For example, today I informed someone that "gender" refers to behavior and "sex" is what we use to describe XX or XY. That comment never made it.<BR/><BR/>That's why I started picking their posts apart on my site.<BR/><BR/>The best part is? They regularly congratulate each other for having "civilized debates" on the issue of gay rights. Yeah, it's not a "debate" if only one side is represented.PersonalFailurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03034292023591747601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-13811263314121867202009-02-05T12:19:00.000-05:002009-02-05T12:19:00.000-05:00PS- I tried to comment on that person's blog that ...PS- I tried to comment on that person's blog that you linked to, and he didn't allow my comment. <BR/><BR/>All I said was that GaysDefendMarriage is a misnomer because the site is really only a single gay man. Thus, it would more accurately be called GayDefendMarriage.<BR/><BR/>I guess he wanted to ignore that fact.

Thank you. <BR/><BR/>The bigotsphere generally suffers from Hasty Generalization: one person thinks/says/does whatever, therefore anyone from the group they are a part of thinks/says/does whatever. I can't decide if this is a function of lack of education, or just "anything to shore up my own viewpoint" thinking.<BR/><BR/>I am hardly surprised to find a homosexual on their side of the fence, there were blacks on the 60s arguing against civil rights, as well. I also can't speak to what informs Benkof's viewpoint. It's easy enough for me to say, "You're gay, accept it and move on." I don't have to be him.PersonalFailurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03034292023591747601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-29231070692844981182009-02-04T16:41:00.000-05:002009-02-04T16:41:00.000-05:00I've had a few interactions with Benkof and I have...I've had a few interactions with Benkof and I have come to respect him. He's been a gracious host on his blog as far as allowing competing ideas, and he has been willing to call those on "his side" out for their more egregious behavior.<BR/><BR/>However, it is seriously annoying how "marriage defenders" lap him up with a spoon just because he's a gay man who opposes marriage equality. It's as though they think their position has more credibility because ONE WHOLE GAY PERSON agrees with them publicly. <BR/><BR/>Anyway I have my own Benkof <A HREF="http://fanniesroom.blogspot.com/search?q=benkof" REL="nofollow">mini-archive over at my blog,</A> if you're interested.Fannie Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04296502470605119779noreply@blogger.com
