Undercover Gay Reporters Are Making Homophobes Angry

I think bigots should disclose their status because its a conflict of interest when reporting on equality issues. See lady? Its all a matter of perspective and you just don't like what you see and you just can't fathom that heterosexual reporters are tolerant and supportive because you see the world through bigoted eyes, the same lens through which use to relate to others. You assume most people are like you. How shortsighted for a reporter, someone whose job it is to report on reality. Someone has some work to do.

How Denying Marriage Equality is a Form of Apartheid

Unless you are of a group discriminated against, it is more difficult for you to identify and understand the impact that discrimination has on their lives.

On the apartheid comparison, it is always the nature of any comparison that they are never completely equal because each situation has its own unique personality if you will. The comparison made between apartheid and gay rights is made in efforts to help people understand that it is serious, unjust and has a similar fuelling mentality that aims to restrict, control and legally somehow separate a group perceived as inferior. Apartheid was an embarrassing era of discrimination that is much, much more widely agreed on now as to its injustice. The major difference is time and time trends towards the progression of equal rights. So just think about how the argument against gays rights will probably be looked upon 50 years from now. An illogical pecking order, whether it is gays or blacks, doesn't mesh with our constitution. If you get caught up in the details of difference between these 2 struggles, you will see the trees but not the forrest. There are differences, but if you really think about it, you can't deny the similarities.

How Denying Marriage Equality is a Form of Apartheid

That is very true. This is one hypothesis I've read about as to the purpose of homosexuality through our evolution.

How Denying Marriage Equality is a Form of Apartheid

It is very caveman. Its the result of a caveman mentality running civilization. What is under the mask of civilization? Competition, control and fear..=caveman.

How Denying Marriage Equality is a Form of Apartheid

It is not a competition about who should be killed the most. The point is that some human beings die for a country that does not treat them legally like everyone else. The poor end up in the service more often because of the incentives the government provides. That and poverty are also important issues. But if a country can't multitask in order to solve issues, we would be like a giant turtle with tunnel vision and we would be unable to function.
