As a group, homosexuals haven't had to fight for equality in the same way - they have been allowed to attend high schools and universities freely, vote, catch a bus home and sit wherever they like.
Part of that difference is that homosexuality is much more easily concealed than race and I do accept that there is a big difference between being allowed to do something because you're concealing a huge part of your identity, and being allowed to do something while being open about who you are. But to compare the campaign for rights equality between white homosexuals and black people, ignoring the history of black people brought here as possessions that were traded like cattle, who had to start from there and work slowly towards equality, is something....that only a bunch of white people would ever do. |

You can't compare any two things unless they're exactly the same!!!!
The legislative solution is, quite obviously, the same. That's why the comparison is made. |

We point out the similarity to say "Hey, you're not adjusting with time and your ideas are a product of the time you live in and not of logic" not to say "It's literally as bad as 100's of years of subjugation"

You can compare any two things if you like, but the usefulness of the comparison obviously isn't guaranteed.
You analysis of my first paragraph is wrong. And my third paragraph is not a straw man. The legislative solution is only the same because in both cases, laws have been passed. You're essentially saying seat belts are like marriage equality - we know it's worth making a comparison because in both cases, laws have been passed as a solution to a problem. I mean, that's an interesting point I guess. But it doesn't really convince me that seat belts and marriage equality are very similar things, speaking more generally. So maybe comparing marriage equality to seat belts isn't actually that helpful... |

Are there any incidences of this discrimination happening outside of the wedding industry though?
Because if not, that's not comparable to blacks not receiving any service at diners. That refusal of service was based on the idea that a human being's intrinsic value and worthiness of respect could be judged by the colour of their skin. That is not the same AT ALL to the idea that it isn't good for two people of the same sex to be married, and very politely declining to cater for that wedding. |

its not the same at all except that it's a business open to the public refusing service to a certain class of the public based on an immutable trait and rooted in animus and ignorance.
And in many states we are actually a protected class. So it's not like I'm some radical here. |

Because the way to do it is to add sexual orientation and gender identity to existing civil rights statutes which were largely conceived as an attempt to remedy racism (although things like gender were added at the time, even though discrimination based on race and gender are... WAIT FOR IT... Really different!)

You need to have a basic understanding of of American civil rights laws to be able to participate in a productive discussion about this

I appreciate your point about having a basic understanding of American civil rights and thank you for explaining how rights are granted through amending current statutes and what those statutes are & their history. That does help me to see where you're coming from, and I do agree with you.
I wonder if in particular, the wedding issue should be treated as a special case - only because it might keep the peace better than playing hardball. Hard to tell if it would only cause more division. But little mom and pop type small businesses being allowed to continue politely declining to cater for gay weddings doesn't seem like the same thing to me as point blank refusing all service to gay people. |

When I recall that the word "meme" was invented by richard Dawkins, that's how I know that there is real evil in the world and that we need God to protect us.

A meme is not a viral idea, necessarily, in that it doesn't necessarily hijack an existing idea the way that viruses hijack pre-existing genetic info.
A meme is just an idea that replicates similarly to how genetic information does. It's an imprecise and possibly useless concept. |

dear netphoria,
you're not going to like this 1. first of all having compare and contrast pissing contests between minority groups is stupid, has to stop, and is indeed something only white people do. equal rights for all is really the only common denominator. oppression of homosexuality and oppression of race are not fungible. they're so different on a psychological and historical scale. the issue when you try to bring them together it's like you're raking people's oppression. it's like the very stupid question of who was worse, hitler or stalin or pol pot or etc. everyone's equal, so is their struggle (except you know who obvs) 2. poots sometimes has a good point that he puts in the stupidest way possible so everyone ignores it but the cake thing is like...why are you going to MAKE someone make something edible for you when they are full of spite towards you? So would it be acceptable for them to put up a bunch of jesus stuff in their store so you know what you're getting into? I mean...cake for a gay wedding from a bunch of backwoods Christians is at the very least going to be made poorly out of spite. 3. GOD HATES FAGS Regards, B.

comparing the climate of jim crow south in the 60s and the climate of rural Indiana in 2010s is every bit as ridiculous as vixnix comparing you to Lenin...
these things just aren't fungible. i'm not trying to rank gays and blacks on the "how oppressed are you?" buzzfeed quiz, i just don't think it's appropriate. (PS they were better off under Lenin compared to the Tsar) |

because if you were a peasant that starved to death under Lenin it's actually the same result you'd get under Tsar Nicholas II
withdrawing from WWI was immediate improvement on its own there was a civil war of course |
