Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Every group under the sun has haters. Pointing out some of the reasons why a group would be hated is just that.. pointing out reasons. Do I hate people who intentionally spread HIV? Yep, does that mean I hate any particular group they belong to? Nope.
No, of course you don't hate them, you just think people are justified in hating them as long as they are in public. Don't you know people will just get over their biases if other people never confront them and they never see the people they hate? We just have to make every disliked minority disappear from public view and the bigots will magically get over it.
Don't you remember when black people gained equal rights in the law by disappearing from public for a while? It was only when they stopped being so in your face about their mistreatment that the bigots accepted them and gave them rights, right?
Why don't people like you have the fucking balls to just say what you think? Why is it always this, "Oh I'd be fine with them if they'd stop asking for me to be fine with them" kind of wishy-washy bullshit. Just fucking grow a pair and say you don't like seeing gay people in public because you think they are gross and weird.
Again, distancing language while still perpetuating the same shitty rhetoric of "disease spreaders". Pitiful.
Various forms of homosexuality account for roughly a tenth of the population, more or less. Only about 80% of people identify
You know spreading HIV on purpose is a severe crime in most of the world, right? Weird how you're not talking about how "as long as men continue their toxic masculinity in the guise of 'football matches', people will continue to hate them". Did you know there are men who purposefully kill other people? 'serial killers' they're called."
And there's a whole lot more killers than there are people spreading HIV on purpose. And you won't even believe this, there's a whole fucking culture (not even a subculture, but a culture) of making documentaries, tv-shows and podcasts about these 'serial killers'.
So that's why ~~I...~~ everyone except definitely not me hates men.
No you're not. You're listing your own personal rationalisations for your personal homophobia. And oh boy...
