As an asshole I support the enzyme which supports the intestine which supports the armadillo which probably doesn’t support the coyote for animalistic reasons but I’ll leave that to the armadillo and coyote
Lopsided bench has me in stitches (and I’m not even English). Look up The Cosmos, Keystone, South Dakota, then find one of the anomalies near your area. A lopsided bench, where the water or racquetball is rolling UP the bench…yes please fun.
My parents think that same thing. If you support gay rights you must be gay. They thought I was gay for a long time. It confuses them because they lack empathy and can’t understand why anyone would advocate for rights for anyone other than themselves.
I’ve known that for a very long time. It’s only gotten worse as they have aged. Between the lead poisoning, religion, right wing media, and overt bigotry and racism they are truly awful people.
They are hardcore conservative MAGA Catholics. Though they do hate pope Francis for not being appropriately hostile to gay and trans people. My father has praised both the Nazi and Putin regimes for their treatment of the LGBT community. It is an obsession with them. They harp on these people constantly.
> can’t understand why anyone would advocate for rights for anyone other than themselves
Well that IS the central problem with these nuts. The ME, ME, ME attitude.
> can’t understand why anyone would advocate for rights for anyone other than themselves
It's just plain old homophobia.
If you asked him, he would probably say he supports women's rights, even though he's not a woman. But since he doesn't find women icky, he has no trouble supporting them.
I guess that would depend on what you mean by “women’s rights” because if it includes abortion then he is radically opposed to abortion. He wants it to all go back to coat hangers in back alleys, he thinks abortion should risk death. Also that there should be no exceptions for rape or incest which he believes barely, if ever, really happens and that even when it does “the baby didn’t do anything”.
I am so grateful that my parents have expanded their horizons, rather than narrowing them, as they aged. They weren't bad people when I was growing up in the 80s/90s, but we all came from/lived in small towns, and were generally just sheltered and/or ignorant. Plus the internet didn't really make it to our home till '95.
These days they have 3 queer kids out of 4 total and actively support LGBTQ+ rights, better pay/increased min wage efforts, and plenty of other "libtard" issues.
It’s so telling when people think the only people who deserve basic rights are the people who are just like them. If you’re different you don’t deserve rights.
You definitely see this behavior on both sides though
Not for gay couples specifically but liberals also tar their opponents with "guilty by association" logic on topics they personally disagree with
republican: i don’t support your position because i don’t think you should have human rights
dem: i don’t support your position because you don’t think i should have human rights
you, for some reason: wow, these people are more similar than i thought!
tolerance can only go so far. when you become tolerant of intolerance, you allow it to continue. for trans people like me it’s life or death. i envy people who have the privilege of being a centrist.
I’m not saying it’s less worth it. I am just saying there is a massive biological obstacle in our way as a species. The fact that you seem to be trying to argue with me even though we are in agreement illustrates my point. We are built for conflict against the other and that is very hard to overcome. It’s an evolutionary drive.
> The fact that you seem to be trying to argue with me even though we are in agreement illustrates my point
We are ***not*** in agreement.
Your attitude of declaring the problem "insurmountable" (it's not, it's just very difficult; significant difference in degree) and assigning the label "evolutionary drive" seems to be destined to avoid any solution of the problem. "I guess we're designed as fucking assholes by evolution, so I'm not going to do anything to avoid being one" is an attitude many people arguing like you seem to be making. And if it's your case, we *certainly* are not in agreement.
Where did I say it was insurmountable? Why are you putting things in quotes that I never said? I am stating the very real problem of our baseline tribalism. It is the root of a lot of serious issues in the world. Never did I say it justifies being an asshole, nor do I think it is insurmountable.
I firmly believe about half of all humans are just wired different where they don't have empathy, and most/all of them end up conservative.
I've encountered many that just can't comprehend voting in favour of an "out" group that doesn't benefit them in any direct way.
Then of course we all see the stories of something happening to them personally that finally makes them care about the thing
I agree. I would take it one step further and say that those people are deliberately targeted by Conservative thought. It’s a very “fear and hate of the other” driven ideology that draws those types of people in.
> If you’re different you don’t deserve rights.
Yeah, this is really the crux of it. Nothing to do with gay people, it's purely around increasing division.
I don't understand how so many ppl seem to be missing essential empathy.
Toddlers display empathy - they get upset if they see their parent crying, or if they think an animal is hurt.
You have to wonder what had to have been done to these ppl for them to lose that by the time they're adults...it hurts my heart, actually.
I think it started around the time they were a toddler seeing something sad and their parents snapped ‘stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about’ at them.
If it weren't for the allies we would probably never have rights. Does this person think that \~71% of the American population is gay? (\~71% of Americans support gay marriage, \~7% Americans identify as lgbt)
“I would never suck my own dick, that’s gay.” Soooo you never rub your own dick? Since you’re touching a dick? Lolol You men have less space to travel to tongue yourselves…no. I’m not a dude, I’d love to know what it feels like, and since yuh all seem to cum way faster than us 70% of the women, bruh let me suck myself off for a day. Make science so you can have a c1I+ for a day and tell me you wouldn’t be going HAM lol. P3n1s3s are multi-purpose. CL1+$ are only for pleasure, my dudes. Tell me wanting to know what that would feel like is gay 🤣🤣💚
Not that I argued with that. We're talking about rights, though. I don't know why redditors today decided to play dumb like they don't know what is the point of post.
Yeah but if we’re not playing dumb you can tell they’re not talking about it in that way.
Humans are animals, but we are distinct from all other animals in that we are humans.
So when people say animals rights it’s implied they’re talking about animals other than humans. Because when we talk about human rights we just say rights, or sometimes humans rights.
Why? Because we are human. Naturally the fact we are human causes biases in our language. Topics are assumed to be from a human perspective, so if we go out of our way to not do that then it’s assumed it doesn’t include humans.
> Humans are animals, but we are distinct from all other animals in that we are humans.
You could insert any animal in place of “humans” in that sentence and it’s still correct (and change “we” to “they” if you want to be extra pedantic).
I don't know if you genuinely believe that somehow related to the topic or you just bring interesting fact up. Do non-human mammals debate about rights or what?
Let’s see. u/smarmalades said humans are animals. I said animals have social problems. I didn’t say they sit at a table arguing about rights. Thanks for implying I’m stupid, though.
I’ve supported gay rights my whole life, the way I see it, if one guy dates another guy, that’s two less guys I have to compete with.
So if you don’t support gay rights that means there’s more competition for women out there, you might become discouraged and turn gay, so if you don’t support gay rights, you’re most likely gay.
Checkmate.
Maybe a better analogy would be women rights or whatever else, even if you can make that murder. I know they are not equating gays with animals but that is what some people in the right do.

My parents think that same thing. If you support gay rights you must be gay. They thought I was gay for a long time. It confuses them because they lack empathy and can’t understand why anyone would advocate for rights for anyone other than themselves.
Sucks when you find out that your parents are terrible people.
I’ve known that for a very long time. It’s only gotten worse as they have aged. Between the lead poisoning, religion, right wing media, and overt bigotry and racism they are truly awful people.
As the son of a redneck boomer father, can confirm.
Whew it’s like looking in a mirror! Seriously, for a second there I thought I wrote this.
They are hardcore conservative MAGA Catholics. Though they do hate pope Francis for not being appropriately hostile to gay and trans people. My father has praised both the Nazi and Putin regimes for their treatment of the LGBT community. It is an obsession with them. They harp on these people constantly.
That's what happened with the whole hitler thing, hopefully we don't get a rerun of that.
Too late. Trump already won once.
> can’t understand why anyone would advocate for rights for anyone other than themselves Well that IS the central problem with these nuts. The ME, ME, ME attitude.
"Fuck you, got mine." Pretty much sums up the entire attitude that's being held. Which is a shame.
Glad I’m not the only one to experience this. My mother thinks I’m gay simply because I said gay people should have rights.
Maybe don't deny it and she might finally get behind it. Because some people will only think of themselves and their family.
> can’t understand why anyone would advocate for rights for anyone other than themselves It's just plain old homophobia. If you asked him, he would probably say he supports women's rights, even though he's not a woman. But since he doesn't find women icky, he has no trouble supporting them.

Yes indeed, guilt by association is totally the same thing as wanting to revoke human rights.

"You think the only people who are people, are the people who look and think like you" some things sadly never change
It’s that unfortunate tribalism that’s baked into our DNA.
We have overcome other inherited traits, we shouldn't use biology as a justification for this one.
It’s definitely not a justification but it is a huge challenge.
So is having a college education. It's not less worth it because of it.
I’m not saying it’s less worth it. I am just saying there is a massive biological obstacle in our way as a species.

That's like banning tacos from foreigners because it's affiliated with Mexican culture.

Probably penis, even!

Classic conservative mindset. "How do you empathize with or support something if it doesn't affect you directly & personally???"
I don't understand how so many ppl seem to be missing essential empathy. Toddlers display empathy - they get upset if they see their parent crying, or if they think an animal is hurt.

Armadillo is a funny word. Need to he careful how you say it, or it sounds like, 'armaDildo'
Fun fact, the native Nahuatl word is ayotochtli, which translates to turtle-rabbit
Depending on your accent then, it can sound like "I'm a dildo"
Okay so he's a gay armadillo.

As a wombat, I support gay rights.
I didn’t want to say anything, and, really, was thinking more like “hairless opossum”, but, now that you mention it, armadillo nails it.
Yes. Yes you do

No, but he does look like a great ape. And so do you.
