- Funny. "a place where its not acceptable to grant special treatement and
- privileges to certain groups of individuals" doesn't exist in the US. Every
- state and the federal government grant special rights to heterosexuals, which
- are unavailable to homosexuals (ref: marriage). No state nor the federal
- government grants any rights to homosexuals that are not evenly granted to
- heterosexuals (including Colorado's cities with non-discrimination ordinances).
- So he was just being snide and ignorant of fact. You consider that "being
- logical". Sigh.
-
- Meanwhile, you invent what "radicals" would rather do as a strawman of your own
- imagination. Your attempt at sarcasm falls as flat as your logic. Have you
- actually read, say, the Denver and Boulder ordinances? Naw, that would be too
- factual for a "logical" mind like yours. You would rather sneer at parodies
- which only you think insightful.
-
- You might find the reality refreshing, if your fantasies aren't too fulfilling.
