the opposition to interracial marriage 60 years ago then you aren't paying attention.

 

YF, you're funny when you feign indignance upon finding out that politicians are full of shit.

 

I know politicians are full of shit.

What I'd like to point out is that folks like bigpern are also full of shit, unless they swear of the Democrat party until folks like Pryor and Manchin are drummed out.

It's not so brave to boycott a product you don't use, while still voting for a party that includes Pryor and Manchin.

 

Wrong. If gay rights supporters don't support the Democratic Party, even if it isn't perfect, they will by default helping the Republican Party, which has an actively anti-gay agenda. So, no, I'm not full of shit by supporting that Party that has a much stronger record on gay rights and pretending otherwise is asinine.

And since I live in neither Arkansas nor West Virginia, I have no say in whether Pryor or Manchin represent those states.

 

It's too easy to deflect by calling out GOP idiocy.

I vote blue most of the time but some of the truest blues I know are as ugly as the Tea's when it comes defending their party or attacking the other.

 

It's not deflection, it's fact. In the current political climate, you can support Republicans, Democrats or basically throw your vote away. So when I'm given a choice between the party that actively tries to deny gays their civil rights and the party that largely - if imperfectly - supports gay rights, I'm going to vote for the one that supports my position.

 

I'm not saying not to vote your party. I'm saying that for once I'd love to hear a true blue blast his own party for the kind of shit he blasts the GOP for. Just once. Dems (of which I am one) are so fucking scared to call out one of their own. Appease me. Once.

 

Very brave Pern.

I'm sure Pryor and Manchin appreciate your support.

 

You can't be serious with this.

Today must be your first day on Earth if you think this is how political discourse works in 2014.

 

I'm not sure what you think I have to do with Pryor and Manchin. I can't vote for them, I can't vote them out of office.

My senators and representatives have strong records on gay rights and I'm proud to support them.

 

Let's be honest, Pern would not support a party that had sitting Senators, in good standing, who were against a woman's right to vote, or who were against inter-racial marriage. He just wouldn't. That would be a step to far.

But, he will vote for a party in which Park Pryor and Joe Manchin are Senators in good standing, and will receive party support in their re-election bids.

Therefore, we can conclude that Pern doesn't really believe the issues to be equivalent.
