"How would they even know if they were gay?" It's not even about if the person is actually gay, it's about being identified: "othered", and discriminated against, by the bigot for their perception. This can literally even be done to straight people. The lady who just won the anti lgbtq case didn't even have a gay client, they were perceived, or likely made up flat out. I wonder if Benny realizes there would still be a perception, and discrimination by bigots, of two straight guys being gay if they were to hold hands, show affection, dress a certain way, sound a certain way.

Claiming homosexuality as enviromental behavior means the possible erasure of heterosexuality and its presumed naturality. Political lesbians and queer theorists used this argument very much in the 70s

[@jedensnow1084]

That's not what Ben is saying. Ben is saying that there is a distinction between being black vs being gay in the sense "being gay" is referring to a set of behavioral characteristics whereas being black has nothing to do with behavioral characteristics but instead only physical characteristics. If "being gay" is a protected class, then that means we are forcing people to accept a set of behaviors, not some physical characteristic of being.

[@ottobormann]

I have a lexicon issue with English, straight is something that it is not bent, curved or crooked. And mentally straight is associated with cleanliness, rectitude, correct, right, just word association. So if you are heterosexual you are “straight” and look at the connotations, the opposite of straight is what it is non-heterosexual. The use of straight as synonyms of heterosexual should be culturally faced out to avoid the implications of using this word.

That's why they do it Gaslighting, aka Grooming. Accusation in a mirror (AiM), mirror politics, mirror propaganda, mirror image propaganda, or mirror argument is a hate-speech incitement technique where one falsely attributes to one's adversaries the intentions that one has for oneself and/or the actions that one is in the process of enacting. During the 1994 Rwandan genocide, accusation in a mirror was used by the Hutus, along with other propaganda techniques, to incite the genocide in 1999. A straw man fallacy is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The fallacy of begging the question occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion, instead of supporting it. In other words, you assume without proof the stand/position, or a significant part of the stand, that is in question. Begging the question is also called arguing in a circle. Argument from incredulity, also known as argument from personal incredulity, *appeal to common sense* or the *_Divine fallacy_* (that is, pretending to be Omniscient, and able to know things you cannot know) is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition must be false because it contradicts one's personal expectations or beliefs, or is difficult to imagine, as if your beliefs have any empirical or tangible values The Gish gallop /ˈɡɪʃ ˈɡæləp/ is a rhetorical technique in which a person in a debate attempts to overwhelm their opponent by providing an excessive number of arguments with no regard for the accuracy or strength of those arguments. Gish galloping prioritizes the quantity of the galloper's arguments at the expense of their quality. Bullshivic (Bolshevik, bull, civic-minded, demagogue), someone who gains political power by appealing to people's emotion's instincts, & prejudices in a way that is considered manipulative & myopic; someone who incessantly reiterates the same petty complaints, until they are taken seriously. There are citizens with valid complaints & issues, but invariably the meeting will have to deal with some Bullshivic & his personal gripe of "supreme importance". *Gaslighting is a psychological term used to describe* the process of *grooming* someone into believing that they are losing it or going crazy. *Gaslighting a child is perhaps the most egregious form of child abuse.* Gaslighting is a common form of emotional/psychological abuse and can be used as a tactic in *grooming* children for abuse. The term comes from Gaslight (1944) a movie where the technique is used by the characters. *Gaslighting is sometimes also called “crazy making”.* *In the context of child sexual abuse (CSA) the **_gaslighting_** is often used to convince the victim all the abusive behaviours are fine, normal and an expression of “love”. It is used to ensure the victim doesn’t speak out about it and doesn’t fight back. It can also be used in concert with other **_grooming_** tactics like fear and isolation.* *Trivializing: The victim’s feels are made to feel like they don’t matter, are **_unfounded_** or they are weak for thinking so.* *Countering: This is quintessential gaslighting. * They _directly counter the memories and perceptions of the victim._ *Repetitive Questions: The abusive partner makes the victim doubt what they think or feel by asking the same question multiple times.* Questions are asked so many times the victim doubts their own answers. *Diverting: The abuser diverts the subject and puts the blame into outside circumstances.* "What Others Say": The abuser tells the victim what other people "think" about the victim, the abuser and/or the situation on whole. Literally what all Right Wing Fascist talking points are doing, making claims and arguments, asking questions that all rely on an unproven premise, which stumps the opponent because it's a logical fallacy. They then pretend to declare victory, knowing full well their crimes because the innocent don't know to lie. This is their entire toolkit, it's all reverse psychology, and Psychological warfare, perfected in Palestine, exported to the West. Republicans are Authoritarian Communists, America is a People's Democratic Republic with a Constitution, just like China, Iran, N Korea, and the USSR. All of which have _less_ inequality. Patriotism and Communism are Synonyms, they just Orwelled us into believing we were Capitalists, when in fact it's the rich leeching off the working class. This is why we must call for Direct Digital Democracy without parties or politicians. Citizen initiated referendums with thresholds and a social contract means Communities can vote their own laws. As well as a Public Authority to audit police and prosecute bad actors in our own courts. Thorium energy renders their global energy monopoly obsolete

it blows my mind that anyone says that one chooses their sexuality. It's really easy to test... you can try it. Go look at a picture of whatever gender you're not attracted to and try to find it attractive. No matter what you do, you can't. You're just not that into it. You can even go kiss somebody, or go on a date with somebody, or heck even go all the way, and you're still going to be like "...meh, that wasn't really my jam" (or maybe you find out it IS your jam, but that's not really the same thing). I don't really like the whole "homophobes are secretly gay" narrative, cause I don't think it's true and I think it can be harmful. But like.. if a religious person truly _does_ think being gay is a choice, aren't they basically admitting that they'd totally be gay if it wasn't a "sin"?

Some of these people protest too much. And I think lots of people are on some kind of bi spectrum.

It was no big deal though, it was just an attraction, I really don't think I'd enjoy sex with a man, so I didn't think much of it. But if I was still fundamentally religious, I would have freaked the fuck out. And I believe many conservatives have had a moment of gay attraction, suppress it, and think they beat back Satan's temptations. In their view, walking with god will lead to less temptation, so they would believe gay men were just like them, but didn't stand strong against temptation. They don't really think there are guys out there with a natural attraction to men the way they're attracted to women. They think it's sexual perversion from giving in to aberrant behavior too often.

Without even getting into tangential arguments about identity and how this relates to other protected classes, his primary argument doesn't even stand up on its own. It can be deconstructed even on the terms he's set. "This isn't discrimination against the identity, it's discrimination against a behavior." Okay. What behavior? Getting married? This website designer isn't objecting to the behavior of getting married. She would happily design a website for a straight couple. So the behavior is marrying someone of the same sex? Is this a behavior that any straight person has done or would do? No. It's a behavior that's **exclusive to** LGBTQ+ people. Therefore, it's not the behavior or actions that is being discriminated against; it's the group of people engaging in that same behavior that another group of people are allowed to engage in without discrimination. At which point this does dovetail back into your train of thought about identities, and you can list an infinite number of examples of how this ties into race, religion, and other protected classes. Eating at the luncheon counter while black? It's just the behavior! Marrying a white woman as a black man? That's just an action, it has nothing to do with his identity! Etc. etc.

[@mackayladavis4021]

Exactly!

[@murquhart86]

There really is so much wrong with Ben’s view. A major jurisprudential factor has to do with why a behavior might be discriminated against. Because it’s even broader than you say - even if certain behaviors were not exclusive to LGBTQ+ people or uniform amongst them, but still very much associated with them, those behaviors might still be protected. In Canada a couple years ago there was a case regarding Sikhism - for part of the year, their religion calls for wearing a ceremonial knife, I think it was for an entire month, and it’s a pretty large knife and this posed a problem for Sikh’s going into government buildings. In America, it may jurisprudentially be ruled that wearing said knife is a dangerous behavior, and therefore there is a plausible reason to discriminate against the behavior independent of the religious view. Importantly, it could be argued there is (a) a good reason to believe that it is truly not the protected characteristic being discriminated against and (b) there is a jurisprudential argument that this form of discrimination is overall productive for society. The obvious problem with, say, discriminating against gay men who exhibit effeminate behaviors, is that it is really difficult to imagine a reasonable person agreeing that there is ever a valid reason to do so. It really doesn’t matter that effeminate behaviors aren’t exhibited by all gay men or are even necessarily exclusive to gay men. The problem would be that (1) it is difficult to imagine a reason that is productive to society for this form of discrimination and therefore (2) a protected characteristic is being discriminated against for no reason.

He knows full well Gaslighting, aka Grooming. Accusation in a mirror (AiM), mirror politics, mirror propaganda, mirror image propaganda, or mirror argument is a hate-speech incitement technique where one falsely attributes to one's adversaries the intentions that one has for oneself and/or the actions that one is in the process of enacting. During the 1994 Rwandan genocide, accusation in a mirror was used by the Hutus, along with other propaganda techniques, to incite the genocide in 1999. A straw man fallacy is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The fallacy of begging the question occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion, instead of supporting it. In other words, you assume without proof the stand/position, or a significant part of the stand, that is in question. Begging the question is also called arguing in a circle. Argument from incredulity, also known as argument from personal incredulity, *appeal to common sense* or the *_Divine fallacy_* (that is, pretending to be Omniscient, and able to know things you cannot know) is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition must be false because it contradicts one's personal expectations or beliefs, or is difficult to imagine, as if your beliefs have any empirical or tangible values The Gish gallop /ˈɡɪʃ ˈɡæləp/ is a rhetorical technique in which a person in a debate attempts to overwhelm their opponent by providing an excessive number of arguments with no regard for the accuracy or strength of those arguments. Gish galloping prioritizes the quantity of the galloper's arguments at the expense of their quality. Bullshivic (Bolshevik, bull, civic-minded, demagogue), someone who gains political power by appealing to people's emotion's instincts, & prejudices in a way that is considered manipulative & myopic; someone who incessantly reiterates the same petty complaints, until they are taken seriously. There are citizens with valid complaints & issues, but invariably the meeting will have to deal with some Bullshivic & his personal gripe of "supreme importance". *Gaslighting is a psychological term used to describe* the process of *grooming* someone into believing that they are losing it or going crazy. *Gaslighting a child is perhaps the most egregious form of child abuse.* Gaslighting is a common form of emotional/psychological abuse and can be used as a tactic in *grooming* children for abuse. The term comes from Gaslight (1944) a movie where the technique is used by the characters. *Gaslighting is sometimes also called “crazy making”.* *In the context of child sexual abuse (CSA) the **_gaslighting_** is often used to convince the victim all the abusive behaviours are fine, normal and an expression of “love”. It is used to ensure the victim doesn’t speak out about it and doesn’t fight back. It can also be used in concert with other **_grooming_** tactics like fear and isolation.* *Trivializing: The victim’s feels are made to feel like they don’t matter, are **_unfounded_** or they are weak for thinking so.* *Countering: This is quintessential gaslighting. * They _directly counter the memories and perceptions of the victim._ *Repetitive Questions: The abusive partner makes the victim doubt what they think or feel by asking the same question multiple times.* Questions are asked so many times the victim doubts their own answers. *Diverting: The abuser diverts the subject and puts the blame into outside circumstances.* "What Others Say": The abuser tells the victim what other people "think" about the victim, the abuser and/or the situation on whole. Literally what all Right Wing Fascist talking points are doing, making claims and arguments, asking questions that all rely on an unproven premise, which stumps the opponent because it's a logical fallacy. They then pretend to declare victory, knowing full well their crimes because the innocent don't know to lie. This is their entire toolkit, it's all reverse psychology, and Psychological warfare, perfected in Palestine, exported to the West. Republicans are Authoritarian Communists, America is a People's Democratic Republic with a Constitution, just like China, Iran, N Korea, and the USSR. All of which have _less_ inequality. Patriotism and Communism are Synonyms, they just Orwelled us into believing we were Capitalists, when in fact it's the rich leeching off the working class.
