Stuff like gay rights are not bullsh*t. In around 40 states in the US, gays can be fired from their jobs without cause. That's insane. It's not like gays are asking for special, gay-only rights. They just want to add their issue to the list of federally recognized discrimated groups. And as only 10% of the population, they're definately a minority.
gay rights are very much bullsh*t. black people...yes, they have a right to fight for civil rights. women...yes, they have a right to fight for civil rights. Whats the difference? blacks and women are being discriminated against for something they had no control over whatsoever. gay people, on the other hand, made that choice to be gay. they weren't born gay, they aren't "products of a modern society" or whatever other liberal ass reason you come up with that they didnt have any choice but to be gay. you made the choice, be prepared to live with its consequences.
I guess it could be worse...if you've ever taken an anthropology class, homosexuality in different parts of the world are much worse. Like this one tribe (i dont remember the name) is set up where the elder men of the tribe have sex with all the young boys because they believe the semen gives them warrior strength.
