“Trans people tend to get called 'queer' whoever they're with.

But to trans people, if they identify as women, it's a straight relationship to be with a man, and a 'gay' one to be with a woman. Just like for anyone else.

It's a generally-transphobic idea to say 'Oh, she's *really* a man,' but trans people don't get any 'straight privilege' either way, ...and gay men are in general not interested in transwomen like this appointee, nor are they interested in men looking for a man.”

“Err, the hate crimes law extends to all orientations, not just LBGT people. It's not our fault if straight people don't get bashed, so.

Being LBGT isn't a 'belief,' ....if it was, then it'd fall under freedom of religion.

No belief allows one to violate another's unalienable rights, in America.”

“Gay people don't make empires fall. Falling empires freak out about gay people so they can continue to drive their societies into bridge abutments.”

“And has anyone noticed how the whole 'Conservative tough on crime' thing *evaporates* when the LBGT community is targeted?”

“That's not true - they're equal opportunity with respect to ignoring minority crimes.

“This won't be an effect of the law, though you raise an interesting point.

Some preachers seem to be incapable of working without hate-speech against LBGT people... It's not prosecuteable, but now I'm just wondering if they * could.*”

“Again. It's not special groups. It protects all orientations, including the 'majority.'

Just cause straights don't have real fears of needing them doesn't mean all Americans have the same rights in this... Finally.

Easy for you to try and redefine equal protection for all as 'special protected groups,' but it doesn't make it true.

I, for one, know the difference. I don't feel 'special,' now, just more like how you take for granted.”

“Yeah, though the GOP learned the Orwellian tactic from Karl Rove to just attack someone else for what you're doing yourself, and keep repeating it.

Who's really acting like a certain party, both in ideology and tactics? No, it's not the Democrats.”

“It's stopped women and minorities from getting assaulted twice, once by the perps, and once by the justice system. Then maybe again when the offenders would get a slap on the wrist for saying, 'She was asking for it,' or 'Black people shouldn't come here' and walk.”

“Actually, the disabled have been left out of hate crimes protections until, now, too. If people attacked someone for being a 'cripple' they'd consider it 'just a fight' too or something.”
