ST Homosexuality and TFA

By suggesting that homosexuality in a Star Wars film = "crapping on" Star Wars, you have proven, despite your best efforts, that you are indeed deeply intolerant of homosexuality. Just wanted to get that confirmed before we all move on.

 

I am intolerant of homosexuality. Why is that such a big deal? I have my views you have yours. I'm not critiquing your views. I simply don't want it in Star Wars. Just because you accept homosexuality doesn't mean the entire world does too

 

I have fully owned up to my views. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. You, on the other hand, try to pass off opposition to homosexuality in Star Wars as opposition to the politicization of Star Wars. It's a weasel argument, because there's nothing political about homosexuality. It simply is what it is.

Furthermore, I never said I wanted LGBT in Star Wars. I'm simply trying to understand why you are so opposed to it. Personally, I don't mind if it's there or not. Either way, I'll be fine with it in the context of a good story. You're the only one here with the demands. You're stating, unequivocally, that you "don't want" LGBT elements in Star Wars. Well, then, go make your own Star Wars films without it.

 

There's nothing political about homosexuality. I agree. Including homosexuality in a Star Wars film, is.

Jeez, finally. Now we can all get on with our lives.

 

It is political when you force people to embrace it through media and various aspects of their life.

 

Well in then according to that logic, race and gender are political.

 

Having homosexuality wouldn't exactly be a strategic move and Disney knows this. That's why I have faith.

Adding it they will for certain lose half of the fans in the U.S and 90% of the countries in the world that watch Star Wars. Fact.

 

Another weasel argument. If you live here in the US, you're not forced to do anything you don't want to do in respect to this issue. You can oppose LGBT rights, and spout your intolerance all over the place, as much as you like. And as long as you don't physically hurt anyone in the LGBT community (or call for a physical attack on anyone in the LGBT community) there will be absolutely no legal consequences.

 

Sad part is yes because there are sick people out there that use it to drive a nail in between the things that we all have in common merely for their own profit and power.

 

No it doesn't. Why do you compare orientation to race and gender?

Bait and flame

 

That is a really dumb suggestion and devoid of fact.

 

Mav Edit: That's not appropriate.

 

The u.s is one of the few country's that accepts homosexuality. Disney wouldn't be stupid enough to try and pull a stunt like that.

 

I see I hit a nerve with you. Too bad. Don't call me a Weasel just because I don't fly the same flag at my house as you do. I haven't called you one, so who is intolerant here again? Like I said before, Pot Calling Kettle Black.

I don't care what you believe in because it does not affect my life, but when someone forces something on me that I do not see fit in my life, thst is where I draw the line in the sand and stand up for what makes me, me.

 

Like race & gender, orientation is something you're born with. It's not necessarily something you're aware of until later in life (be it at 6 years old, or 16, or 56)

Some countries execute people for being homosexual. Should we model ourselves on those nations? I hope Disney does pull such a "stunt", to show how wrong your ridiculous statistics are.

 

Neither. He doesn't hate Jews or blacks as far as his comments say.
Again the agenda people pulling the race card where it is not needed.

 

I've so far avoided this thread as rather predictably this subject always descends into severe trolling, gross bigotry and outright homophobia and yep you guys have proved me entirely right. Kudos to those with an open mind and a level head, but for the others I just gotta say I see a lot of crying about "an agenda" but so what if Disney and the creators do have an agenda? If their agenda is wanting to see more diverse characters that reflect their audience is that really a bad thing? Please explain because I fail to see that as a negative?

 

So now you're born with it? Please leave that b.s excuse out of here. There are plenty of experiments disproving that. And i know plenty of people who were gay and became straight and vice versa. And those people laugh at that redundant statement of how "they are born with it" you're trying to start a flame war, you're going to lose.

Your race and gender however is determined at birth and can never change it.
