Reply #11: Defining Terms

[marginlized]

“concede to the differences between the heteronormative way of life and the way of life that most, if not all, GLBT members would like to live.”

Aside from what you mean by “heteronormative” - Ozzie and Harriet, or Ozzy Osborn? - how do you define the life that GLBT people would like to live?

Something tangibly more genuine and healthy?

And then you go on to suggest, in essence, that we’re asking for a lot. And here I thought in their last round of Federal Budget negotiations that the Republicans were asking for a HELL OF A LOT MORE from their Government and Community than ANY glbt person. All we’re asking for, for example, is the right to marry. That’s not gonna cost BILLIONS in lost revenue, ‘cause KOCH Bros. Inc., et al, want to keep their taxes low.

Friend, get a clue. Your conclusions aren’t what’s “fuzzy” here. Maybe it’s all that “theory” you’ve been reading. Perhaps you could offer a reference or two as to whose theory you refer to. That way, we could glean some hints as to what your theories suggest.

Again that “tangibly more genuine and healthy” something you have in mind is what? And if your answer goes anywhere near something like freedom from housing and employment discrimination aka ENDA, how is that - at all - even slightly more than the status quo that the rest of Society already has?
