Only the majority group in any situation (whether it's white people, Christians in the West, straight people, etc) get that privilege of individuality, where they don't have to be held accountable for things other people in their group do.Gosh, reading your words is like reading the words of my Siamese twin. I an forget all the superficial ways we are different.
It's like the N-word "double standard". Once again, a few black people saying the N-word in a rap song suddenly means "black people say the N-word so it's ok for me to say it too!". How old are we, 7? Why do you want to say it so bad? Why? think about that...
Yes, this is exactly like the use of the N-word. It's just an excuse where none is really needed because since when have White people needed Black people's permission to do anything? With the history of the KKK and the Arian Brotherhood and all the burnings and lynchings and rapings and beatings, now all of a sudden it's, "Well you did it in Baltimore so it's okay for us to do it now."
There's something disingenuous about that.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
