In reply to the discussion: The Next Hate Fest: CUNY Mockery on Gay Rights [View all]delrem
(9,688 posts)16. OK, what about this quote from you:
"One of the reasons the Gay community has made such big gains in Israel is due to their embrace of Zionism."
So, if the Gay community didn't embrace Zionism in Israel, they'd be totally fucked? Is that your argument in favor of Zionism, or what?
geeze louise but I've got to ask w.t.f. connection you're trying necessitate here. Are you out of your mind????
If Israel doesn't discriminate w.r.t. sexual orientation, or sexual identity, then Israel is on the correct track according as the universal standard of equal rights before the law for all persons regardless of race, sex, religion, sexual orientation, etc. etc. That's a GOOD thing. But for you to assert that this right is dependent on a person's embrace of Zionism is BAD.
