Sochi, Gays, and How the Media Twists the Truth

[LANDM]

I see what you're doing, LANDM.

cut it out.

Ok, let's see here.......... a story is posted about a Toronto man creating rainbow coloured dolls. You then state that some guy in Toronto likes gay propaganda, ctv thinks it's newsworthy, Steven Lloyd posted it, and you're with Russia and gay propaganda should be illegal.

I'm gobsmacked that you think rainbow coloured dolls should be illegal and you claim that "you see what I am doing. Cut it out"

Perhaps whatever hole you find yourself in has been dug by yourself, entirely of your own accord, stemming from whatever belief systems you are powered by.
There is nothing to "cut out". Your way of thinking is no longer acceptable by the mainstream in our society. I fully realize that just a short time ago it was.
Just because it is acceptable in a russian society that has less freedoms, doesn't mean it is right. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why people feel threatened by gay folks. Just as it is not my mission in life to turn people into heterosexuals, I do not believe that gay people are trying to turn you gay.....or, as Putin thinks, turn children gay. If you consider rainbow dolls "gay propaganda", don't buy or look at them. Don't read about them. But to think they should be illegal is the height of narrow minded ness.

The guy in Toronto selling the dolls obviously wants gay propaganda.

I'm with Russia on this. Gay propaganda should be illegal.

The dolls are cute and funny - good marketing. They shouldn't be made illegal.

With all the discussion going on I thought this video is quite relevant.

I never said the dolls are gay propaganda.

You have problems comprehending , don't you, Fancy? I couldn't help noticing some 'problems' on the flu shot thread.

[Fancy]

You have problems comprehending , don't you?

lol - not at all. Just wait until the bobbleheads come out with the Russian president face on them.

[LANDM]

So, TT, if you didn't say the dolls are gay propaganda, then what exactly *is* the gay propaganda that you refer to?

You say that the doll maker somehow supports it? What is it that the doll maker in the quoted article supports, besides the simple ability for gay people to exist. I missed that somehow.

I don't really see much gay propaganda. You must inhabit circles that are very different than myself or you purposely look it up, stamp your feet, and get very very angry. (Insert visual of Marvin the Martian here).

And don't just say to google it. What are the things that the doll maker does or other gay propagandists do that get you so riled up that they must be criminalized?

[Thinktank]

You don't see much gay propaganda but you'll see even less in Russia
because it's illegal there.

In Russia gay people exist. It's totally legal for gays to exist in Russia.
they just don't have the right to promote it with obscene propaganda.

I'm sure we can trust their lawyers to decide how vulgar and how obscene the gay propaganda
can be before it's illegal. That's what lawyers are for.

It's not our media's concern.

I'm with Russia. Gay propaganda should be illegal.

[Fancy]

So if people want to fly rainbow flags you'd be against it?

It's not our media's concern.

Why can't it be?

[JLives]

I never thought I'd see the day rainbows were considered obscene propaganda. Weird.

good one.

Agreed - it is propaganda - no reason to see it banned.

You also said earlier "Gay propaganda is filthy in my opinion and should be banned. I'm with Russia on this one."
But, you didn't answer my question......what are these propaganda items put out by gays that have you so riled up????


My gosh, you must go absolutely NUTS when you see a Skittles ad!!!!! I can just see it now "aaaaaaargh, gay rainbow candies!!!!"

Okay - you are a hero. You have saved gays in Russia by making jokes on a thread that ten people read.

Feel better now?

[Fancy]

Awareness and enlightenment can be reached using the media - how they are twisting anything still hasn't been explained.

What exactly is “gay propaganda” ? Is the public demonstration for inclusion and tolerance by an ostracized and marginalized group of persons considered propaganda ? When the civil rights movement was occurring in the United States was that “black propaganda” ? When women were demonstrating for the right to vote was that “women’s propaganda” ?

Curious how some "think".
