To protest a bill that would require women to undergo an ultrasound before having an abortion, Virginia State Sen. Janet Howell (D-Fairfax) on Monday attached an amendment that would require men to have a rectal exam and a cardiac stress test before obtaining a prescription for erectile dysfunction medication.

Just thought I should point out that if that bus said, oh say:
“Christians touch hearts
Homosexuals touch children”
it would be offensive and people would harass that bus company until it was removed. I guess it’s okay to take something horrible a few individuals did and say that millions of people with only surface similarities are exactly the same as them as long as it’s religion and not someone’s race, sex, or gender. Because hey, it’s not like we should have any respect for other peoples’ beliefs if they’re different from ours, right?
Bigotry’s all well and good so long as it’s directed at Christians.
That is not to imply that no Christians have ever been bigots -obviously, they’re some of the worst offenders. But not only do those represent only a small fraction of Christians, fighting bigotry and hate with more of the same only perpetuates the cycle.

The difference is that being an homosexual has nothing to do with touching children but being highly religious had everything to do with 911. It is not bigotry to state fact.
In reason:-FA

I’m confused why the original commentary seems to think this is anti-Christianity in particular. I would have assumed anti-Islam. Unless I’m missing something.
Also I don’t know how effective a ‘homosexuals are pedophiles’ jab is when it’s Christians you’re comparing them to…

update on the nap tag thing

it appears most of the “nap” tag is pictures of cats sleeping. i should have known. 

interestingly, “naps” seems to be more text posts and babies (gross).

i almost had an accidental nap after masturbating

because i was just so warm and comfortable and sleep felt so nice. i somehow managed to reluctantly escape the nap’s clutches.

unfortunately i’ve had 2.5 hours to do work and have not done anything, and now have a coffee date to catch up with one of my friends. but i’m all groggy from denying myself a nap. the nap equivalent of blue balls i guess. sorry nap… i just don’t have time for you.

am i turning anyone else on, or just me?

About Me

Queer Canadian feminist, aspiring biologist. Into atheism, reading, writing, drawing, gaming, yoga, and health. I like wholeness, wellness, the human body, and weird, dark, twisted things. I like books and movies that make you feel sort of uncomfortable, unsettled and satisfied. I like people who are funny, independent, sarcastic, laid-back, passionate, kind, intelligent and analytical, and I hope one day I can call myself all of those things.

Ask me anything.
