I was reading the entitlements thread and was thinking about how many hundreds of billions of dollars a year are spent on the poor and how much of that was set up in the 1960's during the War on Poverty. Much of the rationale behind the War on Poverty involved helping correct historic economic wrongs because of discrimination.

So, what about Gay people? How much money have they lost over the years by not being able to get married? How many jobs have they not gotten or would have been fired from if people had known they were Gay?

What can we do to make this right? How do we address this historic injustice? How can we address Hetero-Privilege from an historic-oppressive sense? We are changing the law. Now, how do we bring about true equality?

Thoughts?

If we poured a couple million into showing homosexuality is a choice I would approve

Bringing up this possibility is a good way to pit two different obnoxious groups against each other over who gets to feed at the trough.

No such thing. Equality only exists in math.

I'm sure you can find one who'll accept something else in lieu of payment AT.

Well since they are not able to procreate you can only go as far back as the invention of the test tube babies.

On a side note a Chappell show skit about gay reparations would be funny.

Which stocks would go through the roof?

Gay people didn't let discrimination stop the from becoming, on average, wealthier than most groups. They don't need government help.

At least in 1965 if you were gay you could get a mortgage if you kept it to yourself.

No such luck for black people.

Also, my thought is you think you're smart, but you make posts like you're dumb.

If it is a really big number, I might have to make plans to come out of the closet.

Do you have to prove you're actually gay before you get a check in the mail?

Answer to the OP is $0
