I’m a Christian, and even I can recognize how ridiculous it is for people to oppose gay marriage based on the grounds that “The Bible defines marriage as one man and one woman.” That’s simply not true.
If these are barbaric and no longer acceptable practices, then I think we can say that prejudice against queer people is also barbaric and no longer acceptable.

The general profile of gun owners in America differs substantially from the general public. Roughly three-quarters (74%) of gun owners are men, and 82% are white.
Living in fear.
if gun ownership was a predominantly black people phenomenon, CONservatives would have Mulford Acted this problem about 2 seconds after Newtown. But. they. don’t. Because gun ownership is and always has been a white male problem and ~*they*~ don’t like having their guns regulated
Have you even visited the #gunblr tag? It’s 99.999% crazy, paranoid, overcompensating white guys with severe reading comprehension problems calling themselves “patriots” & posing with their precious, beloved gunz from every possible imaginable angle
America’s gun problem is largely a problem of white, male privilege entitlement

Republican rhetoric is worthless. On every level, domestic and foreign. Every prediction they make is devoid of reality.
Legislation that dramatically decreased the evils in this world: Child labor laws. Sexual discrimination laws. Fairness in lending laws. Anti-monopoly laws. Food safety laws. Spousal abuse laws. Age of consent laws….sadly there’s nothing to cure the evil of Libertarian stupidity.

I AM SORRY BUT THIS IS WHY I AM EMBARRASSED TO BE AN AMERICAN. IF A HIJAB THAT DORNS THE AMERICAN FLAG PATTERN IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BUT SKIMPY ASS BIKINIS OR WEARING THE FUCKING ACTUAL FLAG IS ACCEPTABLE, JUST BECAUSE THE PERSON IS WHITE, I WANT TO FUCKING THROW UP.
(I don’t have a thing against Audrey Kitching, she was just merely and example).
But this fucking disgusts me right here. It makes me want to say, fuck this country and its racism and double standards.
also notice how these people are calling her a terrorist even though she didn’t do anything wrong
but they are threatening to kill, beat, steal from, and degrade this woman for simply wearing an article of clothing
fuck everything
when will white people learn facebook is not a good place to show how racist you are
