That's what I was getting at. Those are unambiguously bad. If I called someone an atheist or liberal, not an insult. I think well of both.
-
You could take offence if you thought those were bad things but that would reflect your values, not mine.
-
I'd not be offended by playground insults, btw. I'd just feel pity for the emotionally immature sad sack who felt so much rage.

They of course have the right to piss of religious people. Time-honoured tradition for pride parades. But it's important WHY ppl are pissed.
-
They think defending the honour of Islam is more important that addressing Islamic homophobia by the looks of it.
-
Christians are exactly the same. "You're insulting my religion!" Meanwhile religion used to justify denying human rights to LGBTs.

Another said "Islamophobia is an oxymoron". You don't have to be homophobic to be pissed of about these signs.
-
Of course if you think Islam is good, people who think it's bad will irritate you & vice versa. Both should be allowed tho.
-
I agree completely that both should be allowed.And understandable in the context of pride parade.Maybe not the most constructive way,though.
-
I think it has started important conversations. Often people don't believe leftists cld side with religious conservatives over Muslim LGBTs

One of the signs said FUCK ISLAM in red and had the IC HOMOPHOBIA added in black. That's a pretty direct statement against islam in general.
-
Did it? You could certainly take the opposite position to that and say Islam was good & this wouldn't necessarily say anything bad about you
-
But in general both of those positions are fine. 'Fuck Muslims' I'd have a problem with coz that is bigotry against people.

No. Portraying god as a human with a sexuality or race should be bad for most practising muslims.
-
Sure. Don't associate anything with God. But that's not what's being complained of.
