You are a derping troll exercising his right to free speech. Therefore I'll invoke my right to free speech and suggest my fond desire for you to take your stupid someplace else.VQpwrdSE-R wrote:Tell me why do we need to cater to people who are socially deviant?

We're not going to start bashing each other over personal opinion on the topic. If all of you guys can't play nice, then the topic is getting locked. These kind of discussions are always doomed for failure anyways.Encryptshun wrote:You are a derping troll exercising his right to free speech.

Homosexuality has been around for Millenia, even glorified in the greek and roman days. I don't see any indications of our society ceasing to be yet.VQpwrdSE-R wrote:Tell me why do we need to cater to people who are socially deviant?

One could imply from the original mural that the woman depicted in the last slide is a trophy to be won too....S133P3R wrote:why doesnt it have a woman growing up? from being a baby to having one - like thats all they can do.
now that, would be sexist.

I'm not afraid to voice my opinion either, it is truly a shame when anyone shows opposition to black people and their thug lifestyle that they are called "ignorant" and "wicked stupid" as well. (see what i did thar)VQpwrdSE-R wrote:

I certainly am not a homophob or a member of the Westboro baptist church judging people as if I am GOd and screaming hatred towards any homosexual I see. I still believe in wrong and right unlike most of America and will not allow words like "politically correct" be in my dictionary. If homosexuals can voice their opinion loudly so can I. I'm not here to cause a fight with anyone on the internet. Especially the niconauts. After watching the news coverage I couldn't believe how this innocent mural was seen as offensive, and that the 17 yr old apologized for no wrong done. I imagine it was the school trying to cover their own a** and prevent any lawsuits when they asked for the last part to be erased.
VQ, the reason people jumped down your throat is because you casually tossed out an offensive expression traditionally used by homophobes ("socially deviant") That is as provocative as identifying african american people with the n-word. On a forum like this, you are judged by what you write, so in the future, may I suggest you try to choose your words more carefully.VQpwrdSE-R wrote:

I'm a straight guy who doesn't want a wife and kids either. I'm also a non-Christian who did school Christmas parties and a non-Wiccan who did Halloween school parties. I did Easter parties too but I don't believe in Jesus or resurrection.C-Kwik wrote:I don't think its that its offensive that it portrays a man with wife and kids. Its likely that the ultimate message is suggesting that having a wife and kid is what a man should aspire to. What might offend a homosexual male is that if he does not prescribe to that as a life goal, then he is an outcast or perhaps a "social deviant" as someone so eloquently put it. The art itself is not what is "offensive" either. Its the venue. That is, a school should be neutral of any kind of discrimination or bias.
I agree. I think it's much ado about nothing. This is art, people. The mural is simply a piece of art representing one artist's vision of the progression of life. Those condemning it simply because it might be exclusionary of other possible life scenarios are terribly misguided. It's not like she's openly condemning every alternative life style, race, or creed. I'm also offended by the school administration for letting it become an issue in the first place.Jesda wrote:
People aren't really offended by this. They're seeking out things to pretend to be potentially offended by and making noise about it to feel important. It's like a baby that cries because the mother walks away from the crib. It isn't genuine physical distress. It's a desire for attention.
