Awwww... straight privilege. How adorable.

I'm happy that no matter whether you want or can have them or not, you have the right to be a family and have all the rights and privileges which come with it.

Now you can either continue the tangent with your offense at the term breeder or you can get to the root of the inequality with me.

I completely hear what you're saying and agree with you on one level, buddy. This is about heterosexual privilege.

On another level, it's about tolerance on both sides even if your perceived intolerance generally can't translate to discrimination on the part of homosexuals against heterosexuals.

Since you are also a member of another minority group, you can appreciate how using perceived slurs has little utility unless you are just breeding () hostility and intolerance on either side.

It's like black people celebrating a momentous occasion, such as the election of the first black president, and wanting a voice for the cause but doing so under the guise of "putting those h_nkies in their place" or "pissing off those salty cr_ckas."

That's not so bad.

Sure, it is. But this thread is about a "Day Without a Gay" and I don't want the attentiont to shift too much.

Hey, I'm not offended by the term breeder. I figure that when gay people use it to refer to straight people it's usually tongue-in-cheek. At least, I assumed that it was in this case. I was just clarifying what I think of when someone uses the word.

And Sen, I don't claim any straight privilege over the right to be a parent, a good or bad one. Once we stop making it so freaking hard for homosexuals to have children (by whatever means) I'm sure there will be plenty of awful gay parents out there, also.
