Disney Dipping Their Toes Into The Golden Era…

[hazmatt]

I have pals who range from regular conservative to far right.  And I have pals who range from regular liberals to far left.

Each side feels the other side doesn't respect some portion of humanity.  Each side feels that the other has people who would like to kill them.

The bulk of each side is not out to kill people.  Most conservatives are OK with LGBT people living their lives and doing their own thing.  There are conservatives who have gay friends, and there are gay conservatives.  They just don't want to be force fed someone else's ideology.  Just like most non-religious people are OK with others going to church -- as long as they aren't being force fed religion.

However, in general of the two groups, in my experience, liberals are far less tolerant and more supportive of violence toward the other side.

For example , I used to live on the west coast, in the land of Microsoft, Google, Starbucks, Amazon, Boeing, big law firms, etc., and involved some in academia.  If you let folks at work know that voted conservative, you could get fired or pushed into the margins.  And you would not be hired in the first place if anyone knew that beforehand.  People running as regular conservatives (no extreme positions) for local government got threatened, got their property vandalized, and people came to their houses and threaten their wives and family.  Being known as a conservative could get you ostracized in your neighborhood, with neighbors not letting their kids play with your kids.  Where I lived, if you were a conservative, you had to be careful about who knew that.

There are perhaps some lower-population conservative areas that go the other way.  But the above is more likely in big cities and their suburbs, where a lot of people live, and in big businesses, where a lot of people work.

This has been my experience too. Most of my conservative friends just want to be left alone. The few liberal leaning friends I have are always trying to "convert" me. lolz

I am not LGBT. I was raised to respect people with differing opinions/beliefs within reason. Do you ever think that your beliefs might be the issue here? People should be able to live their lives without getting death threats. If it isn't physically hurting you then you have no grounds to complain because there are plenty people that are actually in danger because if they live how they should be able to they risk getting killed.

 Freedom for me but not for thee

Do you really believe what you type?  Where are all of these people threatening to kill others with mental disorders (1% of the population in this instance).  While you're at it, also see if you can find one of those fleeting Nazi skinheads that some say are wreaking havoc in this country.       

Bottom line, Disney has every right to force their beliefs onto their customers through their content, and the customer then has every right to reject that content.  By the way, how does a parent who raises their child to be respectful of others, but does not want LGBT being pushed on their child equate to being a religious nut?

Oh I love the irony here. I love conservatives get butt hurt and act like the snowflakes that they complain about when someone doesn't believe in their beliefs. Explain to me why being LGBT is a bad thing? Is it due to the "teachings" of the made up man in the sky? You can have differing opinions but invalidating someones existence and wanting to purge them because you don't like them is crazy to me. That is all I have to say about the dumpster fire of a thread this is and how annoying this community is when it comes to this topic.

Turn in your liberal card immediately.

The bolded is exactly what liberals and progressives do to anyone that has a different view them theirs.

A good friend of mine works for FSU and has 7 years to go to hit 30.  After 23 years with the university, no one knows his true political beliefs (moderate conservative) as he has always portrayed himself as apolitical out of fear of repercussion.  He describes most of his colleagues' political moods as angry to violent.

The most narrow minded and intolerant are those who claim to be the most liberal and open minded. They accept everyone, who has exactly same opinion, everyone else is neonazi racist. That stands out especially in so called multicultural environment, which has made Sweden a battlefield and turned Belgium and The Netherlands really dangerous places for natives. Been there, seen a lot, what cannot be written in here.

My grandmother was from Belgium.  Came to the U.S. with my grandfather (Army) during WWII.  After she retired, she would make annual visits back home to visit family.  Her visits ended around '00 because of what you're describing.

Oh yes! Dressing can be dangerous. Happened to go by accident to a place where tolerant leftist liberals had their meeting with soviet flags, Che Guevara shirts and other similar stuff. Happened to be wearing brown airborne unit t-shirt, camo cargo pants and tan canvas combat boots. Guess who went crazy? I drop you a hint: It wasn't me...

The ones I see doing death threats are the same ones with the mental issues.  Once in awhile you may see some other turd, but they usually have some mental issue too. I am fine if they are getting help and not trying to push their issues on me.
