Ben Carson is an outlier and shouldn't be counted.

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

And Graham Chapman wasn't exactly a straight man either.

No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

UP, I can't appreciate that one, because "gaslighting" is in fact a thing that real, live abusers do to their victims.

Move every 'sig.'  For great justice!

Also that just comes across as "these people talking about their abuse aren't REALLY abused, they're just whining about not having perfect partners"

Yes, but it the term is ridiculously overused on much of the Social Justice side of Tumblr.

Also that just comes across as "these people talking about their abuse aren't REALLY abused, they're just whining about not having perfect partners"

Again, certain parts of Tumblr have a ludicrously broad definition of abuse.

OK, sure, but you're kind of tarring the whole website with the same brush, and it's a big wesbite. I mean, I'm sure my Tumblr experience is atypical*, but it's really weird when people go "everyone on tumblr is an SJW which always abuses X term" and I never see it happen in my dash, ever.


*by design. I tend to limit myself to a few very specific communities and fandoms.

Um, no I wasn't.  I used qualifiers like "much of" and "parts of".  I don't believe in broad strokes characterization such big and diverse websites.
