    No we're not, still by a long shot. There are many states where it's still legal to fire us on basis of sexuality. Two states are fighting right now to incorporate laws that allow discrimination in services by sexuality. It wasn't until just a year ago that we could even get married on a federal basis.

    There should be no places. Everyone should be on the same level regardless of sexuality, skin color, culture, or creed.
    Which is why straight people are forbidden to be proud. Because you decided they were better.

    I don't know why I have to keep explaining this.

    No one said you can't be proud of being white, male, and/or straight. No one.

    All we said is that creating a platform for straight white male civil rights is offensive when you're not facing persecution and you're already the top dog.

    It seems there is some problem with reading abilities in the Internet culture. I didn't say that nothing was wrong, I said that the event was, first, insignificant in the grand scheme of things, and second, the falsely accused in rape was found innocent and is currently making a case against the girl to restore his damaged reputation. Obama's position on this has zero relevance, as he doesn't have the authority to influence the case in any way.

    Fucking amazing. Are YOU white?
    You aren't even trying to understand his point... You just keep repeating the same sarcastic sentences over and over.

    If I posted what I want to post, I would get banned. So let's just leave it at: LOL.

    It's sad when people equate "something similar happened to me for completely unrelated reasons" to discrimination and think it's all okay. No, it's okay, because I, too, was fired from a job for something stupid, and that's the same as being fired for being black or gay or Jewish. It's completely, utterly, 100% the same.

    No one is talking about individual persecution but rather systemic from culture/society and government. Stop trying to match the two up. They're not the same thing.

    I am a white male, and I was bullied when at high school. Guess what, there are groups fighting bullying. I've never been picked on for being a heterosexual though, and I haven't heard of anyone who has. I fail to see how some people do not see the difference between LGBT and homosexual pride days... I don't mind either of them, but to claim that they serve exactly the same purpose is to deny reality.

    Can you even read? I specifically explained how gays aren't proud of anything.

    Also, fun fact, in my personal experience, there are more effeminate straight guys I've run into than gay ones. Many more. So... Yeah... Way to be stupidly stereotypical.

    Wow! See this is the problem. A person who says he was fired "based on bullshit" and cannot get the context of being fired over for your sexual preference.

    I mean how can you really have a conversation when people say "I got fired for stealing boxes". It must be the same as being fired for discrimination.

    I'm sorry to hear that. It's an unfortunate consequence of at-will employment in a lot of states (aside from protected classes), which leaves little recourse.

    But isn't that kind of a problematic mindset? Don't like it move. Eventually there will be places where not a single person can live peacefully because of some outdated law. What's wrong with fighting against it if you want to live where you currently live?
