    The Pride movement is specifically designed to celebrate homosexuality. It celebrates homosexuality to kids and adults alike when its message is around kids and adults. They even have kids sized clothing. Celebrating homoseuality is celebrating sexuality. How do you rationalize that celebrating sexuality is NOT sexual?

    Snow White is a fictional Disney character. She is not defined as hetero or homosexual. She is just a woman. She is being shown on a t shirt because people like the movie. She is not being portrayed as a symbol of anyone's sexuality. She is portrayed as a woman. A kiss on her cheek is not a sexual reference. I have been kissed on the cheek by men and I am heterosexual. A kiss on the cheek is not sexuality. I have been kissed on the cheek by my mother. Kissing does not mean sexuality.

    Hetero and homosexuals are just people. There is nothing wrong with people. There is something wrong with highlighting their sexuality in a mass market retail store such as Target. The store is free to do as they lease, and customers are free to respond how they see fit as a result of what they choose to do. I fail to see the problem here?

    I didnt say that Pride is evil. I said that Target is not the proper venue to celebrate sexuality. People that practice BDSM are not evil either. Similarly, I dont think Target is an appropriate place to celebrate their existence.

    Right, you’re comparing an adult bookstore to Target. Got it.

    The difference of course being that Target is a huge store with only one little section for pride merchandise that can easily be avoided. No need for shielding of eyes as you put it.
    An adult bookstore, other than the section where you apparently buy your “breath mints”, doesn’t have much in the way of appropriate sections for kids.

    Less irrelevant than a t-shirt with a rainbow?

    Chatting with you reminds me of the movie Groundhog Day.

    Do you mean a campaign directed at celebrating sexuality?

    IMO, Target is not the proper forum to celebrate sexuality.

    So you are saying that this display only contains rainbows? If that is the case maybe you have a point.

    Of course its NOT the case....so you dont.

    Rainbow t-shirt is what you replied to with your comment about celebrating sexuality. I just went off of that. <shrug>

    It’s actually you who is confused. I clearly said “Rainbow t-shirt is what you replied to”. Bloody hell man.

    So because someone else said rainbow t shirt and I replied to that statement, therefore you think you are not responsible for expressing the wrong implication that this is all about a rainbow?


    You like to bicker aimlessly dont you? I find this to be boring and a colossal waste of time. I dont understand people like yourself that do this nonstop.

    At least your posts are short....so there is that I suppose.

    You’re the one bickering. I went off what you were discussing, which was rainbow t shirts. Not my fault you were too lazy to expound on the topic when you replied to the other person. Meh….whatever.

    I think we’re a bit confused here. @Pycckia is the one who initially asked “why shouldn’t his morals dictate to others?” I responded to him with saying that there are other people in the world besides him. Then the poster you’re quoting at the start, which was actually @cd8ed there, said what he said and then Pycckia replied with “yes, that’s called civilization,” to which I responded with “no that’s actually called authoritarianism.”

    Then afterwards you asked if laws against murder and rape are considered authoritarian, to which the answer is no because those are actual crimes all over the world. Being gay is not a crime, at least not in most places.

    Hmm I like that idea except for how it’s incredibly stupid, anti-democracy and proving my point about authoritarianism.

    I hear Uganda is open for business if you’re interested in people who think gayness should be illegal.

    We know that’s you peoples end goal.
    I am glad y’all have started being so up front about it.

    You might find that will be more difficult than you hoped both practically and physically.

    Because it isn’t celebrating sexuality. Again, read up on why pride started. It was a protest.

    So a kiss on the cheek by two heterosexual couples that were perusing a relationship isn’t sexual but two same sex characters just existing is sexual? Or a rainbow? How laughable

    Because it isn’t sexual

    Again, their existence isn’t sexual.

    How stupid it is is a matter of opinion.

    It's not undemocratic, though. Just like laws against gambling.

    Gambling =/= being gay.

    That’s an incredibly stupid comparison, and only dickheads think that’s a democratic thing.

    You are the only one confused here. Yes, I know preceisely who you are in that conversation.

    You said that its called authoritarianis when the majority pushes their morals on society. I pointed out to you that laws in general are an example of the majority pushing their morals upon society, which clearly went directly over your head. Even now, you still dont get the connection. Yes of course those are laws, which is the entire point. Laws are examples of the majority pushing their morals upon everyone. That is the very basis of our system of law..

    At this point I dont care if you understand. Other do. If it goes over your head then so be it.

    You know, I have responded to basically all of the above several times now. I have made my point. I am not going to just keep going in circles where we just keep repeating the same thing over and over and over. I am more than comfortable that I have more than adequately supported my position.

    It is time to move on. You have had your shot at aking your case several timres over now. It is time to let the reader decide.
