gaytheist posted:I think one of the simultaneously funny and/or disturbing aspects of living in toronto is how viruently and openly racist many people in the gay community are. They will always justify this by playing claiming that they (blacks, natives, asians, whatever) are more homophobic than they are racist anyways before the falling back sort of biotruth or whatever. That being said lots of straight gay men hate trans people with just as much if not more vitrol.
Ugh
last nite i got into a conversation with this punk chick who lived in columbus (OH) about a place she used to spend a lot of time at, the famous straight edge / hardcore / anarchist venue legion of doom and how when our band which was comprised of all religious people played there we got yelled at and one dude did a really long speech to our female bandmember about how she was an idiot for being muslim and being a woman and the chicks response was, 'well you shouldn't have played at an anarchist venue if yall are religious' which i thought was really funny. anyways, that reminds me of the sort of attitude you're talking about
like i thought the whole point of straight edge was "look at how hardcore and tough i am even tho i dont drink or do drugs because jesus love me"

what would happen if you had a kid and didn't bother to teach them to read or educate them in any way before sending them to school? would the government punish you or something

EmanuelaOrlandi posted:uh no straight edge is generally an atheist movement what the fuck are you talking about
oh okay. my experience with straight edge consists of a quaker-cum-evangelical kid i knew in portland, a plotline involving mormon straight edge kids on the hit hbo series Big Love, and a muslim straight edge character in the film The Taqwacores, so i guess i was confused
