It's likely we'll never see an atheist POTUS in our lifetime; votes are far more likely to vote for a gay POTUS, according to polls. Gay people CAN legally get married. TF are you talking about?Voters would probably vote for a guy in the taliban rather than an atheist, lol..but there's no law stating that atheists -can't- be president.
Yes, prj..gay people -can- get married...now. The mobilization and organization of lgbt groups made that happen.
Quote:I know plenty of atheists who DO treat their atheism as a huge part of their identity and use it to define their place in society. I also know more than a few gay/bisexual people who don't treat their sexuality as a huge part of their identity. It's a person-to-person thing. All I'm saying is I PERSONALLY don't get into all the acronyms and what not (not that I won't use them), what I do get into is respecting myself and those around me and the condescending attitudes some people having towards the LGBT community show that they have anything BUT respect for marginalized peoples.OFC the groups are being delegitimized. The comment you just made was explicitly delegitimizing. You don't know wtf this bizarreness is all about, you just get on with your life. I appreciate that you might not see that. I;ve been watching this little sabotage play out as an observer for the last few years. Dems have very competently been made to eat their own.
No one is "delegitimizing" gay, bi or trans people. And even if I was espousing a "conservative view," which I don't think I am, what's the issue with that? What is with this "all or nothing" attitude people have about politics nowadays? From past experience with you, I have zero interest in getting into a ten-page pissing match with you, but what you're saying is nonsense.
Quote:I treat everyone with respect, regardless of sexuality or belief.That's great, not everyone does..and more to the point..some groups find themselves under more than just street level asshattery - but systemic disenfranchisement. That, in that situation, they rallied around a header and with each other to effect change was great. Atheists should probably try it out, but we're pretty much a herd of cats so I don't think it'll materialize anytime soon.
