I fundamentally disagree

But why is it the job of the gay person to talk to the conservative village in "the right way" to justify their existence?

It isn't, but we're talking about arguing with idiots. I had some lengthy response prepared but I scraped that - bottom line is, what is your solution in such scenario then? (I mean the village scenario)

My solution is that you need to show people that they have nothing to fear, basically to bring them down to their senses. That's standard negotiation/diplomacy. It's unfair but that's life, in ideal world we wouldn't need to deal with this. And alternative for me is a tribal war of "us vs. them", where you spark in people "this person is aggresive against me, this person is thus my enemy!" and then any logic or reason goes out of window.

But really, what is your solution?

Fair enough, good quote (btw I'm not from US so my knoledge here is limited). Although I'm not sure what portion I agree/disagree with it, I have to think about it much more.

But I mean, even MLK understood that there's a limit, right? Like he didn't take AK47 and started to murder all the racists he saw but have chosen rather strong but non violent approach and he thought about what he was saying and what "works". And that's all I'm saying, I've never said that you cannot take a strong stance. But if you turn it to 11 and just RAGE!!! then be prepared that you might not achieve anything or even make the situation worse

I'd like to be calm but since I live in a country neighbouring Ukraine ... yeah, I'm scared

Wait, is "Days of our lives" an actuall TV show? I thought it was a made up thing for Friends!

He can talk!

Good, I agree. And I still argue that the word 'privilege' isn't correct here. We want to call this 'double standard', 'unfairness', 'disadvantage', 'advantage', ... that's up to a debate. But I rest my case that this isn't a 'privilege'

To quote source of all truth - Google first page:

privilege

/ˈprɪv(ɪ)lɪdʒ/

a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group.

"education is a right, not a privilege"

They just called her 'Thursday' where I bought it

RIP. But dying at age of 66, that's metal

Heh, is that Marian Labuda in the picture from movie 'Vesničko má středisková'?
