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?

He did do one about gay culture permeating every facet of American life. It was hilarious.

Gay KKK for the win.
