The shirt says "Thank a straight person today for your existence". Do you really think only straight people can make a baby?

This is going to blow your mind but there are people that make children then later realize that they are gay but stayed in a relationship because that is what they were supposed to do.

Also another mind blowing fact, there are people that are bi-sexual. That means that they have sex with men and women!

There are also things like in vetro fertilization. Do you think only straight people donate sperm or eggs?

But on a side note, gay couples do adopt quite often when these "only straight couples" give up their kids.

Yup, me and my insecurity... just sitting here in my comfortable office, listening to a podcast and thinking about what kind of wheels I want to buy for my car.

That's my summer car, for those keeping score. Not my SUV, I drive that year 'round. My Lexus RC that I only drive when it's nice out, May through October.

Now, clearly you are an unhappy person and someone who takes pleasure in bad things happening to others. I think that says a lot about your character...or lack thereof.

I would never wish ill on another person, I was raised better than that.

I genuinely hope that one day you find peace and contentment and are able to more constructively deal with your anger issues.

Taking them out on a stranger just because they don't share your worldview is not healthy.
You are the one defending bigotry, then claiming a moral high ground? Good stuff. I only wish poorly on those who take actions that harms others. And that's what a UCP vote is. And I only hope you suffer repercussions for your choices, since you seem to care not how your choices affect others.

I've seen gay partners raise way better kids than many straight couples. And they love their kids more too.

I have slowly come to accept the fact that some people are not able to wrap their brain around what is different between Gay Pride and Straight Pride (You can also substitute movements like Black Lives Matter/White Lives Matter). They are either unable to intellectually understand why one statement is bigoted and the other is not, or they just play stupid through the use of passive aggressive statements or imagery.

When did writing short sentences as declarations become the way that we all write?

Social grandstanding has eliminated all need to talk about policy.

Who is hiding in the shadows?

Otters swim with a slight side to side motion in the water.

They don't want to confront the failure of their own world view, so they choose to pretzel brain themselves into finding a way for it to be acceptable.


Some people are just bad people.

You are wrong TC. You come across as angry, very angry. You come across as a bigot. You come across as far more radical than the people you call radical.
If a CP radical is someone caring about marginalized people noone is going change your bigoted viewpoint. Geesh.

Personally I prefer my trolling to be a little more subtle, this is a little too on the nose to be entertaining

News flash, this is Calgary. A lot of people either already make a #### load of money, or will eventually make a #### load of money. A lot of these people are insecure, especially the ones that brag about all the cool stuff they have, there is nothing special about you.

I legit thought his first post on this was satire. Took me a bit it to figure out it was real.

I could be the only one, but it's entertaining (just the comments about his life and how awesome it is).

He's taking on the caricature of the privileged right to make a point. These two or three guys are actually arguing with themselves in order to put on a type of play. "I'm really rich and have these views!" is a weak money shot. I think that they got tired in the writing room.

Weird...cause I'm not remotely angry.

In fact, I think this whole thing is hysterical. You've got a bunch of people tying themselves in knots over a t-shirt with something biologically true written on it.

And then they have to double down with the conflations and insults.

It's both funny and predictable.


I'm going to out myself now..

I actually don't give the slightest #### what people in this thread post, think, live, aspire to, or care about.

This whole thread is one big leftie circle jerk, and the second a person with a viewpoint that isn't strictly aligned to their dogma then they immediately start with the insults, conflation and hysteria.

Now, I've seen this play out over and over again, and that's why there is no civil discourse in here. You've got a small group of very loud, radical ideologues who don't have the ability to accept there are more than one type of person, or one viewpoint. They are very small-minded, self-absorbed and intellectually weak.

Now, I was raised not to pick on those weaker than I, but every once and a while I can't help myself and I need to poke these silly, small, foolish individuals.

Today was that day. It was a fun hour.


I'm good now.


You can go back to your virtue-signaling and simping for your woke idols.

Later!
