Your claim that this is not an isolated event is also an extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence. But then everyone *wants* to believe gay-bashing is an epidemic because it fits the narrative being pushed...so no one will ever ask.
Being insanely ugly is preventing me from getting married despite the fact that I'm so inclined. Why does nobody care when I came out and admitted that I'm an ogre?
Courage now defines a fucking millionaire saying something that most people already knew. If you watered down the definition of courage any further....I'd be courageous for getting out of bed this morning.
Really?
Your own family attacked you with a crowbar? Then smashed your windshield with it, then rammed your car with a pickup truck?
And they did it because you are a straight, middle class, right handed white male?
Do you filter any of the diarrhea that dribbles out of your mouth at all?
No, liberals did. And your final sentence is indicative of just the oppression I've been first to suffer for being born this way.
Are you implying that this, and only this, law should be the shining example of something a government does that simply CANNOT be abused to provide assistance to a group it wasn't expressly intended to provide assistance to?
I have been single the entire time I have been at my current employer. The only personal item I have at my desk is a slinky. My company can't tell whether I'm gay or straight unless I tell them.
what if said benefits and protections also aren't a right, but are an incentive to procreate?
Like giving oil companies a break on income tax so they'll hire people.
as a cisgender (god I hate that this term even exists), middle class, right handed, white male I've suffered more bigotry and intolerance over the last 20 years than any homosexual...and from the exact people who's stake-in-claim in politics is purpotedly omnitolerance.
Perhaps. Bit it will hihligjt once and for all humans are not just evolving DNA but the twin streams of data: DNA and memes.
For millenia, anti-gay memes kept gays breeding in families, preserving whatever, if it's there, of DNA gay-related.
Now that meme pressure is gone. It will take centuries if not more to see if gayness evolves away now.
It's all pointless really, as humans will control their DNA by computer analysis, probably within the lifespan of some currently alive.
What if gayness is like sickle cell anemia, though? 1 copy gives you an immunity to malaria, 2 copies gives you a problem.
Maybe the "gay gene" if you get 1 copy you're a smooth lady killer (thus you CAN breed) and with 2 copies you like to sit on pole instead?
Now I realize that current research suggests that homosexuality is EPI-genetic, but I'm just throwing that out there.
He quite clearly didn't personally want to make his private life so public, but felt that it's in the public's best interest to know as it might help fight bigotry and intolerance.
In other words, talking out of both sides of his mouth.
That's not out of the box. Buy a machine with Linux pre-installed (yes, I realize there aren't many options) like you do a windows machine, and viola...it works out of the box.
That's not google's problem, that's handset manufacturer's problem. That's like saying Dell should "just give everyone win8" because, you know, potato.
We could watch Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares and come to the conclusion that it's impossible to make money running restaurants. And indeed it's not easy. Yet there are many successful restaurants as well as many failures. The failure is always in the specifics of a particular restaurant, not the concept of restaurants.
This analogy would ALMOST work except for there aren't 42 italian restaurants lined up, side by side, doing the same thing, all for $.99 with the only visible difference being olive garden vs olive g4rden.
There is so much garbage in the app store, the market research is almost impossible...and if you even DO the research, someone is going to essentially cold-spike your app, and charge less for it 10 seconds after it's released. Try that with a burger king...
I would assert precisely the opposite. "trade-offs to preserve compatibility and interoperability" do not cripple the functionality to users-- failures to engineer compatibility and interoperability is what cripples functionality.
The number of times that there's been a new feature and I've said "oh, excellent, it's true that my old files no longer work, but this is so wonderful I don't care" has been very close to zero. The number of times there's been a new feature and I've said "those assholes, I have twenty thousand files that don't work any more, what in the world were those idiots thinking?" is decidedly not zero.
And this is why there are so many programming languages with massive overlap in usage. Because once you start down a path, you can never, ever, everver change. If you want something that 42 years down the road that breaks with convention, go create a new language.

See? I even have to suffer oppression from what are, ostensibly, my own people.

Your 99 cent theology sucks. Jesus claimed to be God in the flesh
So did David Koresh. So maybe we have to take some bits of our $.99 theology fries with some salt.

pedantry really isn't helping your case, here.

So tolerant...
Opportunity, sure. Not outcome.

At least in the sphere of watches, apples crap will be on the low end of price.
Source: I'm trying to decide between a $500 watch or a $3000 watch because one says "omega" on it, and one doesn't.

"acceptance into society" isn't a right.

But you probably budget for the income from 40 hours, not zero. That's what's messed up.
Also, can we stop pretending these are about anything other than revenue generation?
This. Just the mere fact that they actually budgeted against the ticket revenue tells you everything you need to know.

THAT'S the point he was trying to make.

The primary point of the story was that tap water processing plants do absolutely nothing to filter it out. This is why I don't drink tap water.
Do you only drink well water? Cuz guess what: bottled water is tap water.
Well that coupled with the left's unending attack on masculinity at the social level, yes.
