What are your thoughts on x-men’s recent foray into gender politics? Do you believe it’s uncharacteristic of the comic or was it a natural progression? - eviltoast

For example, Mystique being transgender and Morph being non-binary.

    they want marriage to be defined as a man and a woman

    Exactly.

    Is that your earth-shattering evidence?

    It crossed my mind to link more, but I knew you wouldn’t even be able to handle this one. Best to stick to one at a time, lest you ignore the rest as you often do.

    That is from 2016, but it is the current platform.

    If it doesn’t represent the GOP, then they shouldn’t have it on their site. They chose to keep it up because that bigotry hasn’t changed.

        Agreed. That’s why I stopped after only one. It just not worth it to hunt down the rest of the examples and format them here.

        I’m not gonna put effort in just for it to get dismissed out of hand, ignored, or some other weak excuse to be brought up.

      I don’t see that as anti-gay. I fully support gay marriage but to me that’s a yawn

          If we use that logic, Bill Clinton and Obama were anti-gay as well. Bernie Sanders, as well.

            You’re equating a position the GOP presently, publicly stands by to the past positions of individuals who have since changed their minds, and are misquoted.

            Stop with the unicorns and magic.

              I’m not. I don’t think being pro-traditional marriage is anti-gay. Anti-sodomy laws are anti-gay but I don’t feel the same way about marriage.

                being pro-traditional marriage is anti-gay.

                Being “pro traditional marriage” necessarily discriminates against gay couples.

                  Not sure you get discrimination. It just means to choose. So yes, it is discriminatory but that doesn’t make something illegal or wrong. I suppose you’re not old enough to remember the old coffee commercial about discriminating taste. As I said I support it but there is a weird religious sect of the Republican Party that I wish we could remove.

                  Who you marry is really none of my business.

                    You just can’t help but immediately move to the next goal post can you?

          I think you are confused. My trans friend is married and could have been married before SOTUS approved it.

          Also, my friend isn’t into gay rights. While you think LBGTQ+ is a monolithic group, it isn’t. She isn’t anti-gay rights, but gay rights don’t concern her. She is VERY into trans rights.
