[Dude]

What do you suggest we call them then? Technically they oppress homosexuals because of that with their "religious freedom" so they can't get married ie that bitch in Kentucky so should we call them sexualitists?

[Dudeman]

Should we call gay people heterophobes for similar reasons?

[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

pls stop using the word homophobe to describe people who view homosexuality as morally wrong.  Thanks.

Alright, what word would you prefer? Because, I apologize in advanced, but the only other word that comes to mind is "bigotry".

since when are gay people against people getting married?

How about "people who prefer homosexuality" and "people who prefer heterosexuality"? Anything wrong with those terms?

[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

I was mainly referring to NoS.
But those terms don't fit into a personal attack very well the same way "homophobe!" does
In all seriousness, it's a bit clunky and someone could probably make a latin version of it that flows off the tongue better

I just find it funny that there isn't an equivalent term from the straight side of things.

wait I keep reading this and get more and more confused

What possible reasons could there be?

[Waddle Bro]

I'm trying to understand exactly what this line was intended to mean, but it doesn't really hold no matter how I look at it. Labeling something as "offensive" doesn't automatically make it incorrect. That makes absolutely no sense. This notion of "Everyone has to think the same way as I do or else I'm going to get offended!!!" is really silly and is against both pluralism (which is a value that the left holds near and dear!) and all common sense.

Actually considering how the definition of offensive is subjective, so there is no universal definition for what can be defined as offensive. So it's technically perfectly okay for someone to label just things that happens to be incorrect as offensive, meaning it'd be justified for the person to view everything that's offensive as incorrect.
You worded it poorly, but the leftist view sees that everyone has the right to be upset about anything at any time. You shouldn't ever question the person who is offended by anything but rather the thing the person is offended about, when trying to define "should that person be offended by that?".
With all due respect, it's arrogant try to raise your argument's point with "it makes no sense" or "it defies all common sense", especially when your point is questionable. Humble alternatives for it are fe. "it makes no sense to me" or "i just don't get it", instead of speaking as if you'd represent the entire universe.

Secondly, political correctness is not supposed to be objectively correct or incorrect. If politically correct was synonymous with correct, then why even add the politically in front? I Googled "politically correct" definition, and essentially it means neutral and unoffensive. Not right and not wrong, but intended to not insult anyone. And that's fine. The problem arises when people start calling others "politically incorrect" for holding different viewpoints than them, and then the left becomes the Spanish Inquisition or the lynch mob with torches and pitchforks to burn the heretic.

But should you be offended in the first place if someone is correct?
also you are close-mindedly implying that the left becomes a lynch mob only because some one sees things differently, which is against the left message. Just because someone sees things differently, doesn't make the other viewpoint wrong, or justified just because people have a right to have different viewpoints.
which gets me to my next point
The reason the "freedom" of speech is and should be restricted, is because it can be abused to undermine an individual's other rights, like equality. Like people use it to justify racism, which would allow people to be seen unequally. It should be restricted like any other "freedoms" that contradict other rights. like they restricted the "freedom of stabbing people to death".
Though it's still notable how these "human rights" are just there to keep up the society and actually are still questionable. for example, the freedom of taking someone else's life can still be ethically arguable.

except it's the definition of a homophobe, because it discrimination if you see heterosexuality as right and homosexuality as wrong.

do you see gay people discriminating straights, because i'm pretty sure the gays are the only oppressed minority just saying.

[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

i'm pretty sure the gays are the only oppressed minority just saying.

You're just talking about sexuality, right?

I promised myself I wouldn't be involved in anything controversial on NSM again but I just wanna answer this question.

Yes. My parents know some gay people and they have a cow about heterosexuality all the time.

[Dude]

Have you see this firsthand or just heard it from your insanely Christian parents?

[Sebastian]

Yes. I've seen this first hand.

Christians are being killed in China for what they believe. Btw, Christians are killed and discriminated against just as much if not more than Atheists.

I don't agree with Islams but I don't kill them either.

Yeah I bet those gay people are those same ones that are keeping you from getting married and having children all the time!!!

As are atheists in the middle east.
You're also cherry picking verses, and forgetting verses like Psalms 137:9;
"Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them upon the rocks."
And you'd be interested to know that had you kept going, the quote you referenced happens to refer to when Muslims (and not Islams as you called them) are at war.
