Thread: "Russophobia" and "Russophilia" :)

Once we as a world decide to accept one another: black, white, Christian, Muslim, Jew, Straight or LGBT, male or female and so on and that your idea of "normal" and my idea of "normal" may not be the same but we still have the same rights to be on this Earth and live in peace and be safe, obtain a quality education, have a relative happy and prosperous life, and be able to be with whomever we choose to be with... all without the fear of prosecution or persecution... then the humans in this world will actually FLOURISH.

Strangely enough is that some of the western countries are ready to accept not just homosexuality, but aggressive propaganda of homosexuality and cannot accept a modest woman in a hijab

That is the wonderful thing about living in the Washington, D.C. area... we are a middle of the road area. We are not really Southern and we are not really Northern. Many people here are diplomats and people come here from other countries and cultures... we are the true definition of the term "melting pot" (a place where different peoples, styles, theories, etc., are mixed together). I guess we have learned to become more accepting and tolerant of others.

Love the first line of this ONE!!!






This is not the high school my girls attended; however, it is in our district.





Today is primary election day in Maryland!!! It is not thought that Ms. Mizeur will win; however, if elected in November, she would be the first out lesbian governor of any state.

Sounds like a nice corner of the USA You've got the best of all worlds by the sounds of it! I remember reading the "Homecoming" series as a child - it takes place in Maryland, very nicely depicted.

If I lived in Maryland, I wouldn't want to know about the governor candidate's sexual life and preferences, but about the person's skills and ability to manage the state and its economics. I really don't see how this person being lesbian is going to benefit anyone in the state. I think she should have kept that to herself.

There has already been a Lesbian head of state, btw. Johanna Sigurdardottir in Iceland. I admire her politics a lot - she was great for Iceland at a very difficult time.
I don't think she intended for it to be known that she was lesbian though, it just emerged somehow and people accepted it because she was well liked for other reasons. She brought Iceland out of the banking collapse of 2008 by refusing to be bullied by the IMF or international banks, and also banned striptease clubs.

I don't hate gay people or wish them any ill at all. I just think it's gone too far, when people are forced to travel to work in a gay-flagged bus for a week (happened to me) or Europe votes for somebody to win Eurovision mainly because it's "cool" that the person is a transvestite. Etc. Plus, as a person who calls myself a Christian, I would lose all credibility if I didn't acknowledge what the bible very clearly says about it.
