I know this is rather off topic:
Whats with all this right and left bullshit? This is 2011 on the internets, not 1790 in France. Calling people right wing, left wing, conservative or liberal does not do anybody any good.
On topic:
Silly, silly law. Those backing it ought to be ashamed about them selves.
It would probably backfire too. If talking about homosexuality were all of a sudden taboo, it would just make the kids look into it more.
Banned stuff tends to gather attention these days.

Right people want to look back to the past and institute things like witch hunts and the inquisition while left people want to starve half the world so the planet could be greener.
Ok, may be that's exaggerating it. But the point is I'm using these terms for the sake of convenience.
I get your point but the left/right problem is evident in so many political threads on this forum... "This guy is right wing in my perspective, and so are you, therefore you agree with this guy!".
Taz writes:
Anyway, the fact remains that we always see these very evil intents coming from the conservative side of the fence.
Well i cant disagree with that.
Taz writes:
They keep saying the 50s were the golden age for some damn reason. Well, they forget things like segregation the power the KKK had on society. Some golden age...
People these days have very short term memories and cannot be bothered to read actual history, so they watch old flicks to explore the past. Most of the movies from that era about american life, seems pretty goldy-agy to me
I wouldnt want to derail your thread, so lets drops this for now. Perhaps i should create a thread about my problems regarding Left/Liberal, Right, Conservative.

Re: Why The Fuss?

That was when gays meant happy fun type folks and gays were called queers and homos. They dared not come out of their closets.
... This was a good thing?
BS writes:
Why? Because gay is not natural. It is a deviation of what is normal, scientifically and culturally.
No... Because they would fear for getting beaten up, facing prison sentences and even getting killed. It wasent always like this you know.
Homosexuality has been accepted and seen as normal in several cultures during human history. The taboo that exist in the western world mostly stems from religion.

ABE: Having said the above, I've had friends and associates in business for nearly 50 years.
I dont doubt you have. But you havent had any GAY friends. Atleast not if they knew about how you felt about their personal lives.
Imagine if you found out that a friend of yours, was against your marriage with your wife... if that friend told you, you werent normal. Would that person still be your friend?
BS writes:
That, however doesn't change my thinking relative to what is a matter of fact about them.
That they arent normal? That they are lesser beeings than you?

Nobody beats the "progressives" for intolerance.
If ill ask you who those progressives are, and what they want, are you going to go all Glenn Beck on me?
You see, im actually a socialist, im one those europeans too, and i get offended everytime someone calls Obama, Nancy Pelosi or the other democrats or their policies socialist.
Not even a year have passed since the democrats voted against closing a loophole for the very rich to avoid paying income tax. They succeded and the very rich can still pay almost nothing in income tax.

Re: a different take
The law OP mentions and is discussed is so very different than the one you bring up.
The Tennesee law is censorship.
The Cali law is adding some to the curricullum.
The Tenn. law is not even just removing something from the curicullum, it is direct censorship.
