    Lando in esb was not a political move. That's racism.

    Orientation at birth has been disproven numerous time that is however irrelevant here. People hate specific races, yes that still exists however you hating him for being racist, how does that make any difference *personal attack*

    You could always have some sort of ancient culture have an issue with homosexuality and a Force user struggling with becoming a Jedi for the right reasons or as a way to hide his or her sexual orientation from this society. One must remain true to the code and not let fear decide their reasoning to serve.

    Again, opposing bigotry is NOT another form of bigotry. Try and remember that.

    I fly the American flag at my house. And I believe in this country's basic principles. That's why I spent a considerable amount of time fighting for it, and the advancement of liberal/ democratic values elsewhere (including in Afghanistan, with admittedly little success). It is also why I believe in full rights for the LGBT community.

    And for the record, I am not asking you to join me in my tolerance. I am simply asking you to own up to your own intolerant opinions. Don't tell me that anyone is forcing anything down your throat, for example. They're not. You are free to do and say what you want about literally every single subject under the sun, without legal consequence. And don't tell me that Star Wars is being "politicized" because of the introduction of homosexual characters. That's simply a weaselly euphemism for "becoming tolerant of homosexuality," in this case. Just admit that you don't want homosexuals in Star Wars, because you don't like homosexuality, and move on.

    Bigotry, couched in "the minority political agenda is taking away my freedoms!" nonsense, is, simply put, intolerable to me.

    *personal attack* I fired back demanding you remove your post because it disrespects the people who died because of those flags, Jews and Americans... oh and if I am a racist wht would I say Americans instead of blacks. Those blacks were Americans after all i the Civil War era.

    Where were these "experiments" done? Dexter's Laboratory? And exactly how were these "experiments" carried out?
    Show me some proof of this please. And I don't mean something some fanatical religious person printed in their newsletter.

    Oh so I am intolerant because I see homosexuality detrimental to the Star Wars franchise... got it. You are not making this a better argument in your favor. I too fly the American flag and firmly believe in the Constitution as it was written. So if I have the right to say something, I exercise it. If that makes me a weasel, then you are a poisonous snake.

    And you have not fought for those in the sandbox out there.. If you have, you would never discredit the hardwork of troops and their deaths out there.

    Interesting that you keep saying liberal. No one here has stated a political affiliation. Are you saying that only liberals oppose bigotry?

    Simple hedge tactic. If you politicize an issue, you either discredit it, or create space for opposing arguments to be viewed as "legitimate." Either way, you increase your advantage. On the other hand, if you treat homosexuality as the non-political reality that it is (much like climate change, another non-political reality), then the "political" view that homosexuality is wrong and/or purely a choice, is discredited. That's why these two posters continue to argue that the issue is a political one. That gives them a false "legitimacy" to stand on.

    Spooling & Insidious are almost certainly trolling, given how blatant their bigotry is... probably shouldn't feed them anymore or this thread will end up locked like those folks pages ago wanted. [face_plain]

    And that may very well be their intention.
