Homophobic School council VP

[Throren]

I know there have been quite a few threads relating to LGBT topics and that some people are sick of them but I really want some opinion on this.

A fellow in my college hear is going to be a VP for our student council for the 014/15 year and since no one else ran for that position, he won unopposed. He will be our external VP, essentially the face of the student council and the student body. Yet the other day this arose on his facebook.

Obviosuly a shitstorm insued and now tons of students are crying for the removal of his future position. Heck they even started a petition to remove him - https://www.change.org/petitions/suc...lege-community

So what do you think on this folks. Should a school group/organization that prides itself in respect and equality for any and all people have this close-minded bigot as the face for our student body or should it be taken away from him?

I think it's a student council and thus has little real importance. In a few years, you'll move on and he'll still be an idiot. Not really worth worrying about.

When taking the role of VP where he represents the students, he has to represent all students not just the ones that don't give him the "creeps".

He is unfit for the role of VP imo but nobody else wanted the job.

So he thinks it's an illness, as many people do. That doesn't make him a bigot.

There's no reason to get huffy about it, and no reason to remove him.

Looks to me he simply doesn't understand.

If you're gay see it as this. You are in the single most important thing in SO many peoples lives because they fear that you will cause the end of humanity. They fear you just because you like the same sex. You're the most feared and powerful thing this universe has ever seen...you are Galactus

Yes it does, homosexuality is not an illness nor a disorder; It makes one bigoted to state it as such, homosexuality is as natural as heterosexuality neither is an illness; It's been observed in nature, and is evident from the sheer size of homosexuals it's not an "Illness" amongst mounds of research furthering the backing agaisnt those crying otherwise.

I'd invite you to further that bigoted view however, and explain how it's an illness.

And yes, this is very obviously grounds to remove him on.

What age group is this? Sounds like the psuedo intellectual crap you get when you're about 15.

[Vilonus]

Guy's obviously an idiot, as homophobes are. But more importantly, did no one notice on that anonymized conversation all the big, black....nevermind.

This is a university student represeentative??? Sort it out Canada, jeez.
EDIT: Thats not fair, by every account his peers are pointing out how much in the wrong he is. Still.

For us, this is not a problem you can turn a blind eye to-one to be solved by small concessions. For us, it is a problem of whether our nation can ever recover its health, whether the Jewish spirit can ever really be eradicated. Don't be misled into thinking you can fight a disease without killing the carrier, without destroying the bacillus. Don't think you can fight racial tuberculosis without taking care to rid the nation of the carrier of that racial tuberculosis. This Jewish contamination will not subside, this poisoning of the nation will not end, until the carrier himself, the Jew, has been banished from our midst.

“. . . the discovery of the Jewish virus is one of the greatest revolutions that has taken place in the world. The battle in which we are engaged today is of the same sort as the battle waged, during the last century, by Pasteur and Koch. How many diseases have their origin in the Jewish virus! ... We shall regain our health only be eliminating the Jew.”

I think you know exactly who said this, so I don't need to say it.

All I'll say, however, is that yes, the student VP is indeed a bigot. History proves that as fact.

I like how he said "if homophobia is truly a phobia, then homosexuality is an illness". So does that mean spiders are an illness? Going outside is an illness?

He has it backward, the phobia is the illness, not what causes it.

[Deleted]

This guys comments are golden; "Homophobia has phobia in it, so it must be an illness". What the fudge, really?
But hey, my fault for trying to find logic in that type of human.

On topic, yes I think he should resign, but clearly he won't, so remove him by force.

talk about winning the war in culture. That fact that someone that believe homosexuality is wrong is instantly a bigot or "afraid" of homosexuals is a complete joke. In the same way a parent can still love their child while not agreeing with some of their decisions/views/beliefs/actions, it is possible to believe homosexuality is wrong/an illness/sinful/whatever without being a "hateful" or showing any hateful action towards one.

It just gets old that we fashion these convenient labels for everyone. I neither want, nor should be allowed (socially) to call a homosexual a faggot. In the same sense, if I have strong convictions about homosexuality being a negative, it doesn't make me ignorant, it doesn't make me a bigot, it doesn't make me hateful. Far from it.

In the same sense, if I have strong convictions about Judaism being a negative, it doesn't make me ignorant, it doesn't make me a bigot, it doesn't make me hateful. Far from it.

And with a little tampering, you see just how well your mindset would have fit back in the 1940's in Nazi Germany, especially since, as I already pointed out earlier, Hitler called Jews a disease much like that chucklehead and you are both doing.

Do you even know what a bigot is? I suspect not, based on your rambling. And just because something can happen in nature does not make it normal. And look up those animal homosexuality cases. Very rarely does it happen exclusively apart from heterosexual pairings. Those two male dogs you see humping each other in their cage? Yeah, put a female in there and see what happens. At best those animals could be described as bi. And either way, it is still not normal. Animals can have defects too.

I don't have enough hands! (not going to say if it's due to too few hands or too many nipples)
