Assuming those are the laws the OP meant, then again, thank you for finding them. I was looking perhaps too literally.
I find it a bit funny that the OP will use such a vague and misleading statement and then instead of just mentioning what law they mean complain that i should google it then mock me when I dont find any law that actually matches what he said... Like just use your words to be clear enough so people dont need to guess, its not sealioning to ask "oh what law is that"... there is **no** need for the two days of nonsense when all I needed was an accurate statement of what is being discussed and i could have googled it.
Im sure you did, but you knew what the laws were you were looking for. None of these "make being gay illegal" so obviously to someone who has no clue what is being referenced it is effectively impossible to google. I did see these laws when i googled and since they did not fit the description I had assumed they werent what was being referenced.
Obviously I have no objection to if the person wanted to be hyperbolic, but the inaccurate description did make it impossible for me to know what was being referenced or to find it.
Again, thank you so much for the links, still reading them but very much appreciated.
@mia I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt.. yes people often disapoint, but its best I dont sink to their level pre-emptively.
Holy hell the toxicity is on another level.. apparently politely asking someone what law they are talking about is the same as sealioning now... cant even make this idiocy up... two days ive been trying to get information and learn about their concerns and for even bothering to try to understand their concerns (with no opposition of any kind) makes me the bad guy.... do these people not realize that this level of toxicity is putting their communities at risk and not helping?
@ariaflame Stop being a toxic asshat, I am sincerely trying to research these issues and learn about it and all your doing is making your side look petty and childish, stop that shit.
I did a search for "law gay illegal florida" and literally cant find a single hit for any law outlawing being gay.... why is it so damn hard to just mention the law so i can research it, and why in the world would asking for the law cause you to react like a ass?
So I've been looking all day and cant find this law where it is illegal to be gay, let alone any punishments or other details.. Can someone help point me to this law, cause clearly doing my own research isnt working.
@tillybridges Happy pride!
I used to (before 2 years ago) go there often for SCUBA cave diving (one of the best spots in the world). That said there are clearly some bigoted asshats down there.
It really is... half the reason i stay away from the english speaking part of the world is because of all this drama going around.
It happens, and the apology means a lot. As I said, the internet is quite a hostile place, these misunderstandings are to be expected. the important part is how we work through them.
Apology accepted, you are good. Mistakes happen especially in such a toxic environment as the internet. The fact that we worked through it is the important part.
I aleady answered this question if you arent going to rephrase it... so no you dont have to rephrase it, but if you dont its useless in its current form as I already addressed the case of destitute poor people.
I am aware of sealioning. In fact out of fear that someone might mistake what I said for sealioning is why I added the following qualifier to my original reply "Not that I'm disagreeing with you", that way it was quite clear and explicitly stated it was not sealioning.
I do not no.. I have expressed no opinion of anykind, just asked him, if he wanted to, to explain his concerns more... hard to see how that would warrant such a response yea.
