Very off topic, but some are.

Shh it was on purpose. We'll see if she pays attention. That and I really don't pay attention to the sexual orientation of actors, unlike certain Newsweek writers. So half laziness, half on purpose.


And yes, but it falls under chastity not celibacy. And many priests don't take celibacy oaths, but chastity oaths which are more practically celibacy anyway even though they didn't used to be.

I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible for the sake of her actually getting it. Because I really hope she can get it.

I don't believe that I.A.S.K. didn't know that "lesbo" is considered a slur and the context of her post could be perceived as bigoted and offensive. I believe she was being expressive and thought she was humorous to the point where nothing else mattered.

People go on these rants and try to save face when called out. As I said in the beginning of the thread, get out of the house more and you will learn some things. Then you will KNOW if and when you are being offensive to groups, versus claiming apathy and cluelessness. If you still choose to go on a rant, that's fine if you insist, just don't attempt to explain it away after-the-fact.

I agree neither her looks nor her sexual orientation affect her ability and qualifications. However I object to the concept of "looking gay" in the first place.

I cannot tell what is ignorance and what isn't, considering she kept using the term after her initial 'lol' post.

And accepting being told that you ARE being offensive instead of saying "oh no YOU have a problem since you're seeing it as offensive." It's ok to learn that way too as long as you are trying.

Well IIRC Latin Rite Roman Catholic priests, as well as a couple of Eastern Catholic churches in communion with Rome do require oaths of celibacy.

Yeah I was just thinking about it and i had it backwards. Most priests take vows of celibacy unless they're ordained through an order and then it's typically the poverty/chastity/obedience trifecta.

Thats what I get for being up late. Regardless, my original comment was simplistic intentionally.

Or unless they're Episcopal or Orthodox priests.

Goddamn it! I'm being simplistic on purpose!


Also, we all know they don't really count.

She used God's name in vain when discussing priests. Uh oh!
