Let's Erase Hate!

Patman said: ↑

Define hate. I mean if you think homosexuality is icky, say talking to an homosexual or seeing them kiss makes you uncomfortable, well that' s fine, it' s not like it' s something you can reason. If however you go out of your way to shun them out or be a vocal ass, based on belief rather than evidence, then that I do have a problem with.

In my country for instance you can only fire someone over a professional fault. You hire people to do a job and, as a boss, how efficiently they do it is the only aspect of their lives that is any of your business. Not that there' s no way to get around it in practice, but I' m still glad things were legiferated this way. Sadly, I heard in the US firing someone over his private life is completely legal, looks like legal discrimination to me.

I also heard that in some US schools teachers aren' t allowed to use the word homosexual, not even in sex ed (if there is any), or that they propose some ridiculous "cure the gay" programs to their students. They' re teachers, in a secular democracy, they' re supposed to be role models. Do I have to elaborate or do you understand why that makes me wanna puke ?

The US also seem to have a big problem with atheists btw, if I am to believe statistics (most distrusted minority in the US). They' re more likely to vote for a gay president. Just count how many openly gay/atheist judges or senators they have, it' s amazing. However there have much more blacks beaten in an alley for being black than they have atheists beaten for being atheists. What I' m getting at is that you don' t have to hate someone (or realize/admit that you actually do) to discriminate him, apathy can be just as damaging as hate.

I suppose that is true. What I am trying to say is that I am not going to physically harm someone because of their beliefs. Nor will I fire anyone (like I even could.) or be rude without any other reason. I don't like to discriminate or be hateful for little to no reason. So the whole "Non acceptance is Hate" thing, kinda stung. Even if that's not what they meant, that's kinda what it felt like. But I get along well with some of these people ( even if they are unaware of my existence) and I would not want to be Hateful to them just because of their sexuality.
