Rules:

  1. Be civil. Disagreements happen, that does not give you the right to personally insult each other.

  2. No racism or bigotry.

  3. Posts from sources that aren't known to be incredibly biased for either side of the spectrum are preferred. If this is not an option, you may post from whatever source you have as long as it is relevant to this community.

  4. Post titles should be the same as the article title.

  5. No spam, self-promotion, or trolling.

Instance-wide rules always apply.

Good. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.

You don't HAVE to be bigoted trash. It IS possible to learn empathy for your fellow man, to understand that a person's sexuality does not make them more or less of a person. It IS possible to change your ways. It IS possible to make the changes within yourself... the changes that you need to make in order to prevent a sad future where your own children disown you for being a shitheel goon. It is possible to be, you know... a good person.

But I also get the feeling that you are too obsessed with the smell of your own farts to have any real understanding of how dumb you sound. Who cares if no one else wants to smell your wafting shit odor? You're perfectly happy simmering in your own idiot stink.

It's not too late. You don't have to be on the wrong side of history.
