Quick question
 
So I've been wondering because I've been hearing about this a lot, and I tried to do the right thing by educating myself and looking into it before demanding the answers from other people (though I asked Saya and she seemed to think it was a joke because she gave me ridiculous answers and laughed menacingly for some reason), but I simply cannot find the answer:

What is the gay agenda?

BourbonBoy 01-22-2013 09:09 PM

I think they're trying to put a label to the civil rights that the LGBT community has been fighting to achieve for some time. I googled the term and was smacked with both positive and negative websites regarding the community. However, wikipedia was neutral as always in simplifying the term and how it's used.

Wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual_agenda

A LGBT website - http://gayagenda.com/

And one of the ridiculous websites (I didn't bother reading it, the title alone made me laugh) - http://www.bettybowers.com/homoagenda.html

The gay agenda - to look fabulous and get Neil Patrick Harris as benevolent dictator of all.

John Stewart said something about getting FEMA assistance for when it's raining men. What priority does that have?

Would George Takei be his number 2?

There's a serious discussion in here, somewhere. Something like using language to make euallity look sinister and depraved, or immigration to be criminal. I don't know.

Miss Absynthe 01-22-2013 10:26 PM

From somewhere near the serious discussion side of the fence.. it started off as fear mongering - queer people only want non-heterosexuality to be seen as something normal so that we can recruit the youth, and by recruiting we then create a world where non-heterosexuality is accepted as being normal and where deviance is no longer actually deviant. And if we no longer have set ideas of what is acceptable within society we will soon have disgusting things happening... like sex work, poly relationships and acceptance of non-binary genders! It's all a slippery-slope descending into drunken debauchery and suckling at satan's bosom!!

It tends to be driven by that sort of "won't somebody think of the children?!" fear, and the idea that sexuality has a default setting of "hetero" until something fucks that up.

Dammit I would have played with you. I really liked the game, though I had periods where I wasn't playing just because as a Stalker I could solo the game easily, and I was pretty anti-social as a result. It had the best character creation evar though, DC Online just doesn't compare.

City of Villians reminds me of Necessary Evil a lot. You two would like it.

Murder.Of.Crows 01-23-2013 05:56 PM

Necessary Evil? Haven't heard of it. But, since mmo's are on topic now. Freakin Elder Scrolls online. An alpha tester said it's essiantially Skyrim except multiplayer. WHICH IS ALL I'VE DREAMED ABOUT for like ever. I've gotten so tired of pointing and clicking on enemies to attack. Occasionaly spamming my 1 2 3 buttons.

Saya 01-23-2013 06:18 PM

I was going to sign up for beta before I remembered my computer can't run Skyrim and even Oblivion gives it hiccups.

Versus 01-23-2013 07:09 PM

Necessary Evil is a tabletop RPG in which aliens invade earth and kill all of the good guys. The only force left is the resistance of super villains who refuse to allow anybody to enslave earth except themselves. The setting is very silver-age comics without the racism and sexism, and is mostly hilarious.

Also, fuck Elder Scrolls: Online.

It was something my mom mentioned when she told me that I wasn't allowed to join the GSA, despite my pleas as a young child.

Even as a small child I had the impression that it was pretty much crap, I seriously doubted that all the leaders were lesbians and even the ones who were, weren't lurking in the shadows just waiting to turn me gay.

Quick question
 
there was one question that abbott asked yesterday, and it was a quick civil 25 second answer by the PM. No slagging or name calling. If this was always like this then alot more questions would be asked and things might be achieved in the parliament.
