Do you enjoy some of them?

Or that simply because I'm not privy to the party membership benefits they don't exist. After all, it's your list and a good portion of it will be specific to your situation and your culture. My list would be different...and probably shorter.

(ah public transportation..I actually miss that, limited as it is in the states.)

I'm interested. Do you mind if I ask you which of these apply to you, phrased as lacks of the privileges listed?:

You are seen as an abnormality, mentally deficient or disgusting person because you're straight.

You are less likely to get hired and more likely to be fired because you're straight.

You're not assumed to be the 'standard person' because of your skin colour.

You're more likely to be incarcerated, falsely accused of committing a crime, serving on average higher sentences than other people, and being the subject of police brutality because of your skin colour.


Not going through the whole list. Just trying to make a point, to be honest.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
